Dinner tomorrow night at my house?

His reply was almost instant.

Love to. What time?

7 okay?

See you then.

She smiled as she put her phone down. There. That was much better than going off on a man who could potentially ruin her. Dinner with Luke. Two weeks ago, she’d never have thought it possible. Especially when she’d convinced herself he was an ass and she wanted nothing to do with him.

Now she could admit that she wasn’t sure she’d ever gotten over him all those years ago. She should probably thank The Taskmaster for forcing her to reconnect with him. Had it not been for him, she and Luke would still be strangers. She’d have completely missed out on discovering what an incredible man he’d become.

Not to mention the insanely good sex.

Speaking of which, she needed to straighten up the house and put clean sheets on her bed. And figure out what she was making for dinner tomorrow night.

On second thought, scratch that. She needed to figure out where she was getting takeout from.

The next day Luke showed up at her apartment at five minutes till seven. Of course he was punctual, of course he was. Meagan was still running around, trying to decide which shirt to put on.

“Coming!” she yelled at his knock, dragging a short-sleeve silk blouse over her head. “Be right there.”

He was smiling when she opened the door.

“Hello,” he said. He looked devilishly handsome in blue jeans and a T-shirt.

“Come in.” She held the door open wide so he could pass through.

He dropped a kiss on her cheek before stepping over the threshold. “Thank you for having me tonight.”

She smiled at the potential double meaning. “It only seemed fair, seeing as how you had me the night before last.”

He laughed softly. “Nice place.”

Meagan looked around her apartment as if seeing it for the first time. It was neat and tidy, perhaps overly so. But that was just the way she was. She had a tendency to stress-clean. And between her brother, Luke, and The Taskmaster, there had been a lot of cleaning going on. The decor was more contemporary than traditional, though the one thing she insisted upon was comfortable furniture.

Her place wasn’t very large, so it took only a few minutes to show him everything. She ended the tour in the kitchen, where the fresh-baked smells of the lasagna she’d picked up at a local Italian restaurant filled the air.

“Something smells good,” Luke said.

“Lasagna.”

“You made lasagna?”

“I didn’t so much make it as I picked it up from a nearby restaurant and reheated it.”

“Either way, it smells delicious.”

Once more he was charming and down-to-earth. He had a breezy, nonchalant air about him. She liked that; it buffered her more type-A personality. They talked over dinner about their families, their current careers, and where they wanted to be in five years.

As they were finishing up eating, Luke grew serious. “I feel the need to apologize for what happened all those years ago.”

“You don’t have to,” Meagan said. “I get it.
