CHAPTER ELEVEN

TWO WEEKS LATER, Sydney’s irritation at being relegated to Thane’s or her aunt and uncle’s homes was beginning to wear on her. There were still no updates from the police and she wanted out, so Thane reluctantly agreed to dinner with Lucy and Zach. Of course, it had to be at a restaurant he approved of, meaning, it had to be one he had the star power to shut down for an evening.

Sydney didn’t much care what he had to do to give them a night out with her cousin, so she didn’t voice her opinion on the amount of money he was spending by shutting down a popular restaurant for an evening... well, she didn’t voice it much.

“Sid, are you ready?” Thane called from the hallway.

She stepped out of the bedroom and smiled. “I’m coming. Keep your pants on.”

“Two more weeks, love, and I’ll be ripping them off.”

Sydney giggled and kissed him quickly. “Promises, promises.”

Thane ushered her out of the apartment and down to the garage where Wallace waited with the car. Arriving at the back entrance of the restaurant, they were secreted in and showed to their table where Lucy and Zach already sat.

Lucy jumped up and made a run for Sydney. “You’re actually here!” she exclaimed as she hugged her. “I didn’t know if it would happen.”

Sydney chuckled. “Sorry it’s been so nuts.”

“I get it.” Lucy smiled and hugged Thane.

“I’m Zach.”

“Oh, sorry,” Lucy said with a laugh and faced him. “Yes, this is Zach.”

Zach was tall with dark hair and deep brown, almond-shaped eyes. To say he was gorgeous was an understatement. His Asian features and height gave him model good looks and the fact he obviously worked out, made him all that more attractive.

Careful, love.

Sydney smiled up at Thane. You’re still hotter, but stay out of my head, mister movie star.

Thane shook Zach’s hand and Sydney followed suit.

“Come and sit,” Zach said. “Apparently, we have the place to ourselves. Must be nice to be the biggest movie star on the planet.”

Thane chuckled, but for a second, it was a little awkward.

“Zach, love. Filter,” Lucy ordered.

Zach laughed. “Right, sorry. I tend to say what I’m thinking.”

Sydney sat across from Lucy while Thane sat across from Zach and, once the server took their drink orders, they studied the menu.

“So, Lucy tells me you’re from Cali,” Zach said. “Which part?”

“San Jose.”

“No shit?” he said. “Me too. East side.”

“Oh, wow, close. We lived in Willow Glen.”

He chuckled. “You were on the good side of the tracks.”

Sydney smiled. “Is there a bad side in this day and age? Everything costs a fortune.”

“That’s true. Did you go to Willow Glen?”

“No, Valley Christian.”

“Oh-hoh, private school. Nice.” He chuckled. “For me, it was Silver Creek.”

“That’s a good school,” Sydney said.

“Yeah, it was okay.”

“What made you come here?” Thane asked, laying his menu on his plate.

“I needed a change. Thought I could do a college exchange for a semester, but now that I’ve met this gorgeous woman”—he smiled at Lucy—“I’m thinking of making it a yearlong exchange.
