CHAPTER SIX
One Year Later
“What if he’s got tentacles?” Nora asks, leaning over the table toward Ash and I.
“Kinky,” Ash says, and I kick him gently in the ankle.
“I’m more worried that he’s, like, on a disc golf team or something,” she says, ignoring Ash’s comment.
“That’s not that bad,” I say, and Nora makes a face. I don’t have time to find out what she has against disc golf, because that’s when I spot Lucy and her date walking toward us.
And, honestly? He’s a fox. I’m very happy with Ash, my actual boyfriend with whom I go on real dates and who took me on his family vacation this year, but I can appreciate a hot man when I see one.
The three of us all stand when they get to our table, and Lucy’s slightly flushed, nervous and excited all at once.
“Hi, guys,” she says. “This is Ben.”
Ben is looking at Lucy like she hung the moon, and I can’t help but grin.
“Hi,” I say first, and hold out my hand. “I’m so excited to finally meet you!”
