Chapter Five

“That coffee will put hair on your tongue.” They’d made it to the notorious Café Du Monde in New Orleans and were eating beignets.

“Tell me why you drive like Jason Statham.”

“My mother dated a Nascar driver when I turned sixteen and he couldn’t wait to teach me how to drive.”

“That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. Who was it?”

“Neil Davis.”

“Oh, my God. Rollin’ Thunder.”

“I drove it.”

“No.”

“I did. There’s a picture on our mantle to prove it.” She grabbed for her coffee, but knocked it over instead. Max jumped up.

“Fuck, that’s hot!”

“Oh, my God…I’m so sorry.” She threw the sunglasses off and gathered as many napkins as she could and passed them to him. “Is it bad? God, I’m sorry.” She cupped her hands over her mouth.

“It’s okay. Only stung for a moment.”

“Max. That’s terrible.” She’d donned her large-framed glasses.

Hearing his name tumble from her pouty lips was worth being burned a thousand times over. “It’s not even going to leave a mark.” He smiled to calm her anxiety. It was still burning, but she was so distraught he thought she might cry.

“I think you’re just being nice again.” She squinted at the stain on his jeans.

“Cara, I need to ask you something, and I want you to answer honestly.”

“Okay.” Her blue eyes blinked at him, bulging through her ridiculously large eye glasses.

“How long has it been since you’ve had an eye exam?”

She pushed the frames up her nose. “I’ve had these since tenth grade.”

“Ah, that could explain a few things.”

She blushed deep red. While she took care of throwing their trash in the receptacle, he opened google maps on his phone and searched for the nearest optometrist. He was delighted to find one less than a tenth of a mile away.

“Ready?”

“Ready. I think I should buy you a new pair of jeans.”

The coffee had hit his knee and traveled down his calf. “It’s almost dry. No worries.” They walked, each pointing out their favorite restaurants and souvenir shops. He sensed she wanted to go inside the voodoo store, but he was determined to get her a new eye exam and a pair of specs.

“I need to step in here for a moment.” She followed him through the door. He walked up to the desk. Sensing she wouldn’t comply, he made appointments for two eye exams.

“You really don’t have to do this, Mr. David.”

He frowned. “I thought you were now calling me Max.”

Confusion clouded her face. “When did I call you Max?”

“After you dumped your coffee in my lap.”

Comprehension overtook her features. “I was frazzled.”

He grabbed her hand and pulled her along. “Come, let’s pick out frames. How about a sexy chemist look for you?” He took a black square frame from the rack, removed her Little Miss Sunshine glasses, and delicately slid the trendy frames onto her face.” He smiled and nodded his approval. “Nice.”

She squinted into the mirror, turning her head from side to side. “I like these.”

“Don’t you want to try some more?”

“Nope. I like these.” She smiled at herself in the mirror and he chuckled.
