"Must you stare?" Scarlet asked, trying her best to ignore how Ian watched her. She was only drinking tea yet he was acting as though she was putting on a play.

"Perhaps," Scarlet honestly answered. "Tea is one of the things that I like about you."

"And the other things?" Ian inquired.

"Those are my secrets," Scarlet responded, a small smile showing on her lips as Ian didn't enjoy her withholding her answer. "Did you not taste the tea when you made it?"
