Cillian

Any particular place you’d like to go tomorrow? And make it good. Wouldn’t want to embarrass myself when our grandkids ask where our first date was.

Dinara

You’re being quite presumptuous.

Cillian

There’s a difference between being presumptuous and being right.

Dinara

I can’t figure out if you’re crazy or charming.

Cillian

Whatever helps you agree to our date.

Dinara

I thought I didn’t have a choice.

Cillian

You don’t. I was just trying to be a gentleman. But I think you like it better when I tell you what to do. Isn’t that right, baby girl?

I know I’m right. I saw how her body reacted when I took control.

It takes her a few seconds to answer.

Dinara

Surprise me. Now tell me your name.

Cillian

Cillian Quinn. And yours?

There’s no chance in hell she’ll find anything about me online, so giving her my name doesn’t worry me at all.

Dinara

Dinara Matrovskaya.

That sounds Russian. Though as long as she’s not a Marinov, I don’t care. She could be just about anyone…except one of them.

Cillian

Pretty. Where should I pick you up?

Dinara

Landon Park, right by the entrance at 6. Don’t be late.

Cillian

Wouldn’t dream of it. See you then, a ghra.
