Kaci

Kaci texted one-handed while slipping on her tennis shoes. Going to breakfast with Drake and his parents. I’ll catch up with you later. Big plans today?

She couldn’t keep Sam at arm’s length. But as long as they’d been friends, if Kaci talked too much about Drake, Sam would know the truth. It wouldn’t matter that Kaci was trying to change the way she felt. It wasn’t working, but hurting Sam was the last thing Kaci wanted to do, so walking a tight rope became her priority.

Nothing. Doughnuts tomorrow? Or will Drake be stealing you all weekend? Sam made it hard to gauge if she was still angry.

Tomorrow morning is great. Kaci hit send and ran to answer the knock at the door. “Hey, Drake. Come on in.”

“Morning.” Drake let the door swing closed behind him. “You look nice.”

“Thanks. I was worried the sundress and tennies would be too casual, but clearly not.” She pointed at Drake’s shorts and muscular legs.

“After breakfast, Mom and Dad want to visit the Alamo and the Riverwalk.”

“Sounds fun.”

“I thought maybe we’d have dinner at the Pearl.” He touched her arm. “Are you really okay with this?”

“I am. Give me a second.” She ran back to the bedroom and grabbed her purse off the bed. It gave her a moment to collect her thoughts. Why did he have to be so . . . perfect? After a deep breath, she met him near the door. “I’m ready.”

He opened the door. “My parents really like you, by the way. You don’t have to be nervous about that.”

She hugged him. “Thank you for telling me.”

“I knew they would.” His hand lingered on her waist. “I think today will be fun.”

“The hard part is turning off my decorating brain. We’ve been ordering stuff and shopping almost every day since . . .”

“Since we met.” Drake wrapped his warm fingers around her hand. “But if we say that we’ve spent every day together since we met, it has a whole different ring to it.”

“But all true.” Laughing, she stepped behind him as they reached the stairs. “I’ll follow you down, so you can catch me if I fall.”

“That’s why I’m here.” He glanced back and winked.

She kept one hand on his back all the way down the stairs.

When he opened the passenger door, his mom waved. “We’re thrilled you can join us today. It’s a real treat to be able to spend time with you.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Davenport.” Guilt nudged Kaci. She didn’t want to deceive them.

“We can’t have you calling me Mrs. Davenport. You’re dating my son. It’s Maisie. And this is Trey.”

Drake patted her hand then left his fingers resting on top of hers. “I’m the fourth. Too many Drakes would’ve made life confusing. Although, he’s been Trey since long before I was even a thought.”

“Maisie and Trey. I’ll remember that.” She adjusted her seatbelt.
