Harriet's POV
I couldn't resist the smile that was slowly pulling up my lips, the restaurant that sat before me was like a dream. No. It was a dream, and to make it even better, I had a brilliant man to share it with. Cain was smiling too, although I could see it wasn't for the same reasons, and his eyes glistened warmly as he pulled out a chair for me; who knew Cain Dingle was such a gentleman. He sat down a few moments after, whilst I stared into his brown eyes that melted like burning oak.
"This is so beautiful Cain," I spoke gently, smiling again, "Thank you"
He looked up from the menu that was laid before him, a small grin tugging the side of his mouth, "You deserve it Harriett." This earns a slight blush and I take his hand, giving it a warm squeeze.
Cains POV
I couldn't resist that smile, the one that sends a buzz of warmth into my stomach. Her hand squeezes mine, another wave of heat dancing over my skin; she was stunning tonight.
"Harriet, I have something to tell you," I say softly, the words floating in the air, mixing with her sweet perfume. Her smile doesn't falter, which at first surprised me, but soon reassured the words that I had yet to say.
"Anything Cain."
I give her hand a soft squeeze, as if to prepare her for the news. I look away from her, somehow unable to catch my voice. The conflict in my head was a mess, the last time I ever felt this way was with Moira. Forget Moira. I take a gulp, that traps the lump in my throat. How could the unpredictable, big bad wolf become tame?
And then I realise.
With a glance.
With her smile.
That Harriet Finch would be the reason.
"I love you Harriet."
