Mitch picks me up at the curb and this time, we're not going to Skoochies. It's an unspoken consensus that Cas bounces there and it would be beyond awkward if I show up with my date.

I don't share, rattles in my brain uncomfortably again.

I shove it away, and take a covert sniff of my outfit; I decide I smell like I always do after a shift at Java Head: coffee laced with vanilla. I was a walking, talking latte.

Mitch greets me with a quick peck and shoulder squeeze, dragging me around to the passenger side where he opens the door with a flourish, swinging his dark bangs out of his eyes, the pale orbs revealed like a curtain opened, silver dollars shining down at me.

“What?” I laugh

He grins. “I'm taking you somewhere nice...”

“Oh?” I look down at my short skirt, black opaque stocking and heels, the straps twining around my ankles like slinking snakes.

Mitch's eyes travel my figure, when that light gaze reaches my face again I blush at his pleased scrutiny.

“You look perfect.”

I think of Cas instantly, telling me I was perfect in a soft moment of confidence. I cast my eyes down, willing myself into the moment with another man. It's more of an effort than I care to admit.

Mitch puts a gentle finger under my chin and our gazes lock. “What?”

I shake my head gently and say, “Nothing.”

He gives a sardonic tilt of his lips and says, “If you say so.”

“I do,” I say, slipping into the Camaro and shutting the heavy door behind me.

Mitch gets in the car and slides behind the wheel.

“Where are we going?”

He winks, “You'll see.”
