Blushing, Alexis bit her lower lip, admitting, “Tonight, I'll let you know."

Smirking, Leonel countered, "Nights aren't for such talk. They're for romance and other delightful pursuits."

Alexis crinkled her nose, maintaining her insistence that she would discuss matters with him later in the night.

Leonel escorted her downstairs, opened the door courteously, and took care of her briefcase. As she settled into the car, he leaned down to give her a kiss. In a soft and tender tone, he uttered, "Alexis, if you agree, you'll have a perfect husband."

Alexis, securing her seat belt, retorted with a grin, "You must have quite the audacity to say something like that."
