"What in the world were you thinking, Joan?" Cole Asked as he kneeled down to level with Joan, drying her hair.
Joan was taken aback. He was treating her like a wet puppy. 'Or a girlfriend,' she thought.
For seconds, Joan found herself distracted by his athletic frame. She could not help but appreciate how well molded his abdomen was. She had never seen a man who had such a slender waist!
"Joan?" He asked again, quickly shifting her gaze to his small and manly face.
Yes, Cole had a slender face, but they were well-shaped, perfectly athletic looking, and it went well with his military haircut.
"Are you... gawking at me?" He asked. At that point, she awoke from her stupefied moment.
"What?! Gawking?! No! I'm - I'm just hurt." She slightly shook before telling, "I met up with the Hales e

"Wow! I'm so full. I never thought I could finish an entire bowl of Ramen!" Remarked Joan after practically drinking the soup from the bowl.Cole had shown her earlier the ways and means to drink from a large ramen bowl as if it were a glass. It was technically the most unladylike she had ever done, but Cole's encouragement allowed her to do it."What did I tell you? The best ramen in the city!" Exclaimed Cole."Touché!" Said Joan with a smile.Uncle Ben then came to their table, offering green tea. He said, "Here, to help with the feeling of being so full.""Thank you, um..."

He did not understand why he had to be called to the Belle's estate, but he came either way."What are you trying to do, boy," asked Joan's father before sipping on his coffee. "Are you playing Robinhood again?"Cole gulped at that. He cleared his throat and said, "I - I don't understand - ""Oh, come on! Don't think I did not know you were suspended at school for beating the boys who bullied Joan?" Said, Alexander."Or what about the time you took a snake bite for my daughter during the school camp?"

"Chris, do you love Shantal?" Joan asked without looking into Christopher's eyes.He had to admit it. The question stunned Christopher. He ended up loosening his tie while answering, "Love? I don't know, but I am enjoying her company. I'm - I'm taking that chance with her."When Joan went to Christopher's office and caught them having sex, she meant to confess her feelings to him. For some reason, she thought it would be a good chance; him being right in front of her.Yet, hearing him say that he could take the chance with Shantal seemingly tied her tongue altogether.Joan could not understand it. Rather, she could not accept it. She asked silently, 'Why take a chance with her and not with me?'When Joan did not answer, Christopher called her attention. He asked, "Joan?""Chris, what's wrong with me?" She finally spoke. A tear fell down her cheek when she added, "Surely by now you know how I felt about you since high school

From the grand estate of the Hales, Christopher had been staring at his windowpane. From his room was an insignificant view of where Joan's room was in the mansion. He thought, 'Her lights are still off. She hasn't come home.'Christopher looked down at his phone, showing the number of Joan. He had been thinking of calling her since he arrived. "Where are you, Joan?""You should have just said something!" He muttered to himself, thinking about their conversation back at Joan's office, but how could he? He was in an obvious relationship with Shantal Lin! Moreover, he had his reasons for not taking that chance with Joan Belle.It was already passed nine when he finally saw the lights in Joan's room turned on. Only then did he rest for the evening.Before he closed his eyes that night, Christopher asked himself, "Am I doing the right thing? I hope so. I don't ever want to regret it." Turning off his bedside lamp, he said, "I'm sorry, Joan. I real

"Oh, my God! Christopher is calling me," Joan said, widening her eyes as she looked at her phone. "I wonder why? He hasn't asked about me since he went to the office."She was settled in the front seat of Cole's car, gawking at the sight of her mobile."Let him call the second time around and then answer it," instructed Cole. He parked his car at the side of the road and said, "Whatever you do, don't say my name."Seeing Christopher call again, he repeated, "Go ahead and take the call!"With a frown, Joan answered the call reluctantly, "H - hello? Chris?""Um, Joan. Where are you at?" Christopher asked on the other line.Bewildered by his probing, she answered, "Just had dinner with a - " She stopped herself, seeing Cole's eyes widening and giving her instructions."Date.

How are you doing today?""Boy, do you still remember our agreement?" Alexander asked with his voice raised."Ah, yes, Mr. Belle. Rest assured, I am taking care of Joan very well. No need to get worried," Cole answered before taking a deep breath."Dad, relax, please," pleaded Joan before she hooked her arms to both Cole and her father. She looked at the Hales and another relative of Christopher before revealing, "Dad and Cole have become good friends."Her words shocked everyone, especially Christopher. Did Joan imply that Cole was an acceptable future son-in-law to the Belles? They all simultaneously thought the same while Christopher was still overwhelmed to learn that it was Cole who Joan had been spending time with these past few weeks.Meredith, on the other hand, was hurt by the s
