The restaurant was on the ninetieth floor of the Hancock building. The dining was elegant and tasteful, along with its patrons. “Nathan, always first to the occasion,” Mary Conklin greeted her eldest son warmly. His smile was sincere as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. “Jamie, I love your dress,” she added, reaching to give me a hug.

Soon Becca’s parents arrived along with her sister’s family and brother. Tyler and Becca followed, his hand firmly on her lower back as they walked into the waiting area. Both of them looked distracted, I’m sure because of Tyler’s run in with the supposed drug dealer from Grand Rapids, but I still had my doubts.

Mitch graced us with his presence and my eyes went wide when I saw him. He’d only ever worn jeans and T-shirts around me, usually with a Cubs baseball hat. But this time he had on well-fitted dress slacks and a polo shirt tucked in neatly with a belt. His short sandy blond hair was styled perfectly, making a faux hawk but just slightly to the side. He was mouthwatering, and I hated the immediate fantasies that exploded in my mind when I saw him, but they all too soon vanished when a bright-eyed brunette gracefully followed him, wrapping her arm around his. The closer Mitch and his date got to us, the bigger his smirk became. I was beginning to think he loved to piss me off as much as I loved to despise him.

My heart sank, then my anger fueled. Scowling at him was easier to do when he was acting like a dick.

My anger subsided into horror when I recognized his date for the evening. She was the attendant at Giorgio Armani who’d thought Nathan and I was a couple. My head dipped low, leaning into Nathan. How were we going to pull this one off? She was too friendly not to say hello and recognize us

“Nathan, this night might get interesting,” I murmured into his shoulder. His brows crinkled as he looked down toward me then followed my line of sight. The slight laugh that escaped his lips made me feel more at ease.

“Yes, it just might,” he added, holding his arm out to me. I took it easily, leaning in closer than normal, making sure Mitch saw the gesture. His eyes darkened and his mouth formed a thin line. Just the reaction I was hoping for. I flipped my hair as I turned, feeling satisfied to have wiped the cocky expression off his face.

“Mary, this table is gorgeous. And look at the view.” Becca’s mother gasped as we scattered around the table to find seats. Nathan and I took the far end by Becca and Tyler and, to my terrible luck, Mitch and Armani girl sat directly across from us.

“Oh my goodness, you two came into the store today,” Mitch’s date finally realized. I nodded politely, not wanting her to make a big deal about it. “I knew that dress would look great on you.
