You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow

Clarissa had wanted to turn him down, but her voice had left her when her eyes met Matthew’s sharp ones.

Ellie, on the other hand, was clapping with joy.

“That’s great, Uncle Matt. It is decided then.”

Instinct told Clarissa that there was something dangerous about his gaze when he quirked his lips.

She mustered her courage, wanting to reject his offer again, when his phone rang.

Matthew rose to his feet, then left for work after answering the call.

With the conversation finally ended, Clarissa went completely limp as she slumped against Ellie on the couch. “Why did you say that? Do you hate me so much?”

Ellie laughed out loud. “Look at you, getting all shy. My uncle is your uncle. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’ll just get him a little something in return once you find yourself a man.”

Clarissa stood up; her eyes rounded. “Is that even the point?”

“Then what is it?”

The point is, how could you get him to introduce me to a man after he saw me in only a bath towel and what I did to him when I was drugged?

Nevertheless, Clarissa kept those thoughts to herself. It wasn’t something to be proud of.
