“Did you hear about Chloe going to the Hawthorne estate and causing a ruckus?” she asked.
“No.” I answered and shrugged as I focused on my meal. “But, I’m glad that Chloe is causing trouble for Ethan. He doesn’t deserve peace.”
“Amen to that.”
I told her about how I was babysitting Alexander’s blind date, and she gasped, saying that something like that was way above my job
description. We gossiped about a few other trivial things, and the knot in my chest loosened slightly.
It was nice to have a friend.
*Alexander*
My hand tightened around my fork as I glanced over at Olivia. She seemed engrossed with her meal and was chatting on her phone and smiling. Annoyance washed over me. How could she seem so unaffected by the fact that I was on a date? I had even caught her flirting with her waiter earlier. When I saw that, I had almost shattered my wineglass.
“So, what do you think?”
With effort, I tore my gaze away from Olivia and focused back on my blind date.
Naomi was staring at me with an expectant smile.

Disappointment flashed in her eyes. “What do you think about coming with me to an art show on Saturday?”
“I’m sorry, I have other plans,” I said and took a sip of my chilled wine.
I seemed to be apologizing to this woman a lot.
Instead of more disappointment, her eyes held determination. “Please, I don’t think this date has gone well. I want to give us another chance to get to know each other.”
I sighed and swallowed another mouthful of wine. I needed something stronger to get through this night.
“Naomi…I think that you’re a lovely woman, but we aren’t right for each other. Going on another date wouldn’t be fair to you. I couldn’t put my all into a relationship right now.

Her brow furrowed, and her bottom lip jutted out. “Why?”
“It’s…personal.” I shifted in my seat and cleared my throat.
“What kind of women do you like then? Why wouldn’t you be interested in someone like me?” she asked and gestured to her slim, toned figure.
On their own accord, my eyes flitted to Olivia.
Naomi followed my gaze and snorted. “Ah, so you like women with healthy appetites?”

Alexander grinned, and he held out his hand to help me stand. As soon as I touched his warm palm, an electric current went up my arm from the contact. He helped me collect my takeout containers and escorted me back outside. The sun had gone down, and the night was dark and cold.
His hand never left mine as we walked. Something that excited and scared me. I had to admit that it felt good to walk out of the restaurant

When we were in the car, I wasn’t in a talkative mood as I stared out
the dark window.
But Alexander had other plans.
“So, what did you think about my date?”
Even hearing her name on his lips made a spark of jealousy flare inside of me. But on the outside, I made sure to keep my expression cool and neutral.
“She’s beautiful,” I admitted. “She seems poised and elegant. No wonder your mother set you up with a woman like that.”
Alexander’s jaw clenched. “Yes, but what did you think of her?”
