Nicklaus's phone rang out of his pant pocket. He took his phone out and stared at the screen for a while. He pinched the skin between his brows.

Her hands cupped his face. Unlike his usual hard orbs, his eyes were filled with fondness, and with a deep inhale, his eyes went down her lips. 

Jocelyn suddenly cleared her throat loudly, interrupting the enchanted couple lost in their world. "Umm, your phone," she pointed out when Nicklaus fixed his now-hard gaze on her.
