“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” I finally asked, needing to know what was going on in her mind.
Sunny immediately startled like she’d been caught doing something she shouldn’t and looked down at her drink.
“I thought maybe if I stared hard enough, I’d be able to tell if you’re secretly married,” she muttered before taking a sip, and I shook my head with a chuckle.
She was right to be cautious, but no.
“Here,” I said, dropping my phone on the bar top. “I’m not married, but you can look through this if you want.”

But on the other hand…
“Hey, do you like to dance?”
