“I don’t know if it’s just me or you seem glowing today, my dear. Did something good happen?” James asked that morning over breakfast.

“No, it’s nothing. I guess I am just feeling a little more excited than usual. My weekend is booked. On Saturday I will be going to Tristan’s violin concert and on Sunday I will be watching Zain’s fighting championship. I can’t wait to see these men again.” She admitted out loud.

“Oh, I didn’t think you would take so much interest in the brothers already. I can still remember when you told me you didn’t want to be arranged with any of them.” He teased her.

“I don’t. I still don’t until now but I realize the brothers aren’t as bad as I think they were, especially Zain. He may have some difficulties communicating himself because he has a really serious and intense personality but the more I know him, the more I realize that he had a soft spot somewhere behind that cold shell.” She explained.
