Ryan had seen a lot of PDA from Jorge and some of his numbered women, but never like he did with Mirabel. He showed a vulnerable side of him that even he, Ryan, had never seen. Mostly, those numbered women were more than willing for those attention displays, but it had taken Jorge a bit of time to get Mirabel to reciprocate or even accept them in front of others, as depicted by her slight stiffening stance before she relaxed and wrapped her arms around him.
Mirabel felt herself flush once again because Ryan was in the room, and she felt too self-conscious.
"Collin called."
That seemed to do the trick because Jorge's head shot up, "Is he okay?"
She giggled and felt so fuzzy. The care and attention that Jorge showed to Collin Tony was so overwhelming that Mirabel had to remind herself time and time again that he was Collin's legal father repeatedly. But coming from a place where his own father had rejected him, she still felt overawed with gratitude.
