Riley smiled softly. "He's on a business trip. His schedule was set a long time ago and couldn't be changed."
"Ah, makes sense." Quinn thought about all the turmoil Riley and Sebastian had been through and sighed. "You two really have had a rough road. I guess this means you're officially together now?"
Thinking of Sebastian, Riley couldn't help but smile. "I hope so."
Quinn teased her, "Why do I smell the sickeningly sweet scent of romance?"
Riley nudged her playfully. "Stop making fun of me."
"Alright, alright." Quinn dropped the teasing tone and looked at her seriously. "I'm really happy for you. You found a man who cherishes you above everything else."
Remembering her conversation with Macy the day before, Riley asked, "Why do you think Sebastian likes me?"
Quinn reached out, tilted Riley's chin up, and winked. "Because you're gorgeous."
"Oh, shut up." Riley laughed, pushing Quinn's hand away. "I'm being serious."
Quinn thought about it for a second. "You should be asking him that, not me."
Riley had thought about it a lot the previous night but couldn't come up with an answer. She nodded. "Yeah, I'll ask him face-to-face when he gets back."
Quinn's eyes lit up with mischief. "Honestly, I'm more curious about when he first started having feelings for you. Was it before or after your divorce? If it was before..."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me
Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
