Grant had suggested dinner at The Vineyard Bar and Grill after he closed up the shop. We now sat across from one another studying the menu. The server approached the table and set a glass of white wine in front of me and an ice-cold beer in front of Grant.

“Are you ready to order yet?” she asked, pulling a pad of paper and pen from her apron pocket.

I glanced over at Grant, who still had his face in the menu and was clearly ignoring the fact that the woman had even spoken.

I looked up and smiled. “I’m sorry, but could we have a couple more minutes, please?”

The server was clearly annoyed and shoved the paper and pen back in her apron pocket, turned, and walked away.

I closed my menu and laid it in front of me. Then I looked over to Grant, who appeared to be on edge.

“Is everything okay?”

“Sorry, everything just looks good, and I am starving, which is making it hard to choose,” he said, not lifting his eyes from the menu.

“It’s okay.”

I picked up my glass of wine and took a long sip, then pulled my phone from my pocket, clearing any emails I had already dealt with. I kept looking up at Grant, who sat there with his brow furrowed, still apparently debating on what he wanted for dinner. I knew that there was something else on Grant’s mind other than hunger. He had been quiet the entire way to the shop and all the way to the restaurant. I didn’t know if it had something to do with what had happened between us last night or if he had found something out today about Jace. Regardless, I planned to find out what it was.

After another few long minutes, he closed the menu with force and set it down on the table, picking up his beer and taking a swig, directing his attention to the hockey game that was playing on the screen behind the bar, once again ignoring me.

“Did you decide?”

“Yep, think I’ll have the chicken.”

“You think?” I let out a laugh. “You’ve been studying that menu for almost twenty minutes.”

He shrugged. “Still undecided. Between that and the burger.”

I nodded and took a sip of my wine. The server had come back, and once our order had gone in and they had delivered another round of drinks, I sat there looking out the window as Grant continued to watch the game. He had barely looked at me since he had picked me up.

A few more sips of wine mixed with an empty stomach, and I suddenly had an insurmountable amount of courage. I put my glass down, crossed my arms in front of me, leaned forward and looked directly at him.

“It’s last night, isn’t it?” I choked out.

“Huh? What? What’s last night?”

“Grant, please stop. You’ve barely looked in my direction, and you haven’t said much more than two words to me since you picked me up.”

He blew out a breath. “Becca, I have said more than two words to you.
