‘Where’s my drink?’ In the seat beside him, Adele’s back went ramrod straight and she brushed down imaginary and wayward loose strands of hair on her head.

Luke appeared behind them, one hand on each of their shoulder’s. His eyes skittered over the empty bottles of wine and the plates of food on the table.

Adele and Blake still sat in the cellar door, hours after Juliette’s family had left. Time had passed quickly, and the more wine they’d consumed, the more they’d laughed and shared. A warm glow passed through Blake, and it wasn’t from his fabulous wine.

‘Adele was right in the middle of the story of how you met.’

‘Ah, the semi-formal story. That’s getting a bit old, isn’t it?’ Luke reached over and found a bottle with a residue of wine left and poured it into a dirty glass. Blake noticed Adele’s shiver.

‘Aw, don’t say that,’ Adele crooned. Her glassy eyes were sparkling in Luke’s direction. ‘It’s a great story, marking the beginning of our friendship. It was fate, a chance meeting and we’ve been inseparable ever since.’

‘Ain’t that true, bestie.’ Luke flashed a seductive grin. Adele came alive, blossoming next to him, whereas a sinking feeling deposited itself in his gut. He’d observed Adele to be whip smart, funny, dedicated to her job, kind and caring and yet she responded to the juvenile charm of his brother. It didn’t quite make sense to him, and he didn’t want to stereotype her to be like every other woman, and yet…

‘Where were you? You didn’t come to the wine tasting!’ Adele accused, laughing, her tease light and buttery.

Blake rose. He couldn’t stand by and watch the banter back and forth between the two. ‘I better head up to the restaurant and check on things. Thanks for the chat this afternoon, Adele, and for the company and the wine tasting. Really, you did a great job.’

She offered him a smile of thanks and shifted on the stool, almost losing her balance. Both men reached out to prevent her fall. ‘I’ve got her bro,’ Luke said, and Blake left.
