CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Sage opened her door and about had a heart attack. “Wow. You look … wow.”

Cam grinned, and it didn’t help her pulse slow down at all. He was wearing a suit so deep blue it was almost black. It matched his eyes and looked like it was tailor made to showcase his large, fit body.

“Look at you.” He took her hand and squeezed it. “You’re so beautiful.”

Sage smiled and did a little curtsy. Her knee-length red shift dress floated up. She was wearing heels. Heels! She’d never dared wear them, but Cam claimed he loved her height, and he was tall enough she could wear a two-inch stiletto, and he still had her by several inches. “I dress to please.”

“I’m definitely pleased.” He chuckled and escorted her onto the porch. She teetered a little bit on the stairs.

“Sorry. Not used to wearing these shoes.”

“You should always wear them. Your legs are …” He looked away and cleared his throat. “Perfect.”

“Thank you.” Sage smiled, wishing she dared tell him it was only because of his confidence boost that she’d been brave enough to don the funky black and white swirled stilettos.

He helped her into his truck, and they drove down to the Redstone shopping area by the outlet stores. “Do you like Italian?” he asked.

“It’s a personal favorite.”

“My sister loves Ghidotti’s, so we come here every time she’s in town.”

“I’ve never been.”

“Good.” He gave her a quick glance and a warm smile. “I like introducing you to new things.”

Something about that smile and those words had her tingling.

The young man running the valet service got her door and helped her out. He handed her off to Cam with a smile that grew when Cam palmed him a twenty-dollar bill.

“Whoa. You tip the valet that much?” Sage asked as the young man jumped into Cam’s truck.

Cam shrugged, looking embarrassed. Sage reddened too. “Sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. I like rewarding young people who are willing to work, but I don’t want you to think I show off my money.”

Sage’s eyebrows dipped. What was he talking about? She hoped firefighters made a fabulous wage for the expertise they had and risks they took, but she doubted they were super wealthy. They probably didn’t make much more than she did working as a public servant. Cam’s truck and house were both really nice, but she assumed that was because he was single and could sink all his money into them. Plus, he’d said he had done some of the work on the house.

The maître d’ escorted them to a corner table. The restaurant was gorgeous with decorative wrought iron along the banisters and over each archway, tan-colored walls, marble pillars, a huge fireplace, and green plants decorating the surfaces.

The Italian waiter was fun and flirtatious. Sage had to hide a smile when Cam scowled at the man complimenting Sage and beaming when she said she’d have whatever he suggested. He returned quickly with their drinks and a calamari fritti appetizer.

Sage dipped some calamari in the sauce and savored the creamy texture and spicy flavors.
