He whispered, "I'm flattered."
Bonnie's heart softened at his words, turning tender and sore all at once. Hearing him say that only made her want to cherish him more.
Pressing her lips together, she promised quietly, "I'll be even better to you from now on."

She studied his expression, sensing the dismissive nonchalance behind it…
Her brows knitted as she muttered in dissatisfaction, "What, you don't believe I want to treat you well?"
Derek: "No."
He answered with clean finality.

She instantly threw herself into his arms, fingers twisting at the firm muscles beneath his shirt, threatening, "What did you just say?"
Derek lowered his gaze at her mock-fierce look, a laugh rumbling low in his chest. "See? I didn't even say anything yet, and you're already showing your true colors."
