“You didn’t really skip out on your wedding before you came here, did you?”

My question makes Danny start choking on the last fry from her plate she just put in her mouth, and I quickly apologize, pushing her soda closer to her across the table while she pounds her fist against her chest.

As much as I wanted to take her somewhere much nicer for dinner than cheeseburgers and fries at The Barge, Danny insisted she just wanted to do something casual here on the island, and it just made me like her even more. Once again, Spencer was right. Sitting here having dinner with Danny in a place I come to all the time has made the nerves I’ve felt since I first asked her on a date completely disappear while we ate and chatted. Even with The Barge being packed during the dinner rush, and even with all eyes glancing our way every so often, it feels like it’s just the two of us, sitting in a booth in the back corner.

“I really should have had you make a list of all the stupid shit my brother told you,” Danny complains once she takes a sip of her drink and stops coughing.

“I think this is the last of it.” I shrug with a guilty smile.

She lets out a sigh, pushing her empty plate to the side and balling up the napkin that was on her lap to toss it on top. I do the same, until we’re both resting our elbows on the table, leaning closer to each other across the top.

“I definitely did not skip out on any wedding.” She laughs softly with a shake of her head. “There wasn’t even an engagement. I did find a ring in Asher’s dresser drawer the week I quit my job, but he never gave it to me. At this point, I don’t even know if it was for me. I found out he was screwing half of Chicago while we were dating, and I broke things off months before I left town. I probably should have broken his dick off instead.”

I can’t help it; my grin is so big it hurts my face, even though I want to wring Tristan’s neck and burn this Asher guy’s house to the ground for betraying her. It’s not that I would feel any differently about her right now if she really did skip out on her wedding. But knowing she doesn’t have someone back in Chicago she’s still in love with makes me happier than when my team won the Virginia State Bowling Tournament last year.

“Freaking Tristan,” I mutter. “Just for honesty’s sake, the night of Sip and Bitch, when you left your phone behind, I responded to one of his texts to you.”

Danny’s eyes widen in shock, and then she quickly grabs her phone from the seat next to her, tapping at a few things on her screen, while I hold my breath, hoping she doesn’t get mad at me.

“Oh my God!”
