“That sounds good too…” he replied before he grinned at me.
Did he have something else in mind?
“Is there something else that you’d rather do this evening?” I asked curiously.
“Not really. Having dinner together this evening sounds just fine…” he replied casually.
“Ok, then. I’ll work on the booking, so you don’t have to worry about it,” I replied reassuringly.
I smiled at him while my mind already imagined a romantic dinner date with Ace for the evening. Suddenly, the world seemed like a much brighter and more loving place. Life didn’t seem so hard as it did before and there was a spring in my steps as I turned to walk away from him.
“Rina…” he called my name softly.
I felt a tug on my wrist and looked down to see Ace’s large hand around my wrist. My eyes widened in slight surprise as I turned to face him with a questioning look on my face.
“Come here, Rina. I never said that you could leave just yet…” Ace said as he pulled me back towards him.
