The expectant curiosity on Harper's face was dazzling. For a moment, Eli simply stared, forgetting to answer her question.
She was gorgeous today. Breathtakingly so. He had been transfixed ever since she stepped through those glass doors to the terrace, just as the evening sunlight fell at an angle onto her delicate frame. It was enchanting, the way her eyes gleamed when she took in the scenery in front of her, the way her lips parted ever so slightly in a silent gasp of awe. Not to mention how beautifully that new dress fit her, the soft ivory lending her skin a silky, flawless glow. Eli had to try hard not to keep his gaze locked on her for too long, as if he was ogling … like he probably appeared to be doing right now.
But it was so difficult to look away, especially when she had that waiting smile on her face.
