Austyn cocked

m eyebrow. "Do you want something from me?

Her buttery words usually came with an agenda.

Kira rolled her eyes. 'Can't I just call you to check in

'so you don't want anything from me?

'No!

Austyn smiled. 'Olay, if you say 10,"

"Well, actually... Kira drawled. 'Since you brought it up, there is something I

"What is it?"

ing I want from you. Are you bany right now?

'I would like to invite you to dinner.' Kira eyed the huge spread in front of her. "Lover-ordered and I can't finish all the food by myself. Come quick if you don't want to miss the opportunity of having me pick up the tab Austyn could be stingy with his love but generous with his wallet.

He went beyond just covering Leland's medical bills, per their agreement.

He paid for Kira's food, clothing, books, and would have covered her school fees if she'd let him.

In contrast, the only thing Kira ever bought him was that Timex hand-wound watch, which had been sponsored by a loan from Gana.

Kira thought back to their year together and realised that she'd never bought dinner for him, even once.

When she wanted to call someone to share her food with, she'd thought of Giana first

It made her feel a little guilty.

"That's why you're calling?' Austyn sounded surprised.

'Yes'

She didn't want to admit that she was craving his company.

"It's a limited-time offer, though,' she said. "You have to decide now.!

"Right. I forgot how busy you are. The restaurant's too far from the office, away."

Austyn wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Okay. Anyway, I should let you get back to work. You probably have a million dollar contract to sign or something. Bye." She was about to end the call

Kira

"Yes"

Are you okay?

Her youre sounded nasal as if she'd just cried.

andon't sound fine. Your senind like you've been crying
