DONOVAN AND BECCA WAITED for Lloyd and Monica at the table of a small restaurant just outside the hotel. They had waited fifteen minutes, and there was no sight nor sound coming from Lloyd. Donovan checked the time on his cell phone screen. “Now that his girlfriend is here, I don’t think Lloyd will be too much of a distraction.”

Becca flexed her jaw. “For the record, doing what we did in the bathtub was not relaxing.”

At the time faking a cramp to trick her back into going back into the tub seemed like a good idea. Ergo the water in her ears. “That’s not how I remember your reaction,” Donovan punctuated his reply with a sly grin. He rubbed her cheek with the back of his fingers and kissed her.

“If you two need a moment we can go to the bar.” Once again Lloyd had startled them out of their world made up of only the two of them. A woman that looked like she was a yoga teacher stood beside him. Her long, lean stature contrasted Lloyd’s muscular build.

“No, we’re good,” Donovan gave Becca’s knee a gentle squeeze.

Lloyd and Monica took a seat across the table from them. Monica arched a brow to give her face a curious look. “I feel like I know you.”

“I am a community liaison. Perhaps we worked on a project together.” Donovan dismissed the comment and reached for the beverage menu.

“I live in Billings. That’s not it.” She shrugged to dismiss the conversation. “It’ll come out sooner or later.”

All eyes were reading through menus when the server dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts came to the table. “How’s everything going today?”

“Couldn’t be better,” Donovan answered for the group.

“I figured it out,” Monica exclaimed.

“Good, we’ll start with you.”

“No,” Monica said, “I figured out where I knew you.”

“Me?” The server pointed to herself with her notepad.

“No, him.” Monica pointed at Donovan. “I have your profile saved to my Meet My Match wall.”

Becca looked over her menu at Donovan. Lloyd sat a little straighter. “I’m sure you’re mistaken. He’s here on his honeymoon.”

“No, I’m serious,” Monica persisted.

“Did we want to start with appetizers?” The server added an enthusiastic thumb up to her question.

“You think I’m crazy. Don’t you?” Monica started digging through her purse.

“We’ll start with a fried zucchini platter,” Donovan kept his eyes on the menu. “And, do you make homemade chips?”

“No, but we have some killer fries and sauce.”

“We’ll take it,” Donovan replied. “Add a beer and an umbrella drink to it.”

“Really,” Monica flipped through screens on her phone. Having found what she sought after, she held up the screen to reveal a picture of Donovan in hiking clothes with a mountain landscape behind him.

If lasers could have come out of Donovan’s eyes, Lloyd and Monica would have been incinerated on the spot.

“Did I mention he’s here on his honeymoon,” Lloyd side whispered.

Donovan squirmed in his seat and positioned himself closer to Becca. He cleared his throat before explaining the situation. “Before we got engaged I met women on Meet My Match.
