Family Affairs!

Rachel's Pov

The car's engine purred softly, its sound echoing through the stillness of the night air as I refused to leave. My hands were on the door handle while I was trying to stretch out the conversation as best as I could and get more information about wolves. 

Maxim looked at the golden watch on his wrist, then shifted his gaze to meet mine.

"Rachel, it's getting late. Why don't you head in? We'll meet up later and pick up where we left off on the conversation." 

I nodded in agreement, tucking a lock of hair behind my hair. Why did I even try to be slick? I guess I just never imagined he would be able to see right through me. I met his gaze, my eyes shimmering with gratitude.

"Thanks for today, Maxim. I had a wonderful time with you." 

He smiled, nodding slowly.
