Raven’s POV
When was the last time I was at a restaurant? Not just going to a location for a meeting where no one orders anything except for water and we discuss business, but actually sitting down and eating a meal. When was the last time I did that? Had I ever done this?
No.
I don’t think I have. At least, I certainly have not done this for a date.
Is that what this is? A date?
I feel my chest tighten, which is certainly a new phenomenon for me. Is this what it feels like to be nervous in a social situation? Are my palms coated with a cold sweat? Yes. Do I look too odd here compared to the stunning woman sitting across from me? I hope not.
I feel something brush against my foot and immediately tense, expecting to be grabbed from below, when I see Blair’s gentle smile coaxing me to relax. Like the sun against snow, I feel the chill in my body dissipating.
How did she have this ability over me?
