CHAPTER 18

He had an ulterior motive for wanting to lunch at Lucky’s. Not only was it first-class Irish food, but he wanted to invite her for a weekend away. Eating some Irish food might just do the trick.

He waved when he noticed Kayleigh and Harley standing in the entryway. They walked over to the table and took a seat. Finn kissed Kayleigh lightly on the lips. “How do you feel? Not overdoing it, are you?”

She shook her head. “No, just the idiot.”

“The idiot?”

Harley answered for them. “Our boss. If you knew him, you’d understand.”

Finn nodded in understanding. “I think everyone has had a boss like that at least once in their careers.”

Kayleigh giggled. “Who was your idiot?”

He thought about it. “My first job as an attorney, I worked for this firm in Virginia. My aunt Amelia came to the office with one of my cousins, for my birthday. My boss didn’t realize my aunt was African-American and assumed she was the cleaning person. Granted, Aunt Amelia put him in his place really quick.”

Kayleigh smiled. “Good for her. Take no prisoners.”

“You remind me of her,” Finn said.

“Why?”

“You’re both very stubborn. Man, I remember some of the arguments her and my uncle had when I was growing up. They were both stubborn. They just celebrated their forty-seventh wedding anniversary. They always say if it’s not worth fighting for, it’s not important.”

“Very true.”

The waiter appeared and took their orders. It took Kayleigh a while to make up her mind. She seemed so distracted. He wondered if it was anything to do with her illness. She finally settled on shepherd’s pie.

“Are you all right?” He took a drink of his tea.

She looked at him with those big brown eyes that made him want to save her from any and everything. “There’s nothing wrong, Finn. I guess I’m just a little tired.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t go to class tonight?”

“I have to go. I have a test coming up.” She yawned. “I’ll be fine.”

He decided to let it go. No use getting into an argument on her first day back at work. “Okay, you’re calling the shots here.”

Instead of her gloating, she merely nodded. “For now.”

He decided to jump in with both feet. “You know Easter is a three-day weekend. I was thinking we could take a trip to the coast. A friend of mine owns a beach house.”

“Are you asking me to spend Easter weekend with you?”

Kayleigh held her breath as she waited for Finn’s answer. If he was asking her for a weekend getaway, he didn’t consider her a health risk.

“Yes, I’m asking you to spend Easter weekend with me. My family kind of does their own thing on that holiday. My parents will be in town Memorial Day weekend. So save that date, too.”

She dropped the fork she was holding. Things were taking a turn she wasn’t quite ready for. Family interaction. “Are you sure about that, Finn?”

“Yes, I’m sure. Why would you say that?”

She couldn’t tell him the idea of meeting people in his family was scaring her to death.
