I didn’t have free time then, but Dylan made me promise that I would give him a moment or two when I was done work.

“Okay, are you sure you don’t need me to do anything else, Joan? I don’t mind...really.”

I’ve been playing in my head a scenario in which Dylan would need more than words to apologize—let me just say the imagination can be a dangerous thing.

“Vel, sweetheart, you need to stop stressing over this,” Joan says.

I give her a curt nod. “You’re right; it’s probably nothing. Dylan will probably just say a quick sorry for being an ass, offer me a handshake, and be on his way.”

Joan laughs. “Oh no, that boy has no intention of sending you off with a handshake.”

“What do you mean?”

She walks over, laying a hand on my shoulder and giving it a tight squeeze. “Velyn, my love, that boy’s…oh, what do the kids say? Oh, that’s it…that boy wants to tap that.”

What!

“Nuh-uh! No! Dylan Dandridge has no thought in his mind about that, well, at least not with me. No, it’s not like that. Ha, he just started to accept that I’m not a horrible person. Trust me, Dylan does not want to tap any of this,” I reply as I motion down the front of my apron.

Joan looks to me. “Dear, when you look up thinks with penis in the dictionary, a picture of that boy is right beside it. The only difference is now I think he may have met his match in you, and sweetie, once he figures it all out, he isn’t going to be so quick just to let you go.”

“No. Joan, that can’t happen. It will never happen. Chase is my best friend, and I won’t jeopardize that by getting involved with Dylan.”

Her eyes shoot past me, and a slow grin creeps across her mouth as she nods to the door. “Love, it may be a little too late for that.”

I turn catching her line of sight and let out a gasp—well shit!

Dylan walks through the diner door, not overly dressed but definitely cleaned up. But the thing that really catches my eye is the dozen pink roses he’s carrying in his hand.

“Hey, sorry, I know I’m early. I can wait,” Dylan says as he approaches the counter.

Joan waves him off. “No worries, she’s done. Aren’t you, Velyn?”

Dylan looks to me with a smile and hands me the flowers. “These are for you. Sorry, I don’t know what your favorite flower is, but the lady at the shop said I couldn’t go wrong with pink roses.”

That damn lady at the flower shop!

I nod, offering a smile in return. “They’re beautiful. Thank you.” I turn to Joan. “Would you be able to put these in water for me?” She takes the roses and heads to the back. “I’ll just grab my coat from—"

“Here you go,” Joan bellows as she comes back through the doors; my jacket and purse in hand. “I wouldn’t want you getting lost back there,” she finishes with a smirk.
