“What can I do for you, gorgeous?”

The girl blushed. “We were hoping you’d play some more. You’re magnificent.”

Cailyn raised her brows. The nerve of that girl.

Connor nodded, glancing at the cat-shaped clock on the wall above Cailyn’s head. His eyes lingered on hers, making her hold her breath before he turned away.

“Aye. I can play a few more songs.” He looked at Tessa and Cailyn. “You’ll excuse me, ladies?”

“Of course,” Cailyn said, nodding. She let out a long breath as she picked up her coffee and looked away.

She couldn’t stand it when he looked at her. It was as if he could see into her soul.

“Sure,” Tessa said. “You didn’t tell us who you were here to do business with. We might know them.”

“Oh, yes,” he said, standing. “An old friend. Ivan Alexander.”

Cailyn’s head snapped in his direction. She could barely breathe when their eyes locked.

There was no denying who he was. Her suspicions were correct.

Connor was the man from her dream.

It’s not possible, she thought.

“How do you know Ivan?” Tessa looked surprised. “That’s Cailyn’s older brother.”

He grinned, giving Cailyn a knowing look. “I know.”

Cailyn swallowed.

Tessa sipped from her coffee, her eyes going from Cailyn to Connor. “Well, what a coincidence that we ran into you then.”

Grinning, Connor pulled his guitar strap over his head. “Indeed.”
