He had spread his arms and offered to carry her. May, as innocent as she was, had accepted. Then, when she felt his chest against her shoulder and saw his face from up close, she regretted it.

She could admire his long eyelashes from that close. It wasn't such a bad situation, if not for her body responding to feelings she didn't know before. It wasn't the first time she met a handsome man, so it wasn't just about the looks. Most likely, it was about his charming ways.
«What is so wrong, Miss Thorne?» he replied, mimicking her calm but ironic tone.
«What if we're seen together?»
«What of it?»
«It would be a huge scandal!»
