Liv

Will called goodnight to various faces on the way to the lobby, but I buzzed with so much energy that I barely noticed. We packed into an elevator down to the garage. His fingers splayed across my waist to pull me against him.

This is happening.

I aimed the fob at my little red Chevy Bolt and glanced over. “It’s no Audi.”

After an hour in his office, the difference in our financial stations was again apparent, but Will just snorted and buckled up.

This is happening.

“This is happening.” The words came out with a giddy laugh.

“What is?”

“You and me. It’s a thing.”

He reached for my hand and ran his thumb over my knuckles. “Yes. It’s a thing. Now drive. We’re going to be terribly late if you don’t.”

“Gah, so bossy.” I pulled my hand back to put the car in reverse. On the short drive to the restaurant, I ventured to ask, “Doesn’t that weird you out?”

Will’s fingers tapped on his knees. “Weird me out? No.”

“Really? You and Olivia Milani are a thing. Not weird?”

He inhaled deeply but didn’t speak. I wanted to look at him, but traffic was so heavy I had to concentrate on the road. I parked at the restaurant and turned to him with a frown. “You’re a man of few words sometimes.”

He smiled again. “Olivia Milani and I are a thing.”

“Weird, right? At least a little.”

He leaned for a gentle kiss. “Weird isn’t the word I’d use. Stop worrying. We’ll talk more later, I promise.”

We walked across the parking lot, but Will slowed at the doors. “Let’s not go in together. You go ahead. Say I had to make a call.”

So, with a nod and a deep breath, Family Liv pulled open the door.

“Happy birthday, Mommy!” I wore a huge grin when I found everyone at a table with a round of drinks. Mom squeezed me when I wrapped her in a hug and kissed her cheek.

“Sorry I’m late. Traffic was bad. Hi, Dad.” I pecked his cheek, too.

“Did you forget Will?” Mom asked while I sat down beside Tom.

I laughed. “I was tempted, but I knew better than to keep him from your birthday. He had to make a call.”

“You look lovely, little one. Simply radiant.” Mom gave me the eye.

I tucked my hair behind my ear and simpered a thanks. My phone buzzed, so I snuck a glance.

WL: Don’t smile like that. It turns me on way too much.
