Her sister often referred to friends named Drew and Kelsey, but nothing Mia said ever suggested the guy who joined their poker games was the famous quarterback. Maybe she should have put two and two together, because he had attended Mia and Sean’s wedding. However, when she’d seen the well-known athlete having his picture taken outside the church with Nikki Reese, someone Mia had starred in several movies with, she’d assumed he was there as Nikki’s date. The woman had a thing for professional athletes, especially football players. She’d dated at least two players from New England and one from Jacksonville.

“Yep. And I plan on sending him under the water tonight.” Dakota’s smile expressed how much he was looking forward to it.

She didn’t have crushes anymore. She was simply too old for them. Except for when it came to Drew McKenzie, the quarterback who’d led his team to three consecutive championship wins. “Mia’s mentioned his name and his wife’s. I didn’t realize she was talking about him.”

A look of annoyance bordering on jealousy crossed Dakota’s face, and she immediately regretted her tone. She was standing with a man she really liked and wanted to spend time with while acting like a teenager in love with her favorite musician. If he talked about Nikki Reese or someone she’d costarred with in a similar tone while out with her, she’d be mad as hell.

“I can introduce you to Drew when he gets out. He won’t be in there all night.”

Damage control time. “Don’t worry about it. If we run into him, you can, but I don’t want to waste our time trying to find him later.”

His expression remained a bit skeptical, so she released his shoulders and put her hands on either side of his waist. “I’m looking forward to some time in the hot tub with you too much to spend all night here.” She whispered the words against his ear before closing her lips around his earlobe and giving it a gentle tug.

Aware of the setting, she didn’t linger. Instead, she moved back to his side and took his hand. “How do you feel about dancing?”

“Somewhat indifferent. But if you want to dance, I’ll join you.”

Angie surveyed the area. She enjoyed dancing but didn’t love it, so at least for the moment, she felt no need to join the crowd on the dance floor. “Maybe later.”

They skirted their way around the dance floor and past the bouncy houses. She’d loved them and trampolines as a child. If she joined the line to go inside, how many strange looks would she get? Probably too many, and she’d rather not call any attention to herself tonight. After the guide on the ghost tour asked for a picture with her, she’d worried someone in the group might recognize her and ask for an autograph or picture too.

She didn’t want to worry tonight. Since it had worked the day she flew from California to Boston, she’d opted for an outfit similar to the one she’d worn then and skipped any makeup.
