Chapter Ten

Mark

Much to my surprise, Ariana stopped by my office to take me to lunch on Tuesday. I was pleased as fuck to hear that her sister had been happy about us dating—even more so when she mentioned that Alessia was going to ensure that Alec was also cool with it.

I still planned to have a talk with him about it, too. It was the right thing to do since he was my friend, and I was dating his sister-in-law. But with Alessia’s support, I figured the conversation would go a hell of a lot more smoothly. It was even possible that no punches would need to be thrown, and I was all in favor of that. Not only had it been about a decade since the last time I was in a brawl, but fighting with a friend didn’t hold any appeal for me. I was happy to avoid it altogether.

My week just kept on getting better. We’d closed on a big deal Tuesday afternoon, without any unexpected hitches. Ariana met me for lunch again on Wednesday. I didn’t have to go into the office today, so I got to sleep in. And to top it all off, Alec was due home from his road trip late tonight, which meant I was going to have Ariana all to myself.

While she spent the day hanging out with her sister, I used a nice chunk of my time planning what we were going to do tonight. Alessia had insisted we go out on a dinner date since Ariana hadn’t backed down the last few days on spending most of her time—including her evenings—with her sister while Alec was out of town. Knowing I had to work at the nightclubs over the weekend, Alessia had threatened to push Ariana out the door if she refused to leave. But it wasn’t until Alessia mentioned wanting to do something special for her husband’s return that Ariana decided she wasn’t needed at their apartment tonight.

Or at least that’s what Ariana had told me this morning when she’d called to see if I had any plans for tonight. At the time, I hadn’t. But as I picked her up outside her sister’s apartment building, I sure as fuck did. And seeing the awe in her pretty green eyes as she twirled around in a circle when we reached our destination, every second it took to set those plans in motion paid off.

“Wow. This place is so amazing.”

I’d been in luck when I called the Garfield Park Conservatory this morning. They only allowed people to rent the whole place out on certain nights, and Thursdays were one of them. They’d balked a little at the short notice, but it hadn’t already been booked by someone else and I was willing to pay extra for the inconvenience.

“I know you’re having a hard time with the difference in weather between Chicago and Vegas.” She always shivered into her coat whenever we stepped outside, and she’d mentioned how cold it was here more than a few times.
