Jared picks up Kate when she becomes stranded after a disastrous date:

Kate shifted in her seat and wondered how much she should confess about her night with Sebastian. Her inebriated tongue may end up revealing too much to Jared and she could find herself admitting how she couldn’t stand to kiss Sebastian because she was falling for him.

Jared seemed to speculate her discomfort could be over some sort of impropriety on Sebastian’s part. She saw his muscles tense as he said, “Kate, please tell me I don’t have to turn this car around and murder this Sebastian kid.”

She shook her head. “No, it was fine. I guess we were kind of on a date. I just wasn’t comfortable with how much he had to drink and where he wanted to take things.” She gave him a dazzling smile before continuing with her explanation. “See, you saved me in more ways than one tonight. My mother is the queen of thank you notes. So, don’t be surprised to receive one from her that displays her appreciation for keeping her daughter’s body and chastity safeguarded.”

He gave her a long look and she began to guess at how terrible she appeared. She hadn’t checked out a mirror in a long time and Sebastian’s moves on her probably made her resemble someone who recently had a roll in the hay.

“I should get you home,” he said at last. He was pulled out of his reverie and began to drive out of the parking lot.

She sank back into the leather seat and relaxed into the moment. Riding in his personal car in the middle of the night seemed to heighten the intimacy she felt developing between them. She still felt a buzz from the alcohol and his closeness was doing strange things to her. Something was nagging at her and she questioned whether she should disclose anything to him. Her tongue felt loose and she allowed the words to spill out of her mouth. After letting out an exaggerated sigh, she whispered, “I had a vision about you.”

It was silent for a long moment. His voice didn’t reveal much as he inquired, “You did?”

  1. The main point is that aBlogtoWatch both hublot replica advocates for and attempts to present itself with full transparency – that funny little topic I mentioned earlier which omega replica the luxury industry is really not very comfortable with. On aBlogtoWatch, advertising is pretty transparent, and we make it clear what is and isn't advertising. And yet, people still replica watches sale sometimes make odd comments that illustrate a belief they have that someone is paying us to say something or to have some opinion. Frankly, aBlogtoWatch is not that easy. Seriously replica watches though, aBlogtoWatch really has no long-term gain by selling our voice. If that were to happen, perhaps we could make additional revenue in the short-term, but replica watches sale the long term play results in an audience that no longer trusts us.
