A hat fell from above, covering her head and hiding her eyes.
The hat he had worn, carrying his scent, now carried hers as well.
Lianne pulled the hat off. Through the light from the covered walkway's ceiling, her gaze met his.
Her features were beautiful and lively. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear, the corners tilted up slightly with a soft, faint smile. Her nose and lips were small and delicate on their own, but together they created a look that was both grand and exquisite.
They locked eyes under the bright, clear moon, and he could distinctly see the defensiveness and wariness in her gaze.
That night, she only said two words to him: "Excuse me." Then, she handed the hat back and ran off without a moment's hesitation.
Seth Sinclair had owned a residence in Grand Vista Manor for many years, but he had rarely visited. The only time he would return was when he had scheduled a meeting with Ethan Sinclair.
