Kathrine ordered food for both of them, along with wine—anything to soften the awkwardness lingering between them.
Deep down, she wanted to ask Ethan about Anna. But she knew it wasn't the right moment.
"I know you're eager to ask something." Ethan's voice finally broke the silence as he took a sip of wine.

Kathrine smiled, pushing aside the awkwardness, and met his gaze. "You're not only smart, but observant too," she admitted, though she hated being caught so easily.
Ethan simply waited.
"I'm just curious why you agreed to a blind date when you seem the least interested," she asked, abandoning the earlier question she'd been considering.
