‘What’s you plans for tomorrow?’ David asks me from the kitchen. ‘I want to take you on a date.’

I throw Break The Piece on the coffee table and take a seat at the kitchen island opposite him.

‘You want to take me on a date?’

‘I thought it was overdue. We spoke about telling everyone about us. Now seems like a good time, don’t you think?’

‘Why, because some time travelling Irish girl showed up and told you to save me from my crazy ex and marry me and adopt my child?’

David lets out a breath and leans over the island, getting closer to me. ‘She said you were my wife in the future. She didn’t tell me to marry you right away. Besides, don’t you think if we kept dating and getting on as well as we do, that things would get serious between us? Heck, I already think seriously about you.’ He places a kiss on the tip of my nose.

‘I do, but I don’t want anything to influence your decisions.’

‘What about your decisions? Are you so impenetrable to time travel influences you’re only worried about me?’

‘I’m worried about you derailing your life for some young single mom you pity.’

David rounds the counter and snakes his arms around my waist. ‘Stella, when I look at you, pity is certainly not something that comes to mind. Dropping to my knees begging to be yours, maybe.’ He kisses my neck. ‘We’re dating already. Your mom knows about us. It’s just the going out sort of dates that need to start happening. Let’s keep dating until you’re ready to take the next step. But I want to take you out in public where we can hold hands and eat ice-cream and kiss in the middle of the street.’

‘Where do you want to go?’

‘This is your town. Where do you want to go?’

‘What have you still to see?’

‘Most things. I’ve seen the university and Rodeo Drive. I’ve done the Hollywood tour—’

‘Wait, you’ve done the Hollywood tour?’ I lean back to look him in the eye. ‘Are you fricking kidding me?’

David smirks. ‘Got the tour bus around Beverly Hills, the Hollywood sign and everything.’

‘Ugh, that is so ridiculous.’

‘Only ’cause you’re a local. For anyone who doesn’t live near the mansions and high-rises, this country is an amazing place to visit.’

‘Really, just what is it you find so amazing?’

‘Well, except for the local hotties’—he tugs at my lips with his teeth and pulls me into the crook of his arm, guiding me back to the stove where he stirs the marinara sauce—‘the culture diversity is pretty cool. I mean, I’m from London, but still, over here it’s on a whole other level. Normally we’d need to get on a plane to actually feel like you’re visiting another country. And I travelled a lot with my parents, so I know what I’m talking about. You guys have so many integrated pockets of different cultures all over the city. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai. You only need to spend an hour there, and you feel like you’re in the country.
