I can barely look Bella in the eyes after she returns, so I focus on Masie instead. "You have fun today, pretty girl?"

She coos and slobbers.

Stealing my heart like the thief she is.

"She was so good." Bella sets down a bunch of bags.

I lift my brows, whistling. "Do you have any money left?"

She swats my arm.

Our eyes meet.

My breath catches.

There's something new in her gaze.

A spark.

"Did you remember something?"

"No." She looks away. "Why do you ask?"

"You looked at me differently."

"Oh." Cheeks flame. "I bought you a bathrobe."
