He said very
softly, “You have beautiful eyes. I didn’t expect that.”
“What?”
“It’s the gold in

She didn’t know
what to say, so she stood there, speechless, mouth opened in surprise. She’d
been told her eyes were pretty before—who hadn’t?—but coming from him, it
seemed to take a deeper meaning. She felt another hot blush creep up her
throat.
“What do you mean,
you didn’t expect it?”
“I’ve been
watching you.”
“Yeah, I noticed
that. Why?”

between them, filled with a weight she didn’t quite fathom. He seemed to be
sifting through his thoughts, examining and discarding responses. At last he
said simply, “I find you intriguing.”
“That sounds a
little creepy considering you’ve never even met me before,” she said.
He laughed, and
the sound sent a trill down her spine. She didn’t know if he was flirting with
her or toying with her. Maybe it didn’t matter. She was ill equipped to handle
either one.
“You and your
brother seem to be having a disagreement tonight,” he said, switching the
subject so unexpectedly that she had to scramble to keep up.
“I can’t see how
that’s any of your business,” she answered.
