When they arrived at his house which was literally 5 minutes away from hers, she was amazed. His house was huge, it was a mansion.

She stretched her legs on the backseat, leaned her head against the door. Now her head felt heavy, and under the night sky, the dim light of the streetlamp, her blurry eyesight can make out the perfect silhouette of TJ Shanley on the driver's seat. The roof of the car was down, she could see the subtle draft gently blowing Theo's hair. He turned to check on her. Sharp nose. Perfect shape lips. A jawline to die for. Dreamy green eyes.
