Lifting her foot, she examined the bright pink slipper. “These are my favorite pair too. And here I thought glitter was considered formal wear.”

“So you're going to change?”

Sometimes money wasn't half bad, she caught herself thinking. Caleb ran past her and opened the passenger door. She paused, eyebrow inching up.

“A gentleman,” she said.

He dropped his gaze. Was that pink on the tips of his ears? Her eyes brightened. Oh, he was hiding a blush. She made a mental note to make it a point to unsettle him whenever she got a chance.

Assuming she would get another chance.

“My mother always said it's a man's duty to make a woman happy,” he said, locking gazes with her again.

“And you think opening doors will do that?”

“Just get in.” There was that equally sexy frown she was growing fond of.

“My, you're pushy.” She blew him a kiss before taking a seat. And just as he pushed the door closed, she added, “I like it.”
