I couldn’t help but be excited when Garrett’s name popped up on my phone screen Sunday morning to make sure we were still on for the game that afternoon.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail and out the back of my favorite orange Broncos ball cap then put on my Eli Hudson jersey and my favorite pair of light blue jeans. I swiped on far more mascara than necessary for a football game but enough to make my eyes pop from beneath the brim.

“Did you write down all of the details you know about this man so I can find you if you go missing?” My mother asked when I walked up the stairs.

“I sent them to your phone the first time we went on a date.”

She pulled out her flip phone and scrolled through the messages. “I must have deleted it.” She snapped the phone shut. “Send it again.”

“Megan has it. If I go missing, she can send it to you.”

“I just hope you don’t end up like that girl you found out at the reservoir.”

“Mom.” I gasped. “I am most certainly not going to end up missing my head. Garrett is a great guy.”

“When do I get to meet him?”

“Uh . . . maybe in a few more weeks. We’re not that serious yet.”

“I still think you should try again with Luke.”

“Luke has a girlfriend.”

“His mother says they’re on the outs.”

“You’re talking to his mother now?”

“We’ve reconnected since you and Luke worked on that case together.”

“Well, she apparently doesn’t know Luke went to the country club to meet Nikki’s parents.”

“Oh no, we talked about that this morning.”

I didn’t need to hear this. It was Luke’s business, not mine. I was dating Garrett now.

“Do you want to know what she said?”

Yes. “No, it’s okay.”

“Okay,” my mother said in a sure-you-don’t voice. “But it sounds like he was absolutely miserable there. Didn’t fit in at all.”

“I said I didn’t want to know.” But still, I couldn’t help the smile spreading across my face. “I have to go. Love you.”

“I love you too. Don’t get beheaded.”
