Harley went home and informed her mother and sister that she was having dinner with the Baker's, which pleased her mother and amused her sister. Ignoring their smiles and knowing glances, she went to her room to rifle through the clothes that she had brought with her. There was nothing suitable for dinner with the family, so she ran to the mall and bought a simple little white knit sundress that was casual and comfortable.

Once she arrived back at the house she was in a panic to get ready because it was almost six. “Mom, if Matthew gets here before I'm ready, for God's sake, don't let Stella say anything embarrassing about us still being married,” she pleaded and headed to her room.

Stella poked her head in the door and asked with a knowing smile, “Matt's picking you up?”

“Yes.”

“Why didn't you tell us it was a date?”

“It's not a date,” she denied as she touched up her makeup.

“Uh, huh.”

Harley threw a hairbrush at her sister who laughed as she closed the door. This is ridiculous, she told herself as she raced into the bedroom to take her clothes off and pull the dress on over her head. You're getting all wound up, and for what? Dinner with the family. You've had dinner with them hundreds of times. Tonight is nothing special.

They'd probably eat outside and wind up being eaten alive by mosquitoes, she assured herself as she picked the brush up from the floor and ran it through her hair. The sound of the doorbell galvanized her into action and she began digging through the plastic that still covered everything looking for her other sandal. Dammit, where was that shoe?

“Your dates here,” Stella said as she stuck her head in the door.

“It's not a date.” Harley denied again as she pulled the shoe out from under the bed.

“If you say so,” her sister laughed and closed the door.

Harley walked into the living room and apologized, “Sorry it took so long, Matthew. I couldn't find my sandal.”

“It was worth the wait. I like the dress.” Matt complimented as his eyes roved appreciatively over her curves and the ample amount of flesh on display. Now this looked like something the old Harley would have worn. It was a hell of a lot more casual than what she'd had on the night before and hugged every glorious inch that his hands ached to touch.

“This old thing?” She derided and wished the floor would open up and swallow her when her sister reached over and pulled the price tag off.

“Y'all have a good time.” Stella said knowingly. “And don't do anything I wouldn't do.”

“I didn't realize there was anything you wouldn't do.” Harley shot back dryly.

“You know me so well,” her sister admitted with a saucy wink at Matt.

“She hasn't changed a bit since high school.” Matt laughed as he led Harley to the car and opened the door for her.

“Stella had a huge crush on you back then.” Harley commented.

Matthew and Stella had been in the same class and her sister had talked about him all the time.
