Turning to glance at her, he remarked lightly, "You obviously have feelings for me too. Why don't you just accept me?"

Alexis chuckled.

"Do feelings automatically translate to marriage? I have feelings for the Labrador next door. Does that mean I should marry a dog?"

With that, she shot him a look as if he were a complete imbecile.

Alexis headed off to work, leaving an access card for Leonel on her way out.
