As soon as we arrived, I led her to the front of the line that had already formed in front of the club. “I’ve done some business with the owners here,” I explained to her over my shoulder.

“Which is code for…?”

The bouncer inclined his head to both of us before unclasping the red velvet rope to wave us in.

“For not waiting in line?” she answered her own question.

“Exactly.” I flashed her a wide grin.

We stepped into the crowded, noisy bar, and I felt my entire body tense by the way Laney was forced close to me—more than close. Definitely tits. Soft, warm, inviting. Too inviting. Fuck. It made no sense. We’d been close like that before. Hell, I’d seen her tits. Why, all of a sudden, could I feel myself swelling in my pants every time she just brushed against me? Her perfume filled my nostrils, and my whole body was on high alert to her every move.

I pushed my way to the bar and asked the bartender for shots. A moment later, I slid one of the small glasses into her hand, lifting my own in the air. “Here’s to you, Laney. My dearest friend who just so happens to be a genius and who’s going to cure cancer.”

“No pressure or anything.” Her cheeks rounded over a playful grin as she tilted her glass to mine. “Here’s to today, us, life, my mom…”

We clinked the shots together before throwing them back. The moment the burn slid down my throat, I steadied my gaze back on her. “Your mom would be so fucking proud of you right now. You’re doing everything you always swore you would. Not that anybody ever doubted you.”

“Especially not you.” Her wide green eyes met mine. They glistened with tears, but she was smiling from ear to ear. “Thanks, Oliver. Really.”

With our eyes locked, all the air seemed to be sucked right out of the room. In that moment, I felt like I might crash right into her—like there was no gravity keeping us apart anymore. I wanted to kiss her—no, I needed to kiss her, but instead, I found myself calling for another round of shots.

I settled us into a spot at the end of the bar and took a moment to adjust the chair. Laney’s hand brushed down the arm of my suit jacket as I helped her onto her seat. I had to sit the fuck down.

“How was work?” she asked with her sweet smile.

“The usual.” I shrugged. “How’s it been back at work? I feel like I haven’t heard you talk about it much.”

She blew a breath out of the corner of her mouth. “Good. It’s strange to have so much back to normal while all these other things are so different… Like staying with you. Sometimes I still want to head back toward my old apartment at the end of the day.”

“Any word from your apartment manager?”

“Just that the renovations are still underway. I’m sure you’ll be glad when I’m out of your hair and you can have your bachelor pad back,” she answered in a half-mocking tone.
