It took Bennett a moment to realize she was talking about the night of the banquet, when he had played "Dream Wedding."
He let out a soft laugh, reached out, and pulled her onto his lap, his arms wrapping securely around her waist.
"Silly girl, I was playing it for you that night," Bennett murmured, his lips brushing against her cheek, his warm breath tickling her ear. His hands returned to the keyboard, and he resumed the melody.
Yvonne's cheeks flushed, whether from her warm bath or something else, she couldn't tell. She let her arms snake softly around his neck and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth.
"There you go again," Bennett murmured with a smile, turning his head to capture her lips in a deep kiss.
The beautiful, romantic piano music mingled with their passionate kiss, creating a moment of pure, heartfelt romance.
However, the idyllic scene was shattered by the sound of the front door opening.
Helen, the housekeeper, was respectfully escorting Emma Thompson into the apartment.
Emma had been on her way to the Thompson manor when she passed by Cherry Bay and saw the lights on in Bennett's apartment. She decided to stop in, thinking she could travel with her son, since Christmas was the next day.
Helen, who was supposed to be on holiday with her son's family, had decided to drop off some local delicacies her son had brought back from a business trip.
Emma wouldn't have been able to get in on her own, but she had coincidentally run into Helen downstairs. They came up in the elevator together, and Helen unlocked the door.
They walked in to the sight of Bennett holding Yvonne, the two of them kissing at the piano.
Yvonne heard the door and looked up, her eyes meeting Helen's and Emma's.
Helen averted her gaze in embarrassment, a silent apology in her posture.
