Transition fail

Ok, I am confused why is this wrong? I get a transition and return transition of .4s...

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
  transition-property: background;
  transition-duration: .4s;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Transitions</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <a class="button" href="#">Learn More</a>
</body>
</html>

You will need to put all the transition code in .button, not in the :hover. You can also save yourself a little time and do it all in one line: 

.button {
   background: #4682B4;
   transition: background .4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}

Isn't the result the same? If I put it in hover or in .button. The code worked when I viewed it in preview.
