“By the way, congrats on your engagement. I’m so thrilled for you guys,” Kate said in a flat tone when she pulled into my driveway.

“Your sincerity is staggering.” I shot her a look before grabbing my bag from the backseat of her Honda.

“Did he at least get you flowers or something?” She held her phone in front of her, shaking her head at my post about the big engagement, complete with the photo Max and I’d snapped together.

“No flowers.” I set my bag in my lap when I twisted back around.

“Man, that guy really is all business, isn’t he?” Kate shook her head as she glanced at the house. Max’s car was still in the driveway, but it wouldn’t be for long. It was just past four in the morning, and lately, he’d been heading into the office earlier than usual.

“I don’t know.” I wondered if I should tell Kate. She wasn’t Max’s biggest fan, but she liked him more than she had at the start. “I think he had something nice planned for last night. I could tell he was disappointed when I had to go to work.”

Kate turned in her seat, hanging her arm over the steering wheel. “Something like . . .?”

“I don’t know. He played it off like he didn’t, but he probably had dinner reservations or something.” I pictured his face when I’d told him I had to work last night. “I feel bad.”

“Why? He’s paying you to marry him. That’s the beauty of this kind of relationship. You don’t have to feel bad for ditching him, and he doesn’t have to feel bad for being a total and utter disappointment in the romance category.”

My forehead crinkled. Kate was recently single after she’d found her latest boyfriend in bed with someone else. A man someone else. She’d taken to parading the flag of Men Are Pigs, but I knew it wouldn’t stay up for long. Only as long as it took a good body and a pair of dimples to smile her way.

“Please, you know what I’m talking about.” Kate tsked. “The male species’ height of romance includes grunting his approval after crawling off of a woman in bed.”

“I don’t know . . . Max can be pretty romantic. When he wants to be.” I knew better to argue with Kate when she was on one of her man-hating quests. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Kate’s mouth fell open. “Please don’t say it’s true.”

“Don’t say what’s true?”

“That you’ve become all twitterpatted with your husband-to-be.”

Looking away, I reached for the door handle.

Kate hit the lock button. “Please don’t say the first man my best friend’s gone and fallen for is the same one who’s paying her an obscene amount of money to commit a felony because, damn, that’s just plain tragic if that’s the truth.”

“Kate—”

“It’s okay. You’ve caught a case of German Fever. I get it. He’s sex in a suit.” She locked the doors again when I hit my door’s unlock button. “Get him out of your system.
