Alex hesitated, torn between the desire to approach her and the responsibilities of the evening. Yet, he couldn't deny the pull that urged him forward.
Finally, he excused himself from a conversation and made his way toward her, his heart pounding in anticipation. As he approached, she looked up, and their eyes locked-an electric current passing between them.
"Emma, right?" he said, a half-smile tugging at his lips.
She returned his smile, her eyes playful. "Mr. Knight? The man with the mysterious painting craving."
He chuckled, his gaze still fixed on her. "Guilty as charged. I couldn't get that painting out of my mind."
She arched an eyebrow, her voice teasing. "What a shame. You must really have wanted it."
His gaze dipped, tracing the lines of her body in that elegant dress. "Believe me, it wasn't just the painting."
