Leona Grant stared fixedly at Annabelle Linton, the fire in his heart flaring up once more!
'When has she ever smiled at me like that?!'
'When has she ever smiled at me like that, huh?!'

But for fuck's sake, that only worked if he didn't keep running into her!
Leona Grant felt so drained.

Annabelle Ainsworth, sitting across from him, jumped in surprise. Following his gaze, she saw Annabelle Linton, her face radiant with a smile.
