I shook my head. "It still gives me a headache if I look too long. Is something going on at the company?"
"No," Alexander replied, lowering his gaze for a fraction of a second before looking back at me. "Just rest for a few more days."
I looked around the restaurant. "This place has a nice atmosphere. The pianist plays beautifully… though I can't tell what piece it is."
"It's Kiss the Rain by Yiruma," he said.
I looked at him in surprise. "You know this?"
"I've heard it played before and remembered it."
The waiter brought over the desserts, steak, foie gras, and red wine, carefully pouring a glass for both of us. I had asked for something non-intoxicating because of the baby—I think Alexander assumed it was for my stomach, and didn't comment.
Alexander picked up his glass, and I noticed his fingers brushing mine for the briefest moment as he handed it to me. My heart fluttered, though he didn't meet my eyes.
