NICK STARED at the view from their corner table. This place was so far outside his normal experience, he’d given up trying to comprehend how lucky he was to make it here. One whole wall of the huge dining room consisted of floor-to-ceiling windows. The river was right outside, and they could see a bit of the lake. At just after five in the afternoon it was still light out, but he could imagine how beautiful the view would be once it was dark and the water reflected the city lights.

The whole place felt like something from a fairy tale.

Including the gorgeous man seated across from him. Kyle’s broad shoulders stretched the black T-shirt he was wearing impressively, his rugged-looking face was clean shaven, and Nick’s need to kiss those luscious lips grew more intense by the minute.

“Do you think you can find something you like on the menu?” Kyle looked up from his own leather-bound copy and smiled.

“Um, sure.” The menu had been the last thing on Nick’s mind, even though they’d come here to eat and he needed to make a choice at some point. The view, both outside and across the table from him, was far more fascinating.

Hot taco salad as a starter, fried chicken with all the trimmings as a main course, and a promise of crispy homemade apple pie and ice cream for dessert made his mouth water. With the food and drink orders out of the way, he leaned back in his chair, suddenly nervous.

“You don’t need to worry about it.” Kyle leaned forward as if to make sure Nick got his point. “I was going to treat you to dinner anyway. We’re just here a little earlier than planned, but I suspect we’ll need the time to talk things through.”

Nick nodded. He was too overwhelmed with how kind Kyle was being. He could sure use the support. He’d never really had that before, not since he’d been a very young kid, and Kyle’s willingness to help had already made a huge difference in how he felt. Even if nothing came of the man’s idea, just to have someone who wasn’t trying to put him down or make him feel stupid made Nick feel better.

It wasn’t until dessert that they got around to talking about Nick’s current job situation. Nick had been as curious about Kyle’s background as the man had been about his, so
