Caught in her thoughts, Corrine was gently brought back by Nate, who reached out and lifted her chin. “What's
on your mind?” he asked.
“Nothing much.” Corrine managed a slight smile and intertwined her fingers with his. “When are you heading
back?”
“It'll all hinge on how things go here,” Nate answered smoothly. After a moment, he casually added, “And you?”
A spark of understanding lit up Corrine’s eyes. Hinged on how things went here? Obviously, Nate was referring to
her. His departure depended on when she would leave.
Pretending to be unaware, she guided Nate back along the red carpet. “I'm not entirely sure yet. | might stay a
few days if nothing urgent comes up.”
Nate glanced at her with a sly smile. “Seems like you're looking forward to catching up with Leif, your old

eased somewhat, and his eyebrows rose in mild acknowledgment. “And after that?”

“And then...” Corrine extended her response teasingly, backing him against the wall and placing a hand on his
shoulder. “Then, | plan to devote squality tto my fiancé.”
She had anticipated a smile from Nate, but his expression remained unchanged. “You don’t seem too thrilled,”
she observed with a playful note in her voice.
Nate raised her hand to his lips and kissed it softly. “I might need to leave next week and be away for a while.”
Her smile waned slightly. “Where are you going?”
“Just a business trip,” Nate whispered as he embraced her, burying his head in the curve of her neck and
inhaling her delicate, refined fragrance.
He didn’t divulge any specifics about the destination, and Corrine chose not to probe further.
