Chapter 102 Serena Was Gone

• Anna giggled, the sound so soft and girly that she had to clamp her hand over her mouth to stop herself. Her cheeks were flushed from too much wine, and the way Martin was looking at her only made the butterflies in her stomach swirl even harder.
• Martin raised a brow, smirking slightly as he leaned closer, his fingers gently brushing her thigh. "You look really beautiful when you laugh," he said in a low and sincere voice.
• Anna's heart skipped a beat. It wasn't the first time someone had complimented her, but it was the way he said it-like he actually saw her, like she wasn't just a pretty face or a fun distraction. And more than anything, she realized she did not feel the urge to push his hand away. She welcomed the contact. Hell, she wanted more than just his touch. But still, she had her pride, and she wasn't about to make the first move.
