Chapter 40

• Gage walked into the cozy restaurant, scanning the room for his date. He spotted a woman sitting at a table by the window, sipping a glass of water and gazing out at the view. She looked stunning in a red dress, her long hair cascading down her back.
• As he approached her, she turned and smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Gage, hi," she said, standing up to greet him.
• Gage was taken aback, unsure of how she knew him. But before he could ask, she politely introduced herself.
