I’m not sure why I’m so nervous. I’ve been a bartender for three years so I can pretty much make drinks in my sleep. But today, I changed clothes three times, finding precisely the right Triple J shirt—the slightly immodest one that, when combined with my Wonder Bra, usually brings in more tips than normal. I paired it with the perfect jeans, my favorite pair of worn jeans. The ones that make my butt look fabulous. The ones Jace spilled my latte on. He is coming here tonight to meet Tanner and my hands are shaking so badly that I’m afraid I’ll drop someone’s drink. Why do I feel like my dad is meeting my boyfriend for the first time?

I guess it’s because Tanner is the closest thing to family I have and Jace is the closest thing to a boyfriend. In my dreams, he is my boyfriend. In my dreams, he sweeps me off my feet, takes me to his loft and makes passionate love to me in front of that massive fireplace of his—underneath the painting that cements our bond. But my dreams are the only place I will allow that to happen. I know where his heart is. I know that if I allowed myself to have a physical relationship with him that it would wreck me. He isn’t the kind of man you can sleep with and get over. He is the kind of man you marry. He is the kind of man you compare all other men to. My fear is that I will never find one that measures up.

Tanner lifts an eyebrow at me when Shana returns a second drink to me that I had incorrectly made. “What?” I snap at him, leaning my back against the bar.

He holds his hands up in surrender. “Nothing. But you kind of seem on edge tonight. Are you really that nervous over me meeting him?”

“Yes. No. I don’t know.” I blow out a breath while I look at the ceiling. “It’s just that I haven’t seen him since we kissed last week and I don’t want it to be all weird when we see each other.”

Tanner gets a smirk on his face. “You mean all weird like if he were to be standing behind you right now overhearing everything that you just said?”

My eyes go wide and my face heats up as I look into the mirror behind the bar and see that Jace is sitting on a stool, directly behind me on the other side of the counter. Tanner gives me a supportive arm squeeze and turns me around to face Jace, which is a good thing because I think I’m too mortified to move my own legs.

Jace has a huge smile on his face as I introduce them. “Jace, this is my roommate, Tanner. Tanner, this is my, um . . . friend Jace.” They both crack up at my awkwardness, causing me to blush even more.

“Nice to finally meet you Jace,” Tanner says, shaking his hand.
