“You’re a genius,” I whispered, giving myself a quick pat on the shoulder while sitting at my desk in the Sunset Security headquarters in Manhattan. “An absolute genius.”

Today was Thursday, the last day I would spend in Manhattan before flying back to the Hamptons – back to Elena. Another weekend meant another date, and it was my turn to come up with something for us to do.

Surprisingly, I actually found myself struggling to keep up with Elena’s creativity. I was impressed by her wide range of tastes and interests. She liked to do several things I had never tried despite having a fortune at my disposal. What she hadn’t yet done, she was always a good sport and ready to try something new. When it was Elena’s turn to plan our date, she chose activities like going to the outdoor art fair, or to a movie. Her choices were never extravagant or pricey, but they catered to both of our interests.

Nothing would be simple about our date on Saturday. Just moments ago, I had been sitting with my heels propped up on the desk, idly staring at my phone with both the hope and fear that it would light up with a message from Elena. I always wanted to talk, but I hadn’t been able to come up with the perfect date for this weekend yet. And I didn’t want her to call and ask what I was planning.

I couldn’t wait to see the look of surprise on Elena’s face.

Preferring not to spoil the surprise by accident while my attention was split between work and texting Elena, I waited until the next day shortly after my private jet landed in the Hamptons to call her. “Hey,” I said when she picked up, already feeling more relaxed knowing I was much closer to her than I had been all week. “It’s my turn to plan the date this weekend, right?”

“Right,” she confirmed what I already knew. “I can leave Bree with Payton Saturday afternoon and pick her up Sunday morning.”

“Great, because I’ve already made reservations for dinner Saturday evening,” I admitted.

“Why am I not surprised? That’s fine, luckily for you and your reservation. Which restaurant?”

“Actually, I want it to be a surprise. But I will tell you that it’s gourmet and in New York City, so we’ll be taking my jet.”

“That’s a lot of trouble to go to just for dinner,” Elena said suspiciously. “What makes this restaurant different from one of the gourmet places in the Hamptons?”

She had a point. The Hamptons had several exclusive, restaurants on
