You didn't expect Harrison Vance sitting in booth 07, calmly holding a fine china cup as if he had been waiting for you all morning.

INTERCEPTED COMMUNICATION
Text thread with Chloe Bennett (Best Friend)"I know you're furious with me, but he paid off my entire magazine event budget AND proved he's been managing a marriage fund for 650 days. Just go to booth 07. Hear him out!"
THE TRAP CLOSES"This is a mistake," you say sharply, backing away from the table. "I'm not doing this, Harrison."Before you can turn, he leans across the small mahogany table. Long, warm fingers press firmly over the back of your hand, pinning you to the spot. The familiar heat of his touch sends a jolt straight up your spine.
"It took me 285 days to calculate every variable and clear the board," Harrison whispers, his low voice brushing against your ear as his dark eyes lock onto yours with dangerous focus. "You walked into my booth. Without my permission, you aren't going anywhere."
