Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After…
Chapter 31 Same Last Name
Chandler’s deep, resonant voice broke through the quiet. “Are you awake?”
Meryl paused for a heartbeat, took a steadying breath, and walked over to open the door.
When she did, she was met with the striking face of the man standing before her.
Chandler was dressed sharply in a classic white shirt and black slacks, his bowtie adding an air of elegance that took. her breath away.
He looked like he had stepped right out of a glossy magazine.
Their eyes locked, and Chandler swallowed, his gaze lingering on Meryl’s red lips. “Come out for breakfast.”
Meryl instinctively lowered her gaze, thinking, “He seems completely unfazed.
So, he must not remember… our kiss last night?
True, how many people actually remember their drunken. escapades?”
A wave of relief washed over her as she followed Chandler
into the dining area.
The breakfast laid out was nothing fancy–a simple plate
of spaghetti with eggs–but somehow, even the way he ate seemed to elevate the meal to a fine dining experience.
She mused, “There’s no staff in the house, so he must’ve made this himself.
Here I am, sleeping on his turf, waking up later than him, and now he’s the one cooking for me. Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?”
“Um…” Meryl hesitated, looking up at him. “From now on,
breakfast is on me.”
At her words, Chandler laid down his fork as if he had
anticipated her next line.
“In our home, that’s not necessary.”
“Our home?”
Meryl’s heart skipped.
Those three words sent a shiver of warmth through her, like a
gentle breeze stirring the still waters of her thoughts.
She thought, “Could I really have a place to call home?”
“Eat up,” Chandler said, pushing the plate of meatballs toward her. His movement was casual yet confident. “I don’t want you to be too thin.”
Meryl bit her lip and nodded, still taken aback.
She was indeed too thin–standing at 5.6 feet, she barely weighed 100 pounds.
Once they finished eating, she instinctively started to clear the table, but Chandler gently caught her arm.
