The sharp click of leather shoes on the floor echoed from the entrance, and Juniper instinctively turned her head. “Shanley’s here,” she said.
Luella, Jimmie, and Melvin all looked toward the door in unison.
“How do you know it’s him?” Luella asked, stepping closer to Juniper and peering at the empty doorway.
“A feeling,” Juniper replied, her hands in her pockets and her chin tilted up in a casual, lazy manner.
“A what?” Luella thought she must have misheard. Since when did Juniper develop psychic abilities?
Just as she said it, the glass door swung open, and a tall, imposing figure stepped inside. The man was dressed in a navy blue casual suit, the collar unbuttoned. The cool light cast sharp shadows on his handsome profile, and he exuded an aura of natural elegance and authority, like a god who was not to be approached or trifled with. He kept his head slightly lowered, his deep eyes calm until they found Juniper. In that instant, the coldness in them melted, replaced by a warmth that could rival a thousand stars, drawing you in.
Luella narrowed her eyes, studying Shanley from head to toe. She had only seen pictures before and thought he was decent enough. But seeing him in person… well, he certainly had the looks to charm a woman. No wonder Juniper had fallen for him.
Jimmie and Melvin’s eyes widened as they stared at Shanley, a thoughtful expression on their faces. The old man looked different today. Had he actually dressed up for this? He looked several years younger.
“Juniper,” Shanley said with a smile as he approached. But when his gaze fell on the “man” standing beside her, his smile froze and then vanished completely. So, this was Luella. He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed like a college student—vibrant, sunny, and handsome. Compared to him, Shanley suddenly felt his age. But… would Juniper really be interested in a boy like this?
