A/N: Here's a teaser for Chapter 5 of Ribbons and Bows. I should have this posted sometime this weekend.

"Hey," Leah said as she rocked side to side. She stared at me, cautiously holding her hands behind her back. "I...um…was wondering if I left my sunglasses here."

I smirked at her. She was cute when she was trying to be elusive. "No, they're not here." I leaned against the doorjamb while smirking at her awkwardness.

"Oh, I guess I left them at work or something." She knotted her fingers and waited.

The hunger was shining in her eyes. She wanted to come in so bad, but she didn't want to overstep. It was amazing how much Leah had changed over the years. Had Sam chipped away at the fiery passion that burned in her over the years? The Leah I grew up would have just said what she wanted and taken it, but this one was cautious. When she was with me, I saw glimpses of that passion she used to have. She wouldn't let her walls down; instead she stepped from behind them for a while. With me, she didn't have to fit some mold that Sam created for her. She could just be Leah. It became my personal goal to get that Leah back.

She was fidgeting, probably debating whether to leave or not. I finally decided to put her out of her misery.

"Get in here," I commanded and pulled her inside.
