Cat had three dance classes on Saturday morning and two in the late afternoon. Her last students left ten minutes after six. She sprinted across the street and through the church cemetery to her house, feeling guilty for running through a solemn place. But she needed to at least look decent for tonight. She showered and changed, refreshing her make-up and hair. Just before seven, she walked out of her house and strolled toward The Magnolia.

Cat’s heart skipped a beat when Chase’s car pulled up to the curb. He rolled down the passenger window. “Excuse me, Miss, but could you direct me toward the finest eating establishment in this metropolis?”

A smile stole over Cat’s lips as she leaned into the window. “Why yes, sir, it’s right over there.”

“If you’re heading that direction, I’d be honored to give you a ride.” His eyes flickered over her. “You look fantastic.”

Her insides turned to warm butterscotch. “Thanks.”

Cat opened the door and slid in. “Right on time,” she said.

“Yeah, well don’t get used to it. I’m going to be a doctor, and you know we always keep people waiting. It’s one of the perks of the job.”

She laughed. “What are the other perks?”

“Um, let’s see. I get to ask grown women how old they are, and they can’t get offended.”

“That’s true.”

“The best part is that people come in and say, ‘I hurt right here.’ Then I get to poke them and ask, ‘Right here?’ And they have to let me do it.” He jabbed his index finger into her ribs.

She jumped with a yelp. “Chase Brooks, you haven’t changed one bit.”

A low chuckled rumbled in his throat. “Oh, I’ve changed. I can guarantee you that.”

The way he looked at Cat caused her blood to run faster. Yes, Chase had changed. He’d filled out his lanky frame quite nicely. He was the perfect combination of manly and sophisticated. Her eyes lingered on his chiseled jaw before flickering down his neck to his Adam’s apple. Sheesh! Even that was attractive. Tonight, he wore a deep blue, button-down shirt and black trousers. Cat was glad that she’d taken time to run home and shower.

Chase parked in front of The Magnolia. Harper welcomed them when they walked in. “Hello Doc, Cat. I have your table right over here.” She led to them to a dimly lit corner table with a candle and flowers. “Here are your menus. Marie will be your server.”

The setting sun cast long beams into the window, projecting a luminescent grid along the wooden floor. Chase looked around the dining room. “What a great place. I love the woodwork and big windows. They don’t make buildings like this anymore. Your dance studio is awesome too.”

“Thanks. It used to be a warehouse and then a store.”

His eyes lit with adventure. “Let’s go there after we finish. If you’re lucky, I might just show you some of my break dancing moves.”

“I can hardly wait,” she said sarcastically.

He made a face. “Hey, don’t knock it until you see it.
