Dinner was amazing. We went to a swanky new place in Beverly Hills we’d been reading about for months. Anh didn’t think we could get in, but I pulled Connor’s trick with the maître d’: I pulled out $200 and mentioned that we’d meant to get reservations but forgot, and could they possibly find us a table?

It worked, although $200 in a bunch of twenties is a lot less impressive than two Benjamins.

And it made me feel sad when I thought about our evening together. But I quickly pushed those thoughts to the side.

“Lily, you shouldn’t have done that,” Anh gasped as we followed the maître d’ to our table.

“Hush,” I said. “Tonight I want to indulge and go crazy.”

And we did. $50 entrées, a $200 bottle of wine, and three different desserts that we shared.

I had her howling as I recounted what had happened with Bryce. After that we laughed and hugged and made toasts and talked about the future.

It took me a couple of glasses of wine, but finally I got up the courage to ask her.

“Did you mean what you said about quitting Exerton and coming to work with me?”

“Hell yeah,” she said and hiccupped. Anh was kind of a lightweight when it came to alcohol.

“No, I’m serious.”

“I know. And my answer is hell yeah, I’m serious, too.”

“It’s not going to be stable like your job at Exerton.”

“I know,” she said, and grinned naughtily. “I want to go to the beach in the middle of the day sometimes when there’s nothing to do.”

“That would be awesome.”

“Hell yeah it would,” she hiccupped, and drank a little more wine.

“Um… as far as money…”

“We’ll talk about that when we’re not drunk,” she said.

“Well, I wanted to make you partner,” I said. “Fifty-fifty.”

“HELL YEAH!” she whooped, then covered her mouth daintily and looked around the restaurant in embarrassment. Once she was sure no one was going to throw us out, she said, “Lily, I really, really appreciate that, but you don’t have to do that.”

I cocked my head. “Are you just being polite again?”

“A little,” she said with a mischievous smile. But then she grew somber. “But seriously, that’s… you worked hard for this…”

“I did last week, but otherwise I got it handed to me on a silver platter. Besides, we’ll be splitting the work fifty-fifty, too.”

“Oh, well, in that case, hell yeah – partner!” she said, and clinked my wine glass with hers.

“We should wait until the next job comes in,” I cautioned her. “And that could be a long, long time.”

She shrugged. “I’ll wait to quit till it does.”

As it turned out, she only had to wait until 10AM the next morning.
