"I'll take you home."
Three simple words, and Milo Sinclair's thoughts were laid bare.
There wasn't much left to say between the two; Milo taking the initiative meant he was lowering himself in a gesture of reconciliation, indicating that the ball was still in Shea Thorne's court.
But lowering himself didn't mean she had to accept it or feel grateful.
"So, will you still have time to take her home?" Shea gestured slightly ahead with her chin, pointing at the foreign beauty.
Milo was momentarily stunned and turned to look at the crowd within the hall. The foreign lady who had accompanied him was chatting happily with the host of the party, Justin Lawson.
They didn't know what they were talking about, but the conversation seemed delightful, and Justin, known for his occasional seriousness, was obviously treating this lady with significant respect.
