"I'll speak to her when I get hand let you know the details," I replied, though the idea of spending the afternoon with Diana and my mother seemed far less appealing now. Still, I was determined to win her over-to show her that Alexander and I were a good match and that he was a good man.
With our goodbyes finished, we headed out to meet the car Alexander had arranged. It was going to be a long drive, and I could already tell Alexander intended to work from his phone.
I glanced at him as he settled in beside me, his attention already on the screen. I'd always been curious about what kept him so busy, but I'd never asked. It wasn't that I thought he'd keep it from me-I just wasn't confident I'd understand the details of his business dealings and didn't want to embarrass myself by asking questions that might seem obvious.

I sighed, setting my phone down on the seat beside me. "It's nothing worth discussing." His frown deepened. "What do you mean?" "She just wanted to make sure that everything was okay last night." Alexander's eyes widened slightly before narrowing in disbelief, and he scoffed. "Of course my word wasn't enough," he said, shaking his head.

If she continued with this behavior, then I would have no choice but to tell him. For now, it was a minor thing that could be ignored.
Silence settled between us after that. After a few moments, Alexander turned his attention back to his phone, focusing on whatever business demanded his time.
I did the same, pulling my phone back into my hands. The next few weeks were going to be incredibly busy. Visiting the farmland today was only the beginning.

Even if things between us didn't last, there was no denying that this connection-this moment in time-had changed my life.
