CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

Too Little Too Latte

The next morning, Ryan asks me if I want to grab dinner after work since he’s leaving for Vegas tomorrow, but I have to turn him down because I’m meeting Marc for coffee. Not only did I have to say no to Ryan, but I had to lie to him too. I still couldn’t bring myself to talk about Marc with him. At first, I didn’t want my ex-boyfriend to seem like baggage, and now I don’t want that baggage to seem like some sort of threat. I always thought that if Ryan ever did ask me about my past relationships, I would be honest about everything—but so far he hasn’t asked.

At the end of the day I go looking for Adam and find him sitting in Dave’s office. I poke my head in and greet both of them.

“Hello, short one,” Adam says.

“Am I interrupting?” I ask Dave.

“Never, come on in,” he says and gestures to the empty seat next to Adam.

Adam puts his feet up on my lap as soon as I sit down. “Why don’t you tell Uncle Dave about all your love troubles, Kitty?” Adam says.

I shoot Adam a dirty look. I’m never quite as at ease around Dave as Adam is, yet he never seems to take that into consideration.

“Oh, please, like he doesn’t already know every uninteresting detail,” Adam announces.

I turn to Dave and my cheeks go flush from embarrassment. Dave is always very professional, but he does his best to make me feel comfortable during most of Adam’s tirades.

Dave smiles at me, his hands folded in his lap. “So, you and Ryan?” He feels obligated to comment.

“I hope we aren’t sending H.R. into a panic,” I say attempting to laugh it off.

“Not as far as I know,” he says. “He’s a good guy, Ryan. I’ve known him for many years.”

“You have?” Adam and I both say in unison.

Dave lets out a small snicker. “Yes, I have.”

“Spill it,” Adam says to him.

“There’s not much to spill. He used to work at an agency that I did freelance work for a few years ago, and I always thought he was a great writer and a real stand-up guy. I’m actually a bit surprised by all this because I remember him as being kind of shy and keeping to himself mostly. I will say he’s always grabbed the ladies’ attention, so to speak,” Dave said with a nod.

A pang of jealousy rings in my head.

“How the hell old is this guy?” Adam questions Dave.

“Early thirties, I guess,” Dave answers. “He was just starting out when I met him.”

Adam looks astonished for no real reason. “Well, who knew?”

“Way to hold out, Dave,” I say.

“Sorry, I didn’t think it was my place,” he says.

Adam removes his feet from my lap and reaches for his cell phone. “Well, Kat’s off to meet with her ex-boyfriend right now anyway,” he announces.

“Oh?” Dave questions me, feigning interest.

“It’s nothing all that interesting.” I stand and excuse myself. “You and Ryan have a great trip to Vegas tomorrow.
