Chapter 22

“Mom this is Tobias,” Holiday introduced. Simone an older version of Holiday extended a hand to the young man. Henry, her husband, followed suit as Holiday introduced him.

“It is a pleasure to meet you both,” Tobias exclaimed. “Holiday talks of you often.”

“It’s so nice to meet you as well Tobias,” Simone beamed. She couldn’t stop hitting Holiday on the arm, making her approval obvious. They entered the steakhouse and waited to be seated.

“Holiday,” a familiar voice called out. Her face flushed and she had difficulty turning around. Her parents and Tobias took in the man approaching waiting for Holiday to explain.

“Uh, Jax,” Holiday stammered. “What are you doing here?”

Jax smiled and her knees knocked together. She took a deep breath and tried to maintain her composure. Meanwhile, Jax tried not to focus on the style of her curly hair that left her neck exposed. Brown curls were pulled upward accentuating her neck and shoulders.

“Hopefully eating a great steak,” he answered honestly. Holiday shook her head feeling stupid. Jax’s hands rested casually in his pants pockets but he was itching to touch her.

“I am sorry. This is my mom Simone and my dad Henry, and my date Tobias,” she introduced. Jax extended a hand to each person, shaking with a bright smile.

“This is one of the lawyers in my firm and best friend, Eric Marsh,” he said introducing the blond-haired man to his immediate left. The man looked practically jovial as he gave a polite wave.

“Are you celebrating,” Jax asked. Holiday beamed, “My program was picked up by another nursing home.”

Jax extended a huge hug, “That’s great Holiday! Congratulations!”

“Thank you Jax,” she said with unease. His hug had been incredible and he smelled like heaven. It took everything to prevent her lips from grazing his neck and chin.

“How do you know my daughter,” Simone interjected. She didn’t like the exchange between these two. There was something familiar between them that she didn’t want interfering with Tobias.

“Jax’s mother was my patient,” Holiday said with some sadness. “How are you doing by the way?”

“Holiday and her team took excellent care of my mother. I don’t think I could have gotten through that without her. I am holding up most days,” he said with a hint of sadness.

“I had to get him out of the house to celebrate his divorce. I know that sounds bad but it has been a long time coming and my best friend has been too nice about it. He is finally a free man,” Eric beamed. “If you will excuse me, we have a large bottle of very expensive champagne chilling.”

Simone and Henry frowned while Tobias looked on with indifference. Holiday tried to contain the smile threatening to spread. It didn’t change anything between them but at least he was free from Colette.

“Well, I guess congratulations are in order. I know that has been a difficult process with everything going on with Ms. Emma. I miss her dearly. It’s just not the same without her,” Holiday said honestly.

“I concur,” he said wistfully.
