This date. You’re really giving me a chance, right? I need for you to be open to things and not just playing along because I said I would keep chasing. I need a real chance because you’ve got me all messed up inside.”
Staring up at Cooper, I held his gaze and forced a smile. “I like you a lot. I don’t think we make any sense, but I wish we did.”
“We could though,” he said, taking my hand. “You’re scared of all the surface stuff. The tats and the way I mouth off, but that’s surface. On the inside, I know you’re special. It’s why I need a chance.”
“I’m going on the date.”
Sighing, Cooper frowned. “Because I said I would basically stalk you until you said yes.”
“I don’t expect anything from tonight. Good or bad. I just want to see what happens. I’m giving you a chance.
