Phoebe was busy trying to keep the peace between Simon and Alexandra, who were low-key competing for her attention, when she looked down and noticed the perfect piece of fish on her plate. Gideon had deboned it for her.When did he even do that? Were those flawless hands of his capable of something so delicate?Simon was just as shocked. He looked like he'd discovered a whole new world. "Damn, you're so domestic."Gideon shot him a look.Simon let out a dramatic whistle and whined, "I want one, too! I want it! I—"Gideon's gaze took on a warning edge. "Shut it."Then, he picked another piece of fish, carefully removed every last bone, and placed it on Phoebe's plate as everyone watched.Phoebe had yet to eat the first piece of fish, so he commanded, "Eat it in one bite."She did exactly that, like she was under a spell. She swallowed it after a few chews, chasing it down with a sip of broth. Only after it hit her stomach did she realize how hungry she actually was.And Ronald'

Gideon asked, "Anything else?""There are still plenty of good people in the world. Many guys could meet that first requirement, but not many actually deserve Phoebe."

She hesitantly said, "…Yeah.""Because of what happened last night."She tightened her grip on the steering wheel."I wanted to get back sooner," Gideon said. "But by the time we did, it was already late. I didn't want to bother you and was just planning to grab dinner. That's when I ran into you."He had been thinking about last night's incident all day.Phoebe squeezed the wheel even harder. She hadn't dwelled on it much, but he'd taken it seriously. This was what it felt like to have someone actually care.Her mind suddenly felt all jumbled. She started thinking about the two of them having to pretend to be a couple for the next two years, and even live together.If Gideon stayed distant and aloof—only interacting with her when they had to put on an act and otherwise keeping to himself—it prob
