Hanna liked the feeling of his fingers on her skin, and and leaned towards him. She sighed. "I'm not good at — figuring out people's intentions," she said, her tone suddenly tired. "Or what pe...

Hanna hummed, tapped her finger against her wine glass, considered. She took a large sip of it. "Do you like me?" she asked. It was the only question that felt like it mattered in this moment, but i...

It wouldn't be the worst thing, for a rumor to spread about Hanna spending time with Mr. Don Juan Dempsey — it would have implied that she was desirable. She shrugged her shoulders at him. "I ...

She couldn't help it, despite herself — Hanna giggled at the image that Mr. Dempsey painted of the chaos he could cause. She took the champagne glass from him, and hid her mouth behind her fre...
