Slap

Jazmine Harrison looked away, abashed at what she had just said. She had been so lost in the moment that she didn't realize what had slipped from her tongue. She coughed and quickly added, "I'm still married. Don't get your hopes up."

Sebastian Crowne didn't say anything, but Jazmine could feel his happiness lingering in the air. She turned back to stare into the city, unsure of what to say next. Mentally, she slapped herself and resolved not to let herself slip like that again.

"The city looks even better from the terrace of the Sunset Square Apartments," she muttered.

"It might. But we'll have no way to know. The place is off-limits to the public. It's private property — part of the Crowne family estate."

"If you wish, I can take you there."

"You can?" Jazmine stared at him in surprise. In response, he smiled.
