“Please, don’t get me wrong,” I start.

“Did I fuck up?”

“What?”

“You’re about to tell me what I did wrong?”

“Not at all. I loved our day together,” I correct him. “It’s just that this felt like any other day with Beacon Aldridge.”

After leaving the corporate offices of Merkel Hotels, we went downtown where we spent the day visiting stores and enjoying each other’s company. He even prepared a picnic for me. We ate in the car since it’s too cold to go to a park.

His attention remains on the road, but his smile widens. “I told you we’ve been on friend dates.”

“Right,” I quip. “That’s a creative way to tell me that you don’t know how to date.”

He laughs, reaches for my hand, and kisses it. “Sure.”

To no one’s surprise, I fall asleep. It’s already dark when we reach Baker’s Creek.

“You’re the worst traveling companion,” he complains when I’m stretching.

“Why are we here?” I ask, noticing there are at least twenty cars parked in this huge garage. We’re at his family’s place. “I have a house.”

“We’re just leaving the car here,” he explains. “It makes sense since later I have to unload the cello in the studio. The guys already dropped your stuff at the rental. We’re walking there so you can get ready.”

“Ready for what?”

“You think this is it?”

“It’s not?”

“We have reservations ”—he licks his lips—“at The Lodge. We got the private dining room.”

“Upping up the game.”

He gives me a peck on the lips. “Are you challenging me, Grace?”

“So far I haven’t seen anything new.”

He takes my hand, feathers kisses on the inside of my wrist, and we walk away. I don’t understand what’s happening between us yet. I’m loving it, and it’s just day one.
