When Jack pulled up to the front doors of the office, he gave me his cell and ordered me to plug in my address and phone number. Then I reached for the door and said, “Thanks a lot for the picnic, Jack. It was sweet of you, and the food was amazing. I don’t think any guy has ever gone through that much trouble just to feed me lunch.”

He grabbed my arm. “You’re welcome, honey. I’m happy you liked the food. And the company, I hope?” He leaned in to kiss me. His face changed, and he asked, “Did your ex contact you again?”

I slumped over. Was this why he took me out? To check if Gabe was still being a dick? “No, and he won’t. Something shiny will come along and take his attention away from me.”

“I want you to call me immediately if he does. Deal?” God, he looked so worried. Why? The man hardly even knew me.

“Deal.” I sighed.

“Bye, gorgeous,” he said and kissed my nose. I did my best to smile, but I felt sick thinking that he only took me out to check on Gabe. Shit.

Once I opened the office doors, his car engine revved out of the parking lot.

Two crazy women and two very messy, very adorable boys greeted me. The crazy women were beaming insane smiles at me. The sweet boys were covered head to toe in ketchup. Well, not quite but pretty darn close.

“Who had French fries for lunch?” I raised my eyebrows and hands.

“We did, Auntie Harper. How’d you know?” Nicki asked, cocking his head to the side suspiciously.

“Hey, yeah, how did you know?” Levi chimed in, as he wiped more ketchup from his face onto his light green shirt. Yikes. I’d have to ask Audrey what kind of stain remover she used. Whatever she had worked like dynamite.

“Just a good guess, that’s all. And what did your mommy and Auntie Vivienne have for lunch? A big fat gossip burger with a side of idle chatter?” I said and narrowed my eyes at the women as I stashed my purse.

“Well, we didn’t have a hot restaurateur sandwich with a side of broad shoulders like you did, that’s for sure,” Audrey said and both she and Vivienne exploded into roaring laughter.

“You guys are nuts. Nothing happened.”

“Nothing happened. Then why is there grass in your hair?” Vivienne said, pulling out a few pieces and handing them to me.

“Looks like our girl got some fun in the sun,” Vivienne screeched, and again they both cackled like a couple of old women. “He came in and scooped you up like a scene from a Brat Pack movie. It was awesome.”

“Oh my gosh, you guys are bad. First, he apologized for acting like a…” I said and adjusted my speech for our present company. “Dufus. Then we ate his picnic lunch by the lake. I had no idea that place even existed, but it was so nice and peaceful there.” I kept talking while I kicked Vivienne out of my chair and sat down and checked my computer.
