Chapter 26 He Smiles

• He smiles. It makes him look so beautiful that I feel a tiny squeezing sensation in my chest. Stop it, Katherine. You’re the one seducing him, not the other way around.
• “What do you like to read?” he asks. “What kind of movies do you like to watch?”
• And for the next thirty minutes, he learns all about my enjoyment of romance novels and detective thrillers, my hatred of romantic comedies, and my love of epic movies with lots of special effects. Then he asks me about my favorite food and music, and listens attentively as I talk about my preference for eighties’ bands and deep-dish pizza.
