Chapter 10

Immediately after the phone call to Evangeline, I planned ideas for our ‘date’. If I wanted her to remember me, I needed to do something different from the obvious. She was a rich and beautiful girl, so I knew men would try to please her by splashing out all their money to impress her. To me, she didn’t seem the type to enjoy that. Considering she was shy and didn’t wave around the “I’m a Montgomery” flag backed up my theory. I mean, I could’ve always taken her to an exclusive restaurant, but she was probably used to it all. No, I needed something unique.

Suddenly, Rose walked past carrying a few sculptures which belonged in the library, and an idea popped into my head. “Rosie!” I called out, rushing after her.

“Yes, Mr. Fox?”

I fell in step with her and followed her toward the library. “What are you doing today?”

“Tidying up after my messy employer?” she replied with a hint of sarcasm, to which I shook my head. I wasn’t a messy person; she knew that and would often mock me by saying I was.

“Oh, Rosie, if only you weren’t married.”

“And didn’t have sons the same age as you?”

I grinned. “You got it. We’d be a match made in Heaven otherwise.”

“No offense, Mr. Fox, but you’re not my type.”

“What are you talking about? I’m everybody’s type.” I mustered a faux shocked face just as we turned into the library.

Rose stopped and turned to face me. “I like my men rounder, balder and—how do I say this—committed to me and only me.” There was a grin on her face which made me roll my eyes. There was nothing I could reply to that, nothing Rose wouldn’t pick up on that was a lie. She knew me all too well. “So, this girl, what are you planning for her? And what do you need me to do?”

My eyes widened. How did she know?

“Don’t look so surprised. I knew something was up the moment you came in asking me questions about my Harry.”

“Oh.”

“And you’ve been acting rather peculiar all morning.”

I had to admit I felt my cheeks blush, something I wasn’t used to but had been doing often since a certain first encounter.

After getting past the odd feeling, Rose and I went through the plans for the evening. I was going to make the night impossible for Evangeline to hate.
