A Night Out in Hanoi
"Wow! You look amazing!" She smiled shyly. "Thank you. You look amazing too." "Thanks. I've never seen you wear your hair like that before. It suits you and so does the dress." "Thank you. I don't wear my hair like this because it's so thick. And I bought this dress because I liked the style …
In Hanoi
She felt ridiculous standing there holding a tall stalk with an unusual flower on it behind her back but it was part of the shoot. Why on earth was she here, modeling for a photo shoot which would appear in Bazaar? She wasn't a model. She knew nothing about modeling. This was Ryker's bright idea. …
