“The Blind Pig or Joensy’s? You got a tenderloin preference?” Raffi kisses me on the cheek. It’s adorable, romantic, and makes his cheeks go pink.

This is most definitely not Raffi’s car. I don’t know who owns it, but it looks pretty new. Smells it too.

“Whatever you want is fine. I’m not picky.”

“You should always be picky, Victoria.” He sounds so stern when he’s scolding me. “Especially about food. Life’s too short to eat subpar tenderloin.”

At this point, I just want to hang out with him. I don’t care about the food, I don’t care about the car, I just want to get to know him to see if we could work together as a couple. Or at least co-parent. That’s non-negotiable.

“It’s Apollo’s car.” He casts a glance across at me. “Apparently I wasn’t allowed to take you out in something that was older than his grandma or likely to break down.”

He told his friends we were going out? I’m not sure how I feel about that.

He pats my thigh. “They don’t know who you are, just that I’m going out. I guess the fact that I didn’t leave the house in gym gear was a giveaway. Apollo just tossed his keys at me and told me not to get cum on the seats.” His eyes widen. “Fuck. Sorry. That’s not… I didn’t. Jesus. I’m nervous. I don’t wanna fuck this up.”

I’m laughing so hard I might pee my pants. Ever since having Wyatt those muscles haven’t been as reliable as I’d like them to. They always tell you to work on your pelvic floor when you’re pregnant, but they don’t quite tell you why. And by the time you figure out the why, it’s almost too late.

“It’s fine. But now I’m tempted to leave a stain on the seat just to prank him.”

He weaves his fingers into mine and holds my hand on my thigh. Bold move, but one I’m more than comfortable with. I want to be close to him. I’ve spent three years thinking he wanted nothing to do with me, so his overt affection warms me like stepping inside after being outside shoveling snow for a few hours.

My skin tingles. I opted for jeans, boots, and a shirt. Casual, but at least three steps up from my daily mom-wear. Raffi’s wearing jeans and a button down. He looks handsome as hell, and there’s a part of me that wants him to find a gravel road and make all kinds of mess in Apollo’s back seat.

But we need to talk, reconnect.

As we wait at a red light, Luke Combs’s “Hurricane” comes onto the radio. I haven’t heard Raffi sing before, but the more he gets into the song, the more I realize he can really carry a tune.

“What?” That lopsided grin is going to be the death of me. It’s the same one Wyatt gives me when he wants snacks or screen time. If the two of them ever pull it on me, I’ll die right on the spot.
