CHAPTER ELEVEN

Zack waited by Diana’s car for Gavin to arrive with his tow truck. Diana had agreed to go out with him tonight. He could feel a silly grin spread across his face that needed to be wiped away before Gavin arrived. Gavin would give him grief and never let him live it down. Poker night with the guys would be torture.

Ten minutes later Gavin arrived with his bright yellow tow truck. A person could see that thing coming from a mile away. “So, does she have you carrying her purse now, too?” Gavin asked him before he even got out of his truck.

“Just being a gentleman is all. Something you would know nothing about.”

“You got that right. The gentleman thing is overrated. It tells women they can walk all over you.”

Zack shook his head. “One day you are going to meet the one you will be happy to give your player card to.”

“No way. The woman doesn’t exist. I was born a player. I’ll die a player,” Gavin said.

Zack laughed. “I am going to make you eat those words on your wedding day.”

Or rather, the memory of their kiss stopped her, and the way it had made her feel complete and safe. Every man she had dated had lacked something. Now she knew what it was. None of them made her heart soar with a look or a touch the way Zack did.

With one last look in the mirror she rounded the corner and approached the staircase. At the bottom he was talking to Liz, who was introducing him to Logan. The two men were shaking hands when Zack noticed her. He froze on the spot, still holding onto Logan’s hand. Liz and Logan looked up at the same time. Logan smirked and pulled his hand out of Zack’s grip. Zack didn’t seem to notice. He just watched her as she came down the stairs. She silently thanked Liz for making her wear the little black dress. Liz had also done her hair. She had piled it on top of her head, leaving a few curls hanging.

When she was two steps from the bottom Zack reached his hand out to her, she placed hers in his. “Hi,” he said, raising her hand to his lips and brushed a kiss over her knuckles.

“Hi,” she said, suddenly shy with everyone looking at her. “Um.
