I suspect I've truly lost my mind.
Here I am, late at night, asking Lorne out for drinks.
And without even a moment's thought, he replied instantly.
"Sure."
"Send me the address."
As if trying to hide his eagerness, he added, "I'm free anytime."
When he arrived at the bar and we sat face to face, I belatedly felt regret.
My palms were sweaty, completely damp.
When I finally met Lorne's gaze, I realized he was even more nervous than I was.
Hmm.
He probably hadn't noticed that he'd put on the wrong casual jacket. His inner layer was a gray shirt, but the outer jacket was a mismatched khaki color.
His hair wasn't fixed with gel now, falling naturally, which softened his stern features, making him look exceptionally gentle.
"Is something bothering you? Is that why you asked me out for drinks now?"
