I had chosen this place on purpose—quiet, private, a world away from the one she was used to.
It was the kind of place where deals were made, where powerful men gathered.
I wanted her to see me in this setting, to understand that I wasn't just a man who wandered into her bookshop.
I was someone who could change her life, for better or worse.
When she approached, I could see the hesitation in her eyes, but she came anyway.
That was all I needed.
She was already mine.
"You're braver than I thought," I said, watching her closely. "Most people would've walked away."
She looked at me, her eyes wide but steady.
"I don't know why I'm here."
I smiled at that, leaning in just slightly. "But you came."
She didn't answer.
She didn't need to.
