Lily nodded, appreciating the simple gesture. She followed Cage into the kitchen, feeling a strange mix of excitement and nervousness. They had just started seeing each other, and there was so much she still didn't know about him.

Cage chuckled, glancing over his shoulder at her. "You know I'm a lawyer. Mostly corporate law, but I handle some pro bono cases too. It keeps me busy."

"Hmmmm—I see." Lily's eyes sparkled with mischief. "I bet you have all kinds of interesting cases."
