Chapter 88

• "Merci" I say quietly as the waiter places down the small pastry in front of me. Across the table from me, Rhodes stifles a small chuckle as he takes a sip of his coffee. "What, did I say it wrong?" I ask him quietly after the waiter leaves. I thought I had it right, I'm slowly becoming completely mortified. Rhodes's grin grows at my reaction as he shakes his head.
• "No you got it right. You're just adorable" He leans his elbows on the table and tilts his body forward slightly as he speaks.
• "I'm adorable?" I raise my eyebrow and ask him questioningly. He nods his head firmly, his eyes sparkling as the grin remains on his lips. I can feel my blush growing, maybe focusing on my pastry will help.
