After her afternoon class ended, Mia Grant followed the crowd of students heading out.
"Hey, Mia, is that your brother?"
Her roommate poked her arm. "He's even more handsome in person than on TV! Is he mixed-race?"
Hearing the term "mixed-race," Mia Grant didn't even need to look up to know who had arrived.
She quirked her lips. "I guess so."
"Well, we'll get going then?"
"Mhm." She nodded and watched her roommates leave. They kept looking back every few steps, their gazes frequently landing on Silas Grant.
Standing by his car, Silas noticed their gazes and gave them a smiling nod in greeting.
Flustered, the girls nodded and waved back before quickly scurrying away.
Mia Grant walked down the steps and stopped in front of the man.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just passing by and wanted to have dinner with you."
He reached out and naturally took the textbooks from her arms.
Mia Grant stood rooted to the spot, her gaze openly sweeping over him.
