Just then the doorbell rings

“Enjoy your night, darling girl And whatever happens, let it You deserve this night out”

“Thank you,” I breathe, sing back e to admit it out aloud

I open the door and feel my heart jump into my throat

“Wow,” Ca”

I blush at his compliment

“You don’t look so bad yourself,” I reply I peruse his body slowly His ashed jeans fit hio shorts he had on earlier His navy blue button down shirt shows off his chest and the sleeves, rolled up to his elbows, accentuate his forear The navy blue also hter

“Are you ready to go?” he asks

I nod and grabthe door behind me He rests his hand on the hollow of my lower back and leadsme inside and then walks around to the driver’s side He starts the ignition and pulls away from the curb

“Wow,” I breathe “This is…” I trail off

“Surprised?” Cameron asks next to me The look of worry on his face is faint, but I see it

“Very,” I reply “But I love it”
