Chapter 14

Rebecca sat down to lunch with Alison, eager to tell her about the night she’d spent with Patrick over the weekend. Her best friend had sensed that something was up by the excitement in Rebecca’s voice when she’d called earlier, and Alison had convinced her to take a rare lunch outside the office. Normally the two met for dinner since Rebecca was usually tied to her desk catching up on cases from her massive workload or busy in court during the day, but some conversations just weren’t meant to be had around a four-year-old dinner companion. Since she had a rare free day with no court hearings or meetings outside of the office, she’d happily agreed to lunch.

“So tell me,” Alison said, sliding into the booth across from Rebecca at the Italian restaurant they’d chosen. “What’s up? I can tell from the look on your face that it’s good!”

Rebecca laughed, taking a sip of her iced tea. “Oh, it’s good all right.” She thanked the waiter for the breadsticks he set on the table and waited for him to walk away before continuing. After explaining that she’d run into one of the SEALs they’d noticed at dinner a few weeks ago, Rebecca caught her friend up on their encounter on the playground with the kids, the morning she’d spent at the beach with Patrick, and their dinner together on Friday night.

“So wait, the hottie that changed your tire is the one you ran into?”

“The very one. Abby and I ran into him at the playground not long after we saw them that night. He’s got a kid.”

“Divorced?”

“Yeah. But his ex-wife died. The whole story is really sad.”

“Oh my God.”

“Yeah, we didn’t go into it that much, but he certainly gets where I’m coming from.”

“So you guys met at the beach one weekend with the kids and then he took you out on a date date?”

“A date date?” Rebecca asked, a bemused look on her face. “He took me to dinner, yes….”

“Sweetie, the time you spent with the kiddos in tow were more like play dates. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome that you all had a great time. But when a man picks you up for dinner? That is a date date.”

“Well, let’s just say that as great as dinner was, it was not the highlight of the night.”

“You slept with him!”

“Shhh,” Rebecca chastised, looking around. All she needed were for potential clients to hear that their lawyer was sleeping around and come to the wrong conclusions. Or worse, for one of the judges down at the courthouse to hear about it.

Although she had as much right as anyone to be in a relationship, she certainly wasn’t going to flaunt it to everyone within earshot. Or divulge the intimate details. Besides, it was none of their business anyway. She’d dealt with enough over the past year, and while everyone had sympathized with her over the tragic death of her husband, she was determined to keep her private life just that from now on—private.
