My heart raced.Was anything on my face? Was it the make up? Does he know? Immediately I looked away. In my head, I was running around like a headless chicken. OMG! What does that mean? Why was he staring at me? Did Marissa say anything?I instantly ran upstairs and straight to my room. The moment I shut the door behind me, I leaned into it as my heart raced. I didn’t leave my room again. So I began to target when he wasn’t around to come out of the house, but weirdly I always bumped into him.

She was free to fantasize about she and Henry. And of course she took the job but didn’t mention to Danny that her now boss was Henry.The doorbell shattered the quietness, jolting Elena out of her literary world.

And by the way what are you sorry for” he smiled at her.Marissa pointed towards the house.” I think I should get back inside” she laughed nervously.“Come on, I just got here. Play with you me” he kicked the ball and it landed at her feet.“ Nah I —” “Unless you are a chicken” Henry smirked.“No I’m definitely not” Marissa laughed nervously.“Okay you can go. I guess you are not confident enough in those skills of yours” he said looking away.Marissa’s laugh turned to a scoff. “Mr. Henry I am everything and confident” “It’s just Henry” he squinted at his watch. “ Then why are you running a

"Always calling at the worst times." She rolled her eyes.Henry raised an eyebrow, his piercing gaze fixing on her.
