FOURTEEN

Trying to find street parking anywhere in the vicinity of the museum on a Saturday afternoon was insane.

As I fought the traffic, I remembered one of the key reasons why I no longer lived in Manhattan. I circled the block one more time and then pulled up to the curb in front of the museum.

I flipped on my hazards and turned in my seat to face Alex. “Let me drop you off here in front. I’ll go find a spot and meet you inside.”

“It’s okay. I’ll come with you.”

“It could take a while. And it might be far.”

Lips pressed together, Alex shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t mind walking. I can use the exercise.”

She didn’t need the exercise. She was in top shape as far as I could see—and I’d seen all of her so I knew. But I didn’t argue. “All righty, then. If you won’t let me be a gentleman, then I guess we’ll walk.”

“I guess we will.” She turned to look out the side window and the discussion was over.

Man, she could be stubborn. It didn’t make me like her any less but I did anticipate some animated debates between us in future since I had a bit of a hard headed streak myself.

“Just to let you know, if you were wearing those heels you had on last night there’d be no argument. You’d be getting out here and waiting for me inside.”

“Luckily, I don’t have on the heels from last night.”

“Pity.” I grinned as visions of her in them flashed through my mind. I saw Alex cock up a brow before I threw the vehicle into drive and glanced over my shoulder to check the traffic.

I finally gave up finding street parking and pulled into a public parking garage on 6th that could take oversized vehicles.

The attendant informed me of the hefty surcharge to park the aforementioned oversized vehicle and I surrendered my keys and my credit card to him.

I didn’t even like letting valets park my cars. I liked turning over control of my vehicle to a city parking attendant even less.

In fact, I hated it, but for lack of a better option, I did it anyway and watched my baby disappear up the narrow ramp accompanied by a squeal of tires.

Cringing, I did my best to pocket my concern over the Land Rover and turned my attention back to my date.

Walking in the city, crossing streets and navigating the crowds and tourists on the sidewalk, was a good excuse to take her hand in mine. I took advantage of the opportunity.

She glanced at me but didn’t pull away. I enjoyed the feel of walking hand-in-hand with Alex. The act had a distinct couple feel to it.

Since my parking escapade had taken so long, we didn’t arrive early, but we did arrive on time. The doors were closed to regular museum visitors, it closed to the public at five-thirty on Saturdays, but it wasn’t closed to us.

We entered and checked into the event under Alexandra Jones and Guest and were directed to the Collections Gallery by the volunteer.
