Chapter Five

The limousine reappeared at six, after dropping me home with enough time to shower and do my hair. I’d styled it into a wave to suit the new dress, with black Dior heels and a vintage black freshwater pearl necklace to complete my outfit.

I felt like a million dollars, but I was still nervous as hell when Xander’s shadow crossed the frosted glass panel of my front door. Three short knocks sounded and Baxter sprinted toward it, barking like crazy.

I peeked through a lounge room curtain and caught my breath. He was wearing a tuxedo, the outfit on him so perfect it made me want to swoon. What was I doing going on a date with someone so handsome and charming?

Should I make him wait? I thought suddenly. I didn’t want him to think I’d been hovering by the door waiting for him, did I? It didn’t feel like something I should do, but weren’t girls on dates with sexy guys supposed to play it cool?

Wait... was I thinking of this as an actual date now?

Baxter barked again, running from the door back to me impatiently, giving my location away. Well said—waiting was for women who played games, not me.

I opened the door to find Xander poised to knock again. He blinked, hand raised, and then blinked once more, mouth falling slowly open.

“Well?” I asked, dropping a curtsy. “Do you like?”

“Sacre bleu,” he breathed. “Kate, you look... beautiful.”

I blushed furiously as Xander took a hand and raised it to his lips. “Richards had said, but still-”

Baxter took it upon himself to ruin the scene, racing between my legs to bark excitedly at Xander. He zipped down the driveway and then sat eagerly by the car. Xander chuckled politely as my mouth dropped open, horrified. “Baxter!”

Baxter cocked his head, whining, as Xander strode to pick the little fuzzball up. He ruffled the disgruntled puppy’s head. “Sorry little fellow, not this time.”

Baxter’s ears drooped.

“But!” Xander continued, “I do have a present for you.” He looked to me. “He is allowed to eat bones, isn’t he?”

Baxter’s ears pricked up at the word and I nodded, holding my upper arms. He was so good with that dog!

Xander opened the trunk of the car to pull out a huge present wrapped in gift wrap. It had cute little bones all over it. “The gift-wrap is edible,” he whispered in an aside.

“That’s a... bone?” I asked incredulously. “What from? A mammoth?”

Xander shrugged as the dog started scrabbling to get at the gift in his other hand. “What can I say? I like the little guy.”

I frowned, marveling at the instant bond these two seemed to share. “Maybe you and Baxter would like to go off and have dinner together?”

He laughed. “I’d much prefer your company. But I couldn’t have him lonely while you were gone.”

Conversation in the limousine came easily, jumping from Baxter to shopping to nursing to America as we sipped champagne. I asked Xander about his country, too.

“Alonia?” he asked. “It’s a principality between the borders of Switzerland and Germany.
