Dawn looked down at her arm and saw Ethan’s strong, defined fingers wrapped around hers. She felt the warmth passing between them.

Her cheeks were turning redder by the second.

She thought, I probably look like a ripened tomato right now.

“Dawn…

”

Ethan turned around and noticed her head almost hanging to the floor, her cheeks glowing a soft peachy pink.

Amusement sparked in him, and he leaned down too.

His voice was teasing and magnetic.

“Feeling shy?”

“No!”

Dawn’s reply was quick and urgent. Flustered and a little annoyed, she pulled her hand free. “I- I’m blushing because of Hannah! She taught me two dishes this afternoon, and I failed at both. Isn’t that a waste of ingredients? I’m embarrassed!”

After saying it, she felt even more awkward.

What is he thinking?

I’m shy?

Ethan probably thinks I’m crazy!

Seeing her frustrated face, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but he quickly hid it and spoke seriously, “Well, even though you didn’t succeed, you tried hard. You can take a short break, get your energy back, and try again later when you feel ready.”

Dawn fidgeted, looking at him. “You … don’t think I’m stupid, do you?”

“Stupid? Not at all.”

Ethan pulled over a chair and gestured for her to sit. “From what I know, you’re a really smart woman who’s always two steps ahead. I’m far behind.”

Dawn knew he was flattering her, yet a small smile appeared on her lips.

She murmured quietly, “You didn’t always say things like that before.”

People really do change over time.

When Ethan was younger, he said encouraging things, but he also teased me and challenged me relentlessly.

But what Dawn didn’t know was that teenagers often didn’t know how to show affection. Mischief and teasing were their usual ways to get attention.

And Ethan… was no exception.

Hannah, watching the two interact, squinted her eyes almost shut from smiling.

She went back to the kitchen and called Tara.

“Mrs. Jackson, I think Ethan isn’t lying. He should be able to bring Dawn to meet you soon. Look… these two are completely inseparable right now!”

Tara laughed loudly. “Hannah, I’m so glad to have you keeping an eye on things. But tell me, how are they inseparable?”

It wasn’t weird that she was curious.

Ethan had never cared about dating, and now he was actually with someone.

And Ethan was so sharp–tongued. Tara didn’t want him to upset Dawn.

Hannah glanced at the dining room and lowered her voice.

“It’s … I can’t really explain.”

How could she?

The clingy, sticky energy of young love made her heart race and cheeks burn.

Just thinking about it made Hannah blush. She whispered, “Anyway, it’s perfect. Don’t worry, Just give them some time and privacy.”

Tara trusted Hannah and finally relaxed a bit.

But she still said, “I don’t care.

“Since you’re there, keep an eye on them. Don’t let Ethan bully Dawn. He tricked her into being his wife–if he drives her away … he’ll probably end

he’ll probably end up forever alone!

“To speed things up, you can add a little fuel to the fire!”

After hanging up, Hannah couldn’t sleep.

She kept thinking about how to add a little spark for these two young people.

“I’ve got it!” Hannah suddenly sat up in bed, excited. “Young people need fire, right? Just light it up!”

With Ethan there, Dawn felt less nervous.

He’s right.

I just need to treat Uncle Lucas and his family like normal people–no need to tie myself down to blood ties.

Two days later, Dawn got a call from Lucas, asking when she would be free to meet.

His voice was careful and polite. “It’s okay if you’re busy, Dawn … I didn’t come back just for your mother’s inheritance. More importantly, I owe you an apology.

“Even if you blame me, I won’t be angry.

“I’ve done wrong, and I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you.”

Dawn listened quietly. Surprisingly, her heart didn’t stir at all. “I’m free the day after tomorrow, Saturday. Let’s meet then,” she said calmly.
