It's not like I try
A waiter passes by with hors d’oeuvres. Hilary grabs one nervously, only to realize too late that it’s a slippery piece of shrimp on toast. It wobbles and almost falls onto her dress.
Hilary Chin
Panicked whisper “Oh no, oh no, don’t you dare”
Before disaster strikes, Dwayne’s hand darts out, steadying hers. His fingers close over hers, warm and firm.
Dwayne Haskins
controlled by voice “Careful.”
Hilary Chin
Wide-eyed “Th-thank you. That could’ve been embarrassing.”
Dwayne Haskins
Leans closer, voice like velvet “You seem to attract chaos.”
Hilary Chin
Pouts softly “It’s not like I try.”
Dwayne Haskins
His eyes lingering on hers for a beat too long “No. But somehow, it suits you.”
Her heart skips. She quickly looks away, but his hand lingers a second longer before he lets go. The air between them feels charged.
Just then, Mr. Grayson chuckles loudly, breaking the moment.
Mr. Grayson
“Dwayne, are you training your assistant for high society now?”
Hilary Chin
Flustered “N-no, I—”
Dwayne Haskins
Cuts in smoothly “Hilary adapts quickly. She doesn’t need training.”
Everyone at the table looks surprised at the rare praise. Hilary bites her lip, fighting a shy smile.
