Olivia's POV
I felt the purr of Christopher's sports car engine fade as we pulled up to my apartment building.
"Well, this is me," I said, gesturing vaguely at the building. "Thanks again for... well, everything." I glanced at the mountain of shopping bags in the backseat, still in disbelief at the day's extravagance.
Christopher flashed his irresistible grin. "No need to thank me. It was my pleasure."
I reached for the door handle, ready to escape, when Christopher's voice stopped me.
"Let me help you with those bags. It's quite a haul."
"Oh, no, that's unnecessary," I protested. "I can manage."
"Nonsense," he insisted, already unbuckling his seatbelt. "I insist."
I hesitated, my hand still on the door handle. Christopher was already out of the car, his expensive shoes hitting the cracked pavement of my neighborhood. I cringed inwardly, imagining what he'd think of my tiny apartment.
