“Let’s just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn’t like me.”

A chuckle left Caleb’s lips at her words. “No one here knows you,” he replied, his hand on the small of her back. It was the first time he had gone to one of these giant charity balls in a long time but taking Isobel seemed like the best idea. “Aside from my sister but we both know she likes you better than me so you have nothing to be worried about.” Caleb was not the type of guy to get worried about these things. Possibly because he was born into it. Even when he had been kicked out of tons of boarding schools he still showed up like he was not a disgrace to his family name. “Come on. Dance with me.” 

“Stay calm. It can probably smell fear.”

Taking Dakota with him out of the country while filming had been a great idea. She was loving being outside and at the same time she was making him more adventurous. Her idea of going for a hike before he started filming had turned into them being cornered by an animal Atlas simply couldn’t place. But it seemed like it could hurt them with a single movement. He was listening to her but with her words he just went wide-eyed. “Stay calm? I think this dude wants to eat us.”

“Everything I did was to protect YOU.”
