Paul emerged from her bathroom. 

The bathroom door was facing directly toward the coat rack, leaving the two of them no chance to avoid each other. Their gazes met instantly!

Paul’s mind went blank the moment he saw Miranda, as if a bomb had exploded in his brain! Miranda was dressed in a black tank top that hugged her figure, accentuating her perfect curves.

Miranda’s slender arms, defined cheekbones, and fair skin glowed in contrast against the dark fabric. She looked exactly like the woman in his dreams.. 

Miranda froze in place. She completely forgot to put on the T–shirt she held in her hands. Stunned, Miranda didn’t move an inch until she regained her senses. “Dr… Dr. Jefferson…”

As things turned out, the timing was indeed that unfortunate! 

Miranda quickly pulled on the T–shirt and explained, stuttering, “I thought you weren’t here, so I just…” 

This was so awkward! Miranda’s cheeks flushed red as she caught a glimpse of his back. “Dr. Jefferson, I’m dressed now. You can turn around.”
