I laughed.
“Yes, but I wasn’t kidding. I did kind of have fun.” I glanced up at him. “Thanks for coming along. I know this wasn’t what you had in mind for a date.”
“I got to spend it with you,” he told me serenely. “That’s all that matters.”
My stomach gurgled rudely.
“Now, let’s feed you before you decide to eat me.” He made a face, and I laughed.
“I’m notthathungry.”
“Yet,” he teased. He took charge of the dress and got it hung neatly in the back. I’d just spent a fortune on a dress, and I was strangely okay with it.
Whew.
“Food,” Coop nudged me.
Yep. Definitely food.
You Went There
Archie: Any word from him?
Jake: No.
Coop: Zip. Just got back.
Archie: Ran late.
Coop: Lots and lots of dresses.
Jake: She looked good. How
is she feeling?
Archie:She looked awesome. She got the red,
right?
Coop:Yes to the red. Exhausted.
Grabbed food, then home.
Jake: Nothing fun?
Coop: She was dead on her feet.
Work tomorrow. Her mom wasn’t there.
Archie: Good.
Jake: I’ll swing by Bubba’s tomorrow.
Coop: You went after him earlier.
No luck at all?
Jake: He didn’t want to talk.
