Ace's entanglement only grew worse after he happened to mention wanting to swim but having no one to go with and Cora offered to go with him. He hadn't expected that. He had only been making a comment.
That led to seeing her every Saturday on top of every Sunday when he had his races. She had a traditional work week and was spending her entire weekend hanging out with him now. That was a huge deal coming from her, especially since she continued texting him throughout the week as well.
He liked being able to spend time with her one-on-one but couldn't deny that the sight of her in a swimsuit messed with his head. Thankfully she didn't seem to realize she had an effect on him. He had no idea how he would be able to explain his way out of that.
Cora trusted him. He had said he wasn't interested in romance and she had taken him at his word. He couldn't go back on it just because he was attracted to her.
