CHAPTER 16

My breath stilled in my lungs. The bouquet wasn’t overwhelming and had my favorite color of peach roses. Scar’s official question stunned me. I haven’t gone out on a date in years. But I guess that would be the next step, the way we’d agreed, wouldn’t it? It felt so rehearsed, and I wished I wasn’t so uptight about this whole dating thing and could just let go for a few hours. Yet inside my chest, I had that feeling of anticipation mixed with the giddiness of a teenage girl being asked out by the boy she has a crush on. As my gaze lifted and connected with his, I felt like I was floating somewhere on cloud nine.

So much for being mature.

“It wouldn’t be for a couple of days. Since you’re working on the weekend and I can’t get away from the club, I was thinking next Tuesday and Wednesday?”

Had he already checked my schedule at the hospital? And was this an overnight date?

“We’d be leaving the state, but that’s all I can say. I want this to be special.”

Wow! What happened to a simple dinner? My stomach flipped at the possible destinations for our getaway. Feeling like an eighteen-year-old all over again, I bit my lip. Maybe Scar hadn’t rehearsed this – he was just well prepared.

“Yes, that would work.” I reached for the flowers.

“Good. We’ll be leaving on Tuesday morning.”

My phone rang with an unknown number. Scar noticed the call display, and his brows scrunched up as I picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Julia? It’s Trish. Do you have a moment?”

I turned to Scar whispering, “It’s okay. It’s just a friend of mine.”

“I’ll see you for dinner, then? Main house. Six o’clock.”

“Sure,” I replied. Wait, have I just agreed to dinner at his parents’ house? It seemed each time I turned, Scar was spinning my world and he didn’t even know it. He blew me a kiss and closed the door behind him. As soon as Scar left, my attention was drawn back to Trish’s broken voice.

“Are you okay, Trish?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Where are you? What’s wrong?”

“I’m at a Starbucks by the hospital. I was meeting my fiancé to call it off, but he never showed up.” She tried to contain her sobs, and my heart broke for her. This girl was better off without him, but it probably didn’t change the fact that she’d been with this guy for a while. Feelings didn’t just disappear overnight. If he couldn’t even show up to see her, then he wasn’t worth it.

“Okay, I’m on my way.”

“Really?”

Of course! I owed her for thinking the worst when I first met her.

“Yes, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”

I hung up, grabbed my purse and phone, but as soon as I opened my door, I realized that I didn’t have a car. I turned around and knocked on the door beside mine where Scar was staying in the second unit. It opened underneath the weight of my pressed hand.

“Scar?”

There was no answer. I heard the shower running in the bathroom, so I removed my shoes and gently knocked on that door.
