Chapter Eleven

Emma's hands were still shaking when she pulled up in front of the grocery store. What in the world had she been thinking? She still couldn't believe she had invited Sam to have dinner with her. One minute she had been thinking logically and rationally, and the next, she'd let her stupid mouth ramble out that stupid invitation. Now she not only had to cook she also had to smile and be a gracious host for however long it took them to eat dinner.

“Why, why, why did I open my mouth?” Reaching into her purse, she took out her phone. She would call Lindsay. Lindsay would know what to do. She would help her figure out how to cancel tonight's dinner with Sam without looking like a total jerk.

Before she could press the little phone icon, something made her hesitate. Did she even want Lindsay to know about what had happened between her and Sam? In her mind, the conversation played out. “I dropped off some research at the One Stop, Sam kissed me. I met him at the lingerie shop where I signed a contract without reading it. Then I had to call Sam and find out what the contract had been about...”

Emma could easily imagine Lindsay's wide eyes, her dropped jaw, and the million and one questions that would inevitably follow. Lindsay Vale had a curious streak a mile wide and Emma knew she would not stop needling until Emma spilled every detail—even the bits where she would have to admit to being interested in Sam. No, she decided. Best to leave Lindsay out of it. But she mentally weighed the pros and cons of her invitation even after she got home with the ingredients she'd needed to make dinner.

Glancing around the bag she was carrying, Emma heeled the door shut behind her and bent to put her purse and keys on the table by the door. She hoped Sam's tastes weren't too refined because the only thing she could think of to cook for the two of them was a simple meal of steak au poivre with mustard sauce, baby potatoes, and brussel sprouts.

“Meow.”

“Hi, Chloe. Did you miss me?” Leaning sideways to put the bags on the table, Emma bent to scratch the spot on top of Chloe's head between her ears, and started to apologize for being late. “Sorry it took so long. After I stopped by the One Shot to pick up the contract from Sam, I had to go by the grocer for steak and veggies. Can you believe what I did? You'll never believe it. I asked Sam to come over here for dinner. With me. Genius, right?”

The cat twitched her tail and stared up at her in silence while Emma busied herself with emptying the bags and putting away food.

Finished, Emma propped her hands on her hips and blew a stray curl out of her eyes. “I don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking!” she corrected. “If I had been, then none of this dinner business would have been necessary.
