CHAPTER 22

WAY BETTER THAN A PUMPKIN

MACKENZIE

This time, as I am driving along the road that feels like it’s heading into Nowhere Land, at least I know I’m heading in the right direction. I glance down at my incredibly fabulous heels and smile. I never thought when I found these beauties a week ago that I’d have an occasion to wear them so soon. And with the kickin’ magenta dress that Livi helped me to find, they look even more amazing.

It’s been a long time since I last let a guy pick me up for a date instead of driving myself, but I would’ve been fine with Jace picking me up. I had pictured it happening more than once, actually. But he texted an hour ago to say that even though it’s a Saturday, he had to go to work because of an urgent project and asked if I could meet him at Lancaster Business Solutions instead.

He also asked if it is okay if we travel to the gala with his brother Miles, which I’m excited about— I haven’t met him yet.

After how glorious last night was, I’m pretty sure I’d do anything to see Jace today. Even endure looks of disapproval from the receptionist at his work. (Please tell me she doesn’t come in for urgent projects on Saturdays.) After a single kiss from Jace, I’m completely hooked.

In my defense, it was a very long kiss. And unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life. It was the kind of kiss that they base entire movie scripts around. Write songs about. Nations rise and fall because of kisses like that. I’m an addict. Like a raccoon who has discovered where the camper’s stash of Oreos is.

I’ve never related to a raccoon more.

I already got my walk in today before both Livi and Maggie helped me to get my makeup and hair perfect. And to argue over what flags Jace might have— red or otherwise. I still haven’t found one, personally. (Although Livi thinks maybe yellow— incompatibilities that we just haven’t come across yet, and Maggie thinks maybe pink— that one or both of us are wearing rose-colored glasses. Neither have any corroborating evidence to back those theories, though.)

I pull up to the gate, which I now realize I’d guessed would just be open on a Saturday, but nope. It makes sense that it isn’t because if they have data to protect, they can’t have people sneaking in on the weekends to steal it. The same guard from last time, Moss, is there to greet me. I dutifully hand him my license before he even asks.

He doesn’t scan it this time— he just inspects it, goes to the back of my car where I’m sure he’s taking down my license plate number, then returns to my window and hands me my license. “Just head down the drive, and take the fork to the right that leads to the side of the building. Go into the first level of underground parking and park in space A-twelve.
