Chapter Six

GRACE

After parking her car, Grace reached into her backseat and pulled out a brown paper bag that held a bottle of red wine. She had spent a good twenty minutes perusing the aisles trying to find just the right wine but she felt confident it would go very well with the dinner Monique told her she was preparing.

Monique was a bit of a food connoisseur and Grace wanted to make sure the wine did the meal justice. As she walked towards her friend’s front gate, Grace noticed someone else approaching it. Her heart skipped a beat as she took in his blonde hair and well-toned body. “ Oh for heaven’s sake Grace, knock it off! You have to stop seeing him around every corner! ” But as she reached the gate, her eyes widened as she realized it was in fact him.

“What are you doing here?” she hissed. She had no idea how he had found her, but she was not impressed. As much as she enjoyed their evening, she hadn’t signed on for a stalker!

“Me?” he asked, his face showing his shock. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m having dinner with friends!” she retorted.

“Me too!” he insisted.

“Monique and Larry!” they exclaimed in unison. They stood on the sidewalk, staring at each other in shock. They both knew Larry and Monique? How was that possible? In this big city?

“Larry is my partner and he invited me yesterday,” He explained.

“Monique is a friend of mine and she invited me yesterday,” Grace added.

“Well, I guess we better make the most of it,” he said a bit uncertainly.

“Yeah, I guess we better,” she agreed.

“But don’t say anything!” they turned, pointing their fingers at each other.

“Of course I won't," He looked almost offended, as though the thought would never have crossed his mind. But obviously, it did if he mentioned it too.

He opened the gate and motioned for her to go through first and they walked up the pathway together. Grace’s head was spinning and she had a hard time forming a coherent thought. Luckily, he took control and pushed the doorbell and opened it when they heard someone inside calling them to come in.

“Oh, I see you two have met already,” Monique came to the door with a huge smile on her face.

“What?” Grace asked.

Monique looked at her a bit oddly as she took the bottle of wine out of Grace’s hands.

“You both arrived at the same time?” Monique responded.

“Oh, yes,” Grace stuttered.

Just then Larry came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron that had “ I just take orders” emblazoned in red.

“Hello! Grace, this is Morgan, Morgan, this is Grace,” he introduced them to each other, taking the bunch of flowers that Grace had just noticed Morgan was holding in his hands.

"Nice to meet you, Morgan," Grace said as she attempted a smile.

“You too,” Morgan responded.

Monique invited them into the dining room and they took their seats across from each other. Monique kept up a stream of conversation that centered around the latest antics of her children.
