I shake my head and tell the women goodbye. I can walk to the coffee shop from here. The house is in a good, central location for not needing a car, even though I have one, a really nice Acura, in fact. I rarely get it out of the garage.

Dean walks up to the coffee shop at the same time as me. He’s dressed in a maroon skinny suit, with pants that stop above his ankles and loafers with no socks.

“Look at us! We got here at the exact same time.”

“It’s a miracle.” I deadpan.

“Don’t be sarcastic.” He grabs my arm as we enter together.

I guess it should bother me that a guy is hanging off my arm, but it doesn’t. Dean has always been this way since we were kids. I don’t even notice anymore.

“I like this blazer. Where did you get it?” He slides a hand down my gray coat.

“I think it was Dad’s. I’ve had it forever.” I threw it on over a white tee and jeans.

“Oh! I talked to your dad this morning. Is he the most adorable thing or what? Did he tell you he wants to set up a profile on Mingle dot com?”

An unexpected wave of overprotectiveness moves through my chest. “Yeah, what did you say? We’re going to have to watch out for him.”

“I said we’d help him as soon as we got back.” Hazel eyes level on me, and my eyebrows rise.

“As soon as we get back?”

“You didn’t think you’d sneak off to New Orleans without me! Not when you’re making your great romantic gesture… and especially not after you dragged me out of there on a moment’s notice.”

This is getting a little too dramatic for my plans. “First, it’s not a big romantic gesture.”

“You’re going to reclaim the woman of your dreams, are you not?” He places a palm in the center of his chest.

“Order your coffee.”

Dean gets a skinny soy butterscotch decaf Frappuccino, and I just get an Americano to go, shaking my head at his order. While we wait for his beverage, I try to regain control of my trip south.

“I’m going to talk to her. I’m not going down there to make some big scene or scare her off… Or piss her off.”

“You can do what you want. I’m going down there to find that sexy hunk of man we left behind.” His drink arrives, and he does a little shoulder shimmy. “Musicians are so hot.”

We start walking in the direction of my warehouse apartment. “She doesn’t want Roland to know she’s there. They don’t get along.”

“I don’t see why her name ever has to come up. Or yours for that matter.”

Standing on the sidewalk in front of my place, I consider what he’s suggesting. “I had hoped you’d be here to keep an eye on the house for me.”

“You hired Rebecca for that.”

“What about Dad? He’s not completely out of the woods yet.”

“Your dad is doing so well, he’s horny.”

That makes me wince. Up until now, I hadn’t really thought through everything it would mean for my dad to start dating again.
