You’d think I’d have learned my lesson about lying to Blake, but I promised myself this was just a white lie.

“Can I borrow your car?” I asked him at 11:30. I was supposed to meet someone from the production team at noon to ‘set me up’ for lunch at 12:30. I wasn’t sure how much ‘setting up’ there was to do, but I didn’t want to be late.

Blake had been on the phone or scribbling in his notebook all morning, hardly paying any attention to me after last night, but he looked up, surprised, when I asked.

“Case — do you even know how to drive?”

I punched him in the arm. “Of course I do.”

“Cause I seem to recall that the night we met, you were basically busted out of jail after, um, crashing someone else’s car?”

I threw a pillow at him. “That was all a big misunderstanding. Besides, it was Madison’s fault,” I smiled. I’d been on the phone with Madison, trying to find an earring she’d dropped in my car, when I’d run into the side of our garage and wound up grounded all summer.

Looking back, that car accident was the best thing that ever happened to me.

“I’m a great driver, I promise.” That wasn’t exactly the truth either, but who was keeping score at this point?

“Where are you going?”

“Shopping,” I lied smoothly. “Yesterday was great, but if we’re going to be going out, you’re right, I need some dresses that are a little less parent-appropriate.”

A smile crept across his face. “I’m all for that, Case,” he said, wrapping his palm around my knee and inching his fingers upwards. “Are you sure you don’t want me to come help you pick them out?” He grinned wickedly.

“No, sir,” I giggled, moving just out of his grasp. “They’ll be a surprise.”

He leaned back into the couch, mock frustrated. “The keys are on the kitchen counter, with my wallet. You can grab my credit card, but let them know that they might have to call to authorize the charges.”

I smiled at him wistfully. I didn’t deserve how amazingly well Blake treated me, how perfect he’d been from the first minute we’d met.

Leaning down, I planted a long, slow kiss on his lips, trying to tell him without words how much I loved him, how grateful I was to have him, and how hard I was going to try to fix the disaster I’d turned his life into. Blake’s hands rose to the back of my neck, tangling themselves in my hair, and when I finally stood up, his eyes were dark with desire.

“I’ll be back in a few hours,” I said, winking at him. “I love you,” I called over my shoulder as I walked out the door, happy to say the words.
