This was the first tshe had broken that rule, the first tshe spent so much with the sole purpose of
making someone smile. Though uncertain of Nate's reaction, the sight before her was undeniably memorable. It

Turning, she barely had tto read his expression before he gently cupped her chin and delivered a passionate
kiss.
Caught off guard, Corrine’s grip loosened, and the heart-shaped balloon slipped from her fingers, drifting into the

His words were uncertain, but the sentiment was clear. It was the kind of gesture that would flatter any woman,
providing a cherished story to tell for years to come.
Men are often thought to be more rational than women, and as the youngest head of the Hopkins family, Nate
had experienced all the splendor the world had to offer.
Convinced that nothing could sway his emotions, Nate found himself caught off guard by the depth of what
Corrine had done. Tonight, her surprise had reached deep into the softest part of his heart, stirring something he
couldn't quite conceal.
“You've prepared such an incredible surprise,” he said, his voice softening. “What should | do in return?”
