*Tallon*
I leaned over my desk looking at floor plans, but I couldn’t focus on them at all. The only thing I seemed to be able to think about these days was Natalia’s striking blue eyes and the way her silky brown hair perfectly framed them.
I sighed and rubbed my forehead, feeling like an idiot. She probably didn’t even remember me. We had exchanged numbers but I hadn’t heard from her in over a week. Although I wanted nothing more than to call her and ask her on a date, I also wanted her to take the lead.
It was clear from our conversation that she was impressively independent, and the last thing I wanted was to stifle that. But as the days drew on and I found myself unable to tear my mind away from thoughts of her, I decided it was time to contact her.
