Kate was still waiting patiently when I came out from the changing area. I took the seat beside her and brought my phone out.
"Do you have a set schedule?” I asked, curious what kind of a relationship they had. “Like, does Nolan expect you to be home at a certain time?"
Was she the type of wife who had dinner on the table by six o'clock every day? Was Nolan the one to cook? Or did they take turns?
I had no idea. Back when we'd been close, she hadn't seemed the type to spend hours in the kitchen. But she also hadn't seemed the type not to take on her husband's last name. So I probably didn't know her well at all.
Not anymore anyway.
"I can meet whenever you need. My schedule is wide open." She looked down, and I couldn't keep my gaze from going right to the big rock on her left hand. "Nolan is out of town a lot." She shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal. But there was something there that made me question it.
Was something off in their marriage?
I pursed my lips. That was none of my business. So instead of being nosy, I scrolled through the calendar app on my phone. And just like I thought, my entire morning and half of the afternoon were booked solid. "I can meet at three. Will that work?"
Kate glanced at her own phone. "Yes. Would you like to meet here at the studio?"
I grimaced. "I've been here all week. Would you mind meeting at my house?"
"Your house?"
"Yeah…unless that's weird for you. I mean, my personal assistant and housekeeper should be around, so it's not like we'll be all alone."
I kicked myself internally. Of course that would be weird. She was a married woman. Married women didn't go over to other men's houses unless their husbands were with them.
At least, the type of married woman I assumed Kate was wouldn't do something like that.
She did seem to relax at my mention of my assistant Byron being there though. So maybe I hadn't freaked her out too much.
Kate cleared her throat and typed something into her phone. "Your house will be fine. Dion said to meet wherever you needed."
"Great. I'll just text you my address and the security code to get in." I tapped on the screen a few times. "I'll see you tomorrow, Kate."
And then I left before she could ask me what everyone atFinding Your Soulmatehad been asking: why I'd gone on a dating show in the first place when I didn't want to get engaged.
