"Did you dream of climbing a wall with me?" Bennett continued.

“What ?"

Was Bennett telepathic?

How could he know what she had dreamt?

This man was unbelievable!

Claudia blinked in disbelief and poked his chest.

"Bennett?"

"Yes?"

His eyes glinted with amusement, waiting for her to continue.

"Are you a fox spirit?"

He burst out laughing.

"Why would I be a fox spirit?"

"You somehow knew what I dreamed about. You must be a fox spirit."

He raised an eyebrow at her.

“Why must I be a fox spirit?"

His question made her blush, and she couldn't meet his gaze. She stared nervously at the collar of his shirt.

"Well, you're quite seductive," she muttered.

Bennett's lips curled into a suggestive smile as he looked at her.

“How seductive am I?" he asked slowly.

“Well, that's not the point. You haven't answered my question."

As she looked into his smiling eyes, her face turned even redder.

He extended his hand and gently smoothed her hair.

“I don't make a habit of climbing walls. But you should already know whether I'm capable of it."

A sudden memory of the time they climbed over the cemetery wall together flooded Claudia's mind.
