Chapter 72

• Chloe arrived at the restaurant in a stunning, floor-length gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. The deep burgundy color brought out the warmth in her skin, and her hair was styled in loose waves that cascaded down her back. Liam, for his part, was dressed in a sharp black suit, his hair expertly styled and his face clean-shaven.
• As they settled into their seats, Liam couldn't help but compliment Chloe on her appearance. "You look absolutely breathtaking," he said, his eyes sparkling. "I don't think I've ever seen anyone quite as beautiful as you."
• Chloe felt her cheeks flush as she thanked him, her heart beating a little faster. She had always been self-conscious about her appearance, but with Liam, she felt confident and radiant.
