Tracey sighed audibly when he called her that, the sound sweeter than even her name on his lips. It was as if she was 18 again, there was nothing in the room but Gabriel - his eyes, his voice, and then... we're in public.
She nodded, pulling her hand band stiffly, "Of course." He had a girlfriend, what was she going? He was dating freaking Lonna Jacobs of all women - of course. She was being silly. Maybe she'd had too much to drink. Her cheeks flared red quickly. "I'd hate to..." she meant to say something along the lines of 'embarrassed you' or 'cause any problems' but it all died on her tongue when she looked at him again, just gazed at his face and the tingling in her hand where she'd touched him... It was too much. She took a long drink of her cocktail.
