IT WAS NEARLY CLOSING time when Blackwell and Marcus rejoined the group. Daniella and Cutter were off somewhere chatting, which had to be a good sign since they’d been gone for two solid hours now. As for Alexa, she now was with Alex, Brock, Madison, and me—and she was glowing.

“What’s happened to you?” Blackwell said to Alexa as she approached us with Marcus at her side. “You look as if you’ve been turned into a furnace.”

“I’ve just had a wonderful night, that’s all,” she said.

“And why is that?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

“Well, whatever it is, I’m glad to hear it. I want you to be happy, my dear. Sometimes, I worry that you aren’t.”

“Tonight, I was.”

“Then perfect.” She hesitated for a moment before she said, “And I have to say that so was I. Marcus has been an excellent companion. I think we’d still be talking now if these horrid people weren’t about to close the doors on us.”

Marcus laughed when she said that, and then he concurred. “In fact, I know we would,” he said.

Oh, my God! They did make a connection! And he totally gets her sense of humor!

“Where is Daniella?” Blackwell asked. “And Cutter? This place has already taken to the bullhorns and given last call, so we should probably leave before they toss us out into the snow.”

“They actually took to one of the tables and have been hanging out together for a couple of hours,” I said as casually as I could. “Alexa, would you mind telling them that we’re about to go?”

“Not at all.”

When she walked away from us, Blackwell skewered me with her eyes. “Since when do those two ‘hang out’ for a couple of hours?”

“We’ll talk more about it later, OK? As in tomorrow morning. Not now.”

“You’re nothing short of a shrill of secrets,” she said.

“I am not. Right now isn’t the best time...because here they come. Hi, you two!” I said as Daniella and Cutter approached us with Alexa.

“What in the fresh hell is this?” Blackwell said beneath her breath to me.

If only so as not to embarrass them, I ignored her.

“They’ve given last call, so we should leave,” I said.

“Maine,” Daniella said. “If we were in Manhattan, we’d still have hours ahead of us. But I’ve had a great time,” she said. “Thanks for bringing all of us here, Alex and Jennifer. I appreciate it.”

“You’re perfectly welcome, Daniella,” Alex said.

“One thing,” Blackwell said. “Marcus is here on vacation alone. I hope that I haven’t stepped on anyone’s toes, but I’ve invited him to our little cocktail party tomorrow night for Christmas Eve. Is that OK?”

And when she said that, I felt my heart jump.

“Of course it is,” I said as calmly as I could. “We’d love to have you join us, Marcus. But just to warn you, it’s going to be a dressy affair. We’re also not going to have a formal dinner—that will happen on Christmas Day, which you certainly are invited to, as well. As for tomorrow night, we’re
