Brayden's confession made Mina's heart thud in her chest. The man was staring at her, waiting for a response, but she could not open her mouth, nor could she formulate a reply. She felt her face growing hot as his gaze bore down on her, and in that moment, Mina was tempted to let the chips fall where they may, but Connor and Cylus had warned her about the man.
"Brayden. You do not like me. You may find me attractive, but you do not know enough about me to like me." Once again Mina was shocked by the man's honesty.
"It's true, when I first saw you, I only noticed your appearance, and in the meetings I later had with you, I was still mostly drawn to your beauty, but with each conversation we have, I like you a little more." Mina opened her mouth and pulled in air, ready to rebuttal the man's statement, but he cut her off again. "At least give me a chance to prove it to you."
