“He’s so into you,” Charles said immediately upon her return to the bar. “And you’re into him.”

“Charles!” she said, scandalized. Charles lifted one teasing eyebrow and crossed his arms. In a softer voice, she asked, “You think he likes me?”

“Gay men rarely miss these things,” he said with a shrug. “Did you see how fast he ran inside here? He probably thought that I was trying to put the moves on you.”

“I didn’t even think about that…”

“Yeah, because you know that I’m very much in love with my husband. But, he thought I was some handsome guy trying to bring you to a bar in the middle of the day.” He simmered in knowing that he was right, and she laughed.

“Let’s get to the scotch then.”

The next day, Marcy felt like she was dancing. Even Oliver seemed to be smiling more as she moved throughout the house.

“You excited to see your new friend?” she asked Oliver playfully. The baby babbled something incoherent and began playing with the stuffed animal in front of him. She made their breakfasts, putting on a soft upbeat playlist. She cleaned as she went, feeling a spark of energy as she moved throughout the kitchen and dining room.

Blade was set to arrive in about twenty minutes. Her stomach flipped at the thought of him walking through the door. Suddenly, she was nervous. When was the last time that a crush made her feel this way? She blushed, thinking that it must’ve been all the way back in high school. She’d taken care to dress casual but cute today with a pair of form-fitting jeans and a tight v-neck t-shirt. Jewelry was always off the table with Oliver around though, she thought with a smirk. Her son liked to grab anything and everything. Shiny and dangly things were always off the table.

It was a week until the party. They had the location booked and the preparations made with the vendors. She had hired a small staff to help her the day of, and the hotel they were rented would provide the necessary waitstaff.

“Will you attend as a guest?” Blade asked when he arrived. He came in toting two lattes, a bag of pastries, and a jar of organic apple sauce from the bakery down the street. He glanced down at his moving fist. “I’m guessing Oliver doesn’t take coffee.”

A slow smile found its way to her face. She winked. “You guessed right. And I don’t always attend as a guest to parties. Most people prefer me in a nice blazer with a clipboard.”

Oliver accepted a spoonful of applesauce from Marcy as the adults split their coffee. On her digital tablet, she presented Blade with a sleek presentation.

“I’m not most people,” he said finally. “I’d like you to attend in the same formal wear. You’ve planned for everything. You might as well enjoy your own event.”

“Everything’s prepared except for the band’s music. We went with the string quartet.”

“Right, right,” he muttered as he flipped through the slides with an expert hand.
