The car finally came to a stop at the prime viewing spot, already swarming with people below. It was clear that this spot had to be reserved in advance, and their decision to watch the fireworks had been spur-of-the-moment. It seemed like Fitch had bought out the whole area, as there wasn't a soul around except for their quietly parked car.
He opened the car door just as the countdown outside began. Zoey was still nestled in his embrace, just a turn of her head away from the view outside. The cold night air seeped in, diluting the warmth inside the car. His hand gently rested on her back, patting lightly as if soothing a child.
The embarrassment that had just subsided came rushing back. She was about to sit up when he pressed her back down. “Just sit on my lap.”
Zoey's cheeks flushed again as she started to squirm, “No need.”
“Want to try again? You should have…”
Before he could finish, Zoey's hand covered his mouth. In the dim light, he saw her face flush with annoyance.
“Shut up, stop talking!”
A smirk played in his eyes as he licked her palm lightly. Zoey's eyes widened, wishing she could just throw her hand away.
“Fitch, you... you…”
You're being unreasonable, shameless.
She hid her hands behind her back, her heart racing. That strange sensation surged again. Fitch was truly flirting with her. Initially, it was subtle, but now he was pulling out all the stops. In the Greenfield social scene, he was incredibly popular. If he decided to use all his charms on a woman, none could escape.
Zoey felt a burning in her palm, as if something had burrowed into her skin. She had been looking forward to the fireworks, but as they started, her mind was a blur.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
