I slid into Wes’s car. “It’s your choice on what to do tonight. I owe you for being such a good sport at Comic-Con last weekend.”

Wes kept the car in park, a faraway glaze to his eyes. “What is there to do on a Friday night? I’m usually catching up with work.”

“Good question. I’m usually playing my Xbox. I mean,” I gave him a sly smile, “testing new games so I can give proper sales advice. Or watching a movie.”

“Gaming sounds fun, but I want to be active.”

His heated stare made me want to strip down in the car.

I grinned, a flush blooming on my cheeks. “Active is nice, but let’s try something with our clothes on for a few hours. If I need to go get changed, I will.”

His gaze landed on my leggings, which were sprinkled with words like boom, kapow, and bang. I’d paired them with a long, fluffy white sweater. My fancy outfit.

“No, you’re dressed perfectly for my idea.”

When he parked outside of a huge warehouse-style building, I read the sign and couldn’t possibly connect it with a date night. Other than it might be the best date night ever.

An indoor trampoline park.

He killed the engine and I knew he wasn’t joking. He turned toward me, light from the parking lot glinting off his impeccable hair and shadowing his blue eyes.

“I have a pair of sweats in my overnight bag.” He reached into the backseat to dig them out, wearing a half-smile, like his excitement was growing as much as mine.

“I’ve always wanted to go here but I never had anyone to go with.”

He paused briefly. “What about that good friend of yours?”

I laughed. “Sam? He would’ve loved it, but I think by the time I met him, he wasn’t in shape anymore. From the way he talked, it would’ve been something he and his son would’ve loved back in the day. Too bad…”

Whoa. I’d almost said too much. Sam Robson had passed, but it wasn’t my place to spread his personal business.

My Sam was waiting for me to finish my thought. “Too bad what?”

I opened my mouth to speak but stalled at the bleakness in his gaze. My heart sank. Sam had lost his father, too.

“Nothing. I just wish he could’ve healed his relationship with his son. I guess he passed on the business know-how, but personally, he’d felt those bridges were burned.”

“Why would he? What would make a father feel that?” Wes’s tone was neutral, but his brow was creased as if he couldn’t understand it. Neither could I.

I shrugged, growing uncomfortable with the topic. “He said after the divorce that his ex sent the boy away for school. Then he was gone for college. After that, well, he had no one to hand the reins of the company to, so that’s all their relationship became.”

His eye twitched. “I don’t think that’d stop a real dad from seeing his kid.”

“Perhaps he didn’t think he was a real dad.” That was the closest I would come to airing my dear friend’s business.
