Excerpt
"As Olivia finished preparing her dinner, she heard her phone beep. Her heart immediately swelled when she saw the picture Alexander had sent of Runner. He looked so happy, curled up in a ball on a little doggie bed, surrounded by all his new toys.
she texted him back.
Olivia: He looks so happy.
Alexander: He is. But he misses you... So do I.
Olivia giggled at Alexander's response.
Olivia: I miss you too. And Runner. Give him a big hug and kiss from me.
Alexander: I will. Do you have a big hug and kiss for me? ;-)
Alexander Burnham just used the winky sign! Olivia exclaimed in her head. She grinned from ear to ear, unable to hide her enthusiasm from her growing attraction to that man. She looked down at her cell, eager to continue flirting via text, and typed out a quick response.
Oliva: Maybe. You'll find out tomorrow.
Alexander: I'll wait with bated breath. Have a wonderful evening, Miss Adler.
Olivia: You as well, Mr. Burnham.
Alexander enjoyed their text flirting, so he sent one last text before heading to the gym for his evening workout.
Alexander: I'll see you in my dreams.
Alexander left his penthouse, wondering if Olivia could even know how true that line actually was. If Olivia really was the girl from Alexander's past, he had been seeing her in his dreams. "
