sweetly at his mother as the woman grabs her hand.
     
    “How romantic, huh?” Her boss’s aunt says. “I bet you didn’t even realize you were soulmates, brought together by the universe.”
     
      Robin let’s out a nervous giggle, unsure of herself as she quickly looks over to her boss.
     
    “Yeah, I guess.” She says, nodding her head.
     
    “I bet it was love at first sight.” Kurt’s mother says as she picks up her glass of wine, swirling the deep red juice under her nose.
     
    “Oh, I don’t know about that…” Robin says, her voice trailing off. “One thing lead to another, I guess, right?” She asks, looking over to her boss, desperate for an escape from the conversation.
     
    “Mmm.” He says as he swallows the food he was chewing. “No, no way.”
     
      He shakes his head as he rests his elbow against the table, a coy smile upturning his lips as he turns towards her.
     
    “Definitely love at first sight.” He says, resting his cheek against his hand.
     
    “Oh, you think so?” Robin asks, her eyes widening as Kurtis rests his hand on her shoulder.
     
    “Absolutely.” He says, nodding. “The only reason I hired you.”
     
    “Oh, so it wasn’t because of my impeccable resume?” Robin asks, her eyes narrowing as he gently massages her shoulder.
     
    “Not at all.” He says, his voice low.
     
      Robin’s cheeks flush as the table hushes, nearly silent as he brushes the back of his finger against her cheek.
     
    “It was these blue eyes.” He says, brushing his finger up before hooking her hair behind her ears. “And the way your hair just does whatever it wants.”
     
      He smirks as he reaches under her chin before leaning forward.
     
      Robin’s heart flutters in her chest as her boss presses his lips against hers in front of everyone, his tongue gently brushing over her bottom lip as her jaw begins to slack
     
      She gasps as he pulls away, her face fire red as she brings her shaking fingers up to her lips.
     
    “No, it was definitely love at first sight.” He says, grabbing his fork before puncturing one of the potatoes and bringing it up to his mouth. “For me, anyway.”
     
    “Aww.” His aunt sighs, bringing her hand up to her chest to rest over her heart as everyone goes back to finishing their meal.
     
      Robin reaches back for her fork, letting out a shaking breath to calm her trembling fingers as the heat from her face makes her heart pound even harder in her chest.
     
      She glances over at Kurtis, watching him laugh out of the corners of her eyes as he talks with his uncle.
     
      Who would have thought a kiss from a jerk like him would be so tender?

      Robin gazes out the large glass walls of the resort’s front lobby, the sun long set as she wraps her sweater around herself before crossing her arms over her chest.
     
      She sighs to herself , finally getting a few moments of peace and quiet after everyone said goodnight and went off to their rooms for the night.
     
    “Are we ready?” Her boss asks her, resting his hand against her back as he walks up behind her. “All checked in.”
     
    “Just a second.” She says.
     
    “Pretty isn’t it?” He asks, standing beside her, looking out at the high tide. “Like it’s not even a real place.”
     
      She nods her head, biting her bottom lip gently as she turns around.
     
    “Come on.” He says, looking down at her. “It’s late.”
     
      She follows her boss to the elevator, stepping inside of it and standing beside him as they ride it up to the top floor.
     
    “It’s only a one bedroom penthouse suite, you know, for appearances.” He says, lightly scratching the tip of his nose as they walk down the long hallway to their room. “But you can have the bedroom, I’ll take the living room and crash on the couch.”
     
    “The living room?” She asks, scrunching up her face in confusion. “In a hotel room?”
