"Well, look at you." Grams smiled brightly at me, taking in my dress as I walked out into the living room. "You look beautiful. Where are you going tonight?"

I chewed on the inside of my cheek and brushed a curl from my face. I was hesitant to tell her, but since Wes was picking me up at her house, there was no sense in lying.

"Wes is picking me up to go get dinner."

Grams raised her eyebrows at me as mischief danced in her eyes. "Wes as in Phyllis's Wes?"

"Yes, Grams. The only Wes either of us know."

She laughed softly. "I told Phyllis the two of you were going to end up dating. She thought it would take a little while longer before you both gave in to one another."

"We're not dating," I told her before I paused and tilted my head to the side. "Wait, do the two of you have some sort of bet going on?"

She shrugged. "We're both competitive people who like to gamble."

"You are both menaces."

"Now, honey, you know that it's all in good fun." She rose to her feet and walked over to me.

I pursed my lips. "You know you're a damn menace."

She laughed again. "I never said I wasn't. We're just two old ladies. Let us enjoy ourselves while we get to watch two young people fall in love."

"Grams! We're not falling in love. We're not dating. We've just been hanging out as friends."

She raised her hands in an innocent gesture. "Okay, okay. Whatever you say." The doorbell rang, effectively cutting her off. I wasn't sure if I was grateful or not because I knew who rang it. "I'll let you go get the door. The two of you have fun and I won't wait up for you," she said before she pressed her lips to my cheek and disappeared onto the back patio.

I inhaled deeply, sucking in a breath as I smoothed out my purple sundress. I had no idea where he was taking me tonight, but with the Floridian heat, a dress felt like it was always an appropriate outfit choice. The humidity hadn’t been kind to my curly hair, so I decided to let it be natural instead of trying to style it and have it turn into a frizzy mess.

Wes was standing on the other side of the door with his hands tucked in the front pockets of his gray seersucker shorts. His molten steel eyes raked over me as a slow smile lifted the corners of his lips. His gaze settled on mine and I blushed under the intensity of his stare.

"You're breathtaking, Charlotte."

I swallowed roughly and smiled. "Thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself."

He stepped inside and looked over at me as he held out his elbow. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt revealing his tanned, toned arms. "Shall we?"

"We shall." I nodded as I linked my arm through his. His scent invaded my senses and his skin was warm against mine as he led me to his car.
