Chapter Nine

I stare at the clock, sitting on my couch. It’s too early to call Isaac—he’s still in class, so I pick up the phone and text Kinsey.

You awake? I write.

About to go into work. What are you doing up this early?

Stressing.

My phone rings immediately.

“Hi,” I say. “Porter and Zoey invited me to dinner tonight.”

“Okay…” Kinsey replies, wind blowing on the phone line so I know she’s walking to the shop. “And why is that stressing you out?”

“They want me to bring Isaac,” I say, leaning my head back on the couch. Kinsey is silent for a second.

“Are you going to ask him?” she inquires.

“I guess,” I say. “I mean, I should, right?”

“You know my opinion on this,” she starts, “but if things on changing on your end, then I think you need to tell me.”

“Isaac invited me to his sister’s wedding,” I add. “And I agreed to go.”

“Holy shit,” she says. “You really are in love with him. What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know,” I say. “Talk me out of it.”

“Nope,” she says, and I hear the jingle of her shop door. “If this was a fling, I absolutely would, but Phoebe, you realize you’ve never said you loved anybody? This is huge.”

“You don’t think I’m making a mistake getting involved with him?” I ask.

“Uh… not anymore. You may have jumped into bed with him, but you can handle that. This is something else, and girl, you deserve it. Is he too sweet?”

“He’s a fucking dreamboat,” I say, making her laugh. “He got take-out from Le Che and we ate it in the backseat of his Range Rover.”

“He has a Range Rover?”

“Yep. And then I slept at his place last night again.”

“Again? Okay,” she says. “Can I come to this dinner? I need to meet this guy.”

“No way,” I tell her. “I don’t need you trying to seduce my brother. Ry is going to be a dad.”

“Mm…” she says, and we both laugh.

My next call is to Reggie, and both he and Claire agree to cover me at the bar in exchange for a few extra shifts next week. They seem to be making pretty good money in tips, and I’m relieved. A happy staff is a happy bar.

Isaac is in class, and then he’ll be the prosecutor’s office until six. I text him about the dinner, and he immediately responds.

So you’re asking me to meet your family? he asks.

Stop, I write back, although I laugh. Are you coming or not?

Phee, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I’ll pick you up at 7:30.

“How do I look?” I ask as I get out of the passenger side of Isaac’s car. He laughs, and comes over to take my hand.

“Didn’t I already tell you’re gorgeous?” he asks.

“You always say that, but I wanted your honest opinion.”

He tugs my hand and pulls me into an embrace, his hands locked at my low back. I stare up at him, once again caught up in his blue eyes.

“Phee,” he says seriously. “I think you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.
