The place Donovan and his parents choose for dinner, Wang’s, is way off the beaten path. The sign outside advises that their eggrolls will have you addicted from the first bite. I’m rather dubious about that claim considering it’s dinnertime and there are only fifteen cars in the lot. The small brick structure looks nothing like any Chinese restaurant I’ve ever seen, but Mr. and Mrs. Beckett said I would love it here— and Donovan didn’t disagree—so I’m hoping the food will be decent.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Donovan says as he guides my car into a parking spot.

“Huh?”

Turning off the engine, he turns to me. “You’re thinking this doesn’t look like the type of place that has kick ass food.”

“I didn’t—”

“You didn’t have to, Shortstack. I know what you’re thinking because I had the same type of thoughts the first time my parents and I came here about five years ago when it opened. I was proven wrong—just like you’re about to be.”

“It’s really that good?”

He nods before he opens the door to get out of the car. “It is.”

I barely contain a goofy smile as he comes around and opens the passenger door for me. I make quick work of unbuckling my seatbelt before I step out of the car, brushing past him as I do. After he closes my door, the two of us head into the restaurant. The interior décor is bland and uninspiring but the food smells so good that I’m nearly salivating.

No sooner has the door closed behind us than a petite Asian woman appears. Her eyes bulge with surprise for a quick second when she spots us, but she quickly gets it under control. I wonder what that’s all about.

“Four menus, or are your parents not joining you tonight?”

“They should be here any second,” Donovan answers. He’s not warm and friendly to her, but he’s also not rude.

The woman nods as she shoots a curious look my way before she plucks four menus from the stand next to the door and gestures for us to follow. Now I get it. She’s surprised that he’s got someone with him. I hold back a smile as we walk to the table. I swear I can feel the heat of Donovan’s body as he falls into place behind me after motioning for me to walk ahead of him. I’m unsurprised when we arrive at the table and he pulls out a chair for me. He can be the biggest jerk in the world, but the manners he was raised with are still there. A feeling of disappointment hits me when he walks around the table and pulls out the seat across from me instead of the one at my side.

“If you think you’re sitting in that seat you’ve got another thing coming,” his dad says from behind me.

Donovan grimaces as he looks up at his dad. “I thought it’d be nice for Mom to sit next to Eden.”

Paul lets out a bark of laughter. “You know perfectly well that Mom and I like to sit next to each other.
