Aurelia Shaw looked up at him, her eyelashes long, her gaze always carrying a hint of allure. "Every time my dad sees you, it's like a mouse seeing a cat.

"So you suspect that there might be something between the two of us?" Mason Nightshade asked.
"It's just speculation." Aurelia lowered her eyes to the glass of milk.

She never knew she could be so bold.
Maybe it's because she felt she owed him something.
