I half-expect Katie to find an excuse and bail last minute on our LA road trip, but when I head outside the next morning, I find her making her way up from her guesthouse, a giant bag slung over her arm.

“I’m sorry, are you planning to head up to Joshua Tree and camp for a few days?” I tease, but Katie laughs.

“I like to be prepared,” she tells me. “And also, am I really going to turn down fresh-baked snacks from Brooke?”

“Good point,” I grin. My nerves melt away, and suddenly, I can’t wait to get the day started—or to get Katie alone. She’s a vision in dark jeans and a silky sleeveless button down, her dark hair held back with a vintage-looking scarf. Enormous tortoiseshell sunglasses take up the whole top half of her face. She looks like an old-fashioned movie star on a day off from filming, and I can’t stop stealing glances at her as I take her bag and head in the direction of my Jeep.

“Hold up,” she says, nodding in the opposite direction. “Change of plans.”

“What do you mean?”

“Selena got . . . excited when she found out I was going with you today. She wants us to take one of her cars,” Katie says, grinning widely.

I pause. “How many does she have?”

“Don’t ask,” Katie says. “The best part is that she doesn’t actually have a driver’s license. But the girl is generous.” She nods at a bright red Porsche convertible, then flashes me a brilliant smile. “Meanwhile, I do have my license. And I’m driving.”

I laugh, charmed. “Go right ahead.”

The car is amazing, and Katie hits the gas hard once we get on the road, weaving expertly in and out of traffic on the freeway. She’s obeying the speed limit, but only barely. She looks perfectly at home behind the wheel, nodding along to the beat of the stereo, her hair streaming out behind her like a dark flag. The whole effect is sexy as all hell, and I think she knows it.

“Whoa there, Fast and Furious,” I say when she speeds up to zip past a giant delivery truck trying to crowd in on our lane. “When you said you were driving, you meant it.”

Katie laughs. “A client of mine was a Formula 1 driver,” she explains. “She gave me lessons as a thank-you gift.”

My eyes widen. “Seriously?”

“Seriously. I have many talents you don’t know about.” She shoots me a flirty grin. “I can also speak passable Cantonese and make pretty decent French pastry.”

“I’ll bet you can.” I gaze at her for another long moment, I can’t help myself. I can’t get over how different she seems these last few days. I think again of what she said the other night in the kitchen, that back when we were dating, she was too insecure to let me get to know the real her. She seems to have gotten over it, that’s for damn sure—and I can’t get enough of what I’m seeing.

“You must meet a lot of interesting characters.
