Forty minutes later, I sat back and patted my stomach. “I feel like such a pig.”

Ash looked down at his own plate and said, “I ate enough for three of you. What does that make me? A hippo?”

I laughed. He was right. While I had mostly concentrated on the lobster, he had easily devoured most of the other offerings.

I shook my head. “Were you a competitive eater once upon a time?”

“In college, I could scarf down at least five hot dogs in one sitting, but I just assumed that was because I was always hungry.”

“Where’d you go to college?”

“Stanford. My brother went there too. Sort of a family tradition.”

I instantly felt out of my league. “I struggled through my junior college classes,” I confessed.

“Don’t feel bad. I only got into Stanford because my great-grandfather has his name on one of the buildings.”

“His name on the building? Was he someone famous?”

“No.”

“Inventor? Or a scientist maybe?”

“God no, I heard he couldn’t even find his way out of a paper bag.”

“Politician?”

“No to all three.” He then stood up abruptly and said, “The night’s still young and my pastry chef is on vacation. Her replacement is amazing, but I have something else in mind. Care to join me for dessert, Libby?”

I reached out my hand, intrigued by whatever mystery he had planned for me. “Lead the way, Ash.”

He grabbed my hand and I let him continue holding it as he led me out of the restaurant and down the street.

“Do you mind if we take my car?”

I shook my head as he led me to a large pickup truck. I climbed in and settled comfortably next to him in the wide front seat.

“Wherever you’re taking me better be good.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

A few short minutes later, we pulled up to another restaurant that seemed to be more of a dive than an actual restaurant. It definitely wasn’t a swanky establishment, so I was surprised that Ash had taken us there. It wasn’t until I read the sign that I realized it was actually a pub.

“Is dessert hard liquor? Because I should let you know ahead of time, I’m a lightweight.”

“No way, I’m too classy for that. I reserve hard liquor for my second dates.”

I laughed as I climbed out of the truck. He again took my hand and I found myself liking the feel of his hand holding mine. It felt right, as if it was the most natural thing to do.

He opened the door to the pub, and chatter and lively conversations greeted us as we walked in. There were only a few tables, and they were packed. Men and women alike seemed to be trying to talk over each other. Expertly, Ash led me through the crowd to the bar towards the back of the restaurant.

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Ash,” said the bartender as the men shook hands across the bar, smiling widely at each other.

“Does O’Day know you’re here? Is he expecting ya?”

“Nope. I doubt it. Can you get us a couple of sodas, Richie? I’m driving and the lady here is a lightweight.
