ever after thing, than I was.
    “I figured we could have a late lunch before your first date tonight.” Tessa insisted.
    “First date? I thought I wasn’t worthy enough to be let out my cage yet.” I smiled, raising an eyebrow.
    “You’re not the only one full of surprises , Landon. So, you game?” she smiled.
    “You’re on.” I replied.
    “Matchmaker my ass.” Tyler smiled, looking over to me.
    “Tyler, don’t you have work to do?” I insisted.
    “I guess I could leave you two alone.” He winked at me.
    “Quit it, and get out.” I insisted, jumping up from my desk and pushing him from the room.
    “Nice to meet you, Tessa!” He shouted before I shut my door.
    “So, that’s Tyler eh?” Tessa asked smiling as she folded her arms over her chest.
    “Yeah, I’m sorry about him. He’s just never met any girl I’ve dealt with.” I shrugged, a bit embarrassed.
    “Dealt with?” she asked, repeating me, and I realized I used the wrong choice of words.
    “Yeah, I don’t use the word date, because I don’t date. I’m not boyfriend material. I don’t do the whole romantic spew of affection, Ms. Winters.” I said clearly.
    “I’ve heard it all before, Landon. Underneath that hard shell is definitely a soft heart. I’ll find it somewhere.” She replied.
    “If you think so.” I shrugged. Little did she know, my heart was cold. I wasn’t one to let others in under any circumstances. “Shall we?”

    Landon pulled ou t my chair, and allowed me to sit, before he sat at the other side of the table. The place he picked was rather unconventional for a wealthy male of his caliber. I expected him to take us to some overly fancy restaurant that served things on a menu that I didn’t understand. Instead, he took us to his favorite family friendly eatery. The place had a great view of the mountains. I was falling in love with the scenery of this town, but I didn’t belong here.
    Where I lived, things were fast paced, and alive , all the time. It wasn’t small like this. Not that I was complaining. It was a place to settle down in, and raise a family. I was secretly happy to have this vacation away from my home. Even though I was technically working, I was going to find time to enjoy myself.
    “So far , so good.” I said to Landon, as he looked over to me.
    The guy was sex on legs, I wasn’t going to lie. He had the ability to make any girl’s heart race with just a look of his ocean blue eyes alone. Too bad there wasn’t much else after that. I was certain that it wasn’t because he lacked personality, because he didn’t. It was just the fact that he was so closed off. He wasn’t the inviting type, but when he did “let loose”; it was only what he wanted you to see. Landon Brooks was smart, arrogant, and handsome, but that was all I knew.
    I was determined to learn more. Underneath his arrogance was a heart as well. I could tell by last night. Landon’s charity meant a lot to him, and it was dedicated to terminally ill children. So, that showed me a lot, especially the fact that he was capable of caring about someone other than himself. But, I was certain of something. Landon Brooks, was trying hard to show he was a playboy, but I just didn’t know why, especially since he had hired me to find him love.
    “ Meaning?” Landon asked, raising a brow at me.
    “You’ve been a gentleman thus far. You’ve opened doors, pulled out chairs, and been polite. I hope you’ll do the same tonight, on your date.” I answered.
    “Contrary to your earlier beliefs, I am a nice guy, Ms. Winters.” He responded.
    “I know.” I said quietly, looking at the menu.
    “What’s my date look like?” Landon asked curiously.
    “So, looks do matter?” I asked jokingly.
    “Just tell me.” He smiled.
    “She’s a tall , strawberry blonde, that’s sweet. A country girl” I said curtly.
    “A blonde?” he asked, as if he were pondering the things I said.
    We ordered, and our food was brought out very
