9:15 p.m.

Was it too early to round the corner and wait outside the club?

I was parked a block away, expecting the distance to be worse than it was. I’d been ready for hours and had forced myself out the door and into my car before I chickened out.

Running into Stolas at the coffee shop was a sign that I needed to stop manifesting awkward encounters. That was the only way I could explain the coincidence. That or he was stalking me.

Right, because that beautiful man would be stalking me after one quick conversation.

It wasn’t so far-fetched. People did crazy things, especially here in L.A., and my father was high profile.

I shook the thought from my head.

Stolas had no way of knowing that I had been dreaming and thinking about him so intensely. The fact of the matter was the run-in was a coincidence, and the heavy weight in my chest was from the anticipation of having dinner with him on Monday.

Though he hadn’t clearly labeled it a date, I was going to assume it was one until he started grilling me for information on my father’s campaign or business holdings. The longer I thought about the invitation, the more my stomach knotted and my fingers itched to text him and cancel.

Out of habit, I reached for my locket. I’d cried for an hour in my car when I realized it was gone, and retracing my steps had led me nowhere but back to my empty office to finish paperwork and emails.

I peered down at my phone screen and opened up one of the three social media apps I scrolled through to dull my senses and pass the next forty-five minutes. New posts from friends in the UK appeared first. Three of them were together on a walkabout in London. Mads’ handle was tagged in one of the corners as the photographer, but several thumb pushes later, I saw his own version of events on the outing. He was sitting on a park bench, holding the largest sausage roll I’d ever seen in his lap that he was gesturing to crudely.

Penis jokes.

Did I really miss penis jokes?

When I clicked on his page, there were several new posts that I hadn’t allowed myself to see from the past weekend. In one of them, he was shirtless at the gym; he was fitter than when I’d left. Probably because any time he mentioned going, I would suggest a walk together instead. Those walks always led us to a restaurant or pub. I cringed inwardly. It wasn’t that I didn’t like exercise or feeling accomplished after a good workout. I just found a pint and chips more satisfying.

I closed the app, stopping myself from the spiral that would surely come if I let myself dive too deep. I’d wasted just enough time; it was a few minutes to ten o’clock.

I sent a text to Rhomi and got out of my car to wait.
