Gwen's face was filled with doubt when she asked this.
Luke could not help curling his lips into a smile as he met her nervous, darting gaze." What is there for me to overhear?"
Then, he shifted into a comfortable position as he leaned against the doorframe and gently tilted Gwen's chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Did you say something to Luna about me that you didn't want me to overhear?"
He was asking her this on purpose, but to Gwen, she thought this meant he had not heard anything at all.
She let out a sigh of relief. "Nothing; I was just talking to Luna about women's stuff and didn't want you to hear."
Luke curled his lips into a smirk and leaned forward to gently kiss her on the lips. "It's about time. You guys should bring Bonnie to the hall now."
Then, he hovered close to her ear and said in a low, tantalizing voice, "If you want to talk about anything private, you can tell it to me in bed tonight."
Gwen's entire body stiffened when she heard this, and a split second later, her cheeks flushed scarlet.
She shoved him away from her and said," Alright, alright."
Then, she darted back into the room and emerged again with Luna, wheeling Bonnie in her wedding dress.
As soon as she came out of the room, Luna caught sight of Luke standing at the door. Instantly, she remembered Kate and was reminded of how lenient Luke had been toward her.
At the thought of this, she rolled her eyes at Luke and proceeded to wheel Bonnie down the hall with Gwen.
Luke sighed as he stared at their retreating figures, then leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
