That night, David had one thought only. Getting her to agree. He wanted her to agree to his plan, and get the marriage underway as quickly as possible. He had a vague idea of hustling her to Vegas for a quick ceremony.

At seven o'clock, she was waiting for him on the sidewalk of an old brownstone where she rented the basement from an older couple.

He pulled up to the curb and without giving him a chance to get out, she slid in the vehicle. She avoided his eyes and began to fasten her seatbelt.

Jenna hadn't known what to wear, so she had opted for the middle ground, dress slacks with peep-toed pumps and a red sweater. Fall was definitely in the air, and she knew it would be chilly tonight.

She had been having nothing but second thoughts about this. They weren't really second thoughts, because he had railroaded her into this dinner meeting.

Her name rolled off his tongue and slid like molten lava through her. She shook herself and tried to get a grip. She couldn't remember what she was going to say. She saw the world passing outside the window, and realized they were heading south, toward the river. “Are we going to the riverfront?”

The Ohio River was a natural border between Ohio and Kentucky and separated Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky. The two cities were connected and divided by the river. The stadium of the Cincinnati Reds was on the Ohio side of the river, and the River Center in Covington was a famous tourist spot with lots of floating bars and restaurants. Jenna had been there a couple of times and loved the whole atmosphere.
