Drake had to admit he was surprised when Isa called. But how she was able to turn the questioning around on him blew his mind. If she were a businesswoman, she would rise to the top very quickly. She probably had no idea how good she was. That didn’t mean he appreciated the line of questioning.

He was, however, capable of turning it back around. He knew there were certain topics he needed to avoid. Otherwise, she might withdraw. Drake did not want this to be their last outing. In order to ensure a second, he needed to be on his best behavior.

The waitress had delivered their breakfast, and Isa had been correct. The food was good. When he tried to reach and steal one of her sausages, he was met with a light tap.

“I thought you only wanted tea,” Drake said teasingly.

He loved the way she wrinkled her nose just before she grinned. She was enchanting. She’s like a breath of fresh air, something I didn’t know I needed.

“I’m only thinking of your cholesterol.”

Drake quickly moved his hand and snatched one of the sausages before she could stop him. He popped the entire thing in his mouth. With her hands covering her plate Isa burst out laughing.

“You better watch out. I have my eye on that bacon too.”

“I will not underestimate you twice.”

Nor I, you. Drake had been out with many women, but none had made him laugh the way Isa did. She not only could take a little bit of ribbing, but she could give it back just as well. He knew he was attracted to her. Who wouldn’t be? Her body had curves in all the right places. Her beautiful lips were made for kissing. Her long dark hair with silky curls was meant to spread out across his sheets.

But that’s not why he was there. He had sworn to himself to watch out for her until the Hendersons decided to tell her the truth. He had made a promise to Gabe not to say a word. But no matter how happy she appeared to be, he could still see the pain she was trying to hide. It was killing him to know he held the key to change that. Alex. Better make that fucking decision quick. Isa deserves to know she’s not alone. She has family here.

Drake also knew Ziva was going to need to deliver the difficult news as well. Although Ziva had survived that hellhole of her country, their parents hadn’t. Isa was going to go through a period of mourning and grief. He hoped he could build a strong enough bond to help her through it.

They finished their breakfast and left the diner. When they got outside, it was still pouring rain. Drake asked, “Are you sure we can’t take the limo back?”

The time they spent in the diner obviously had broken a few of her barriers. She nodded in agreement, and Drake pulled out his cell phone and called the driver to their location.
