“You could’ve said so.”
“I thought about it for about thirty seconds. But you were way more appealing than theories of macroeconomics. You didn’t ask who I was, and by the time I realized you thought I was somebody else, I was enjoying our conversation. Something I hope we’ll be able to do tonight. Unless,” he added, “things went awesome with your real date over the weekend and you’re just here out of pity.”
Her lip began to tremble, and for a long, horrible moment, Dillon was afraid she might cry. Both arms wrapped around her middle, she bent double, her shoulders beginning to shake.
Oh God, what did I say wrong?
A burst of sound escaped. She slapped a hand over her mouth, eyes going wide. Then she was laughing, wincing, unable to stop as she said, “Oh my God, it was awful. And you were just sitting over there deliberately provoking me. What was I supposed to do?”
Dillon gave her a sheepish smile. “Sorry about that. I couldn’t help myself. We’d been having such a good conversation and then you looked so…awkward with him.”
“That’s kind of a rule with blind dates.”
“It wasn’t with us,” he pointed out. “There wasn’t a single lull in our conversation.”
“We didn’t have a date,” she clarified, pokering up. “We had an…encounter.”
Warming to the debate, Dillon argued, “We had beverages and conversation. I say that qualifies as a date.”
“It was a pseudo date,” she allowed.
“Well then,” he said, “let’s see if we can do better on the real thing.”
“On one condition.”
Dillon resisted the urge to pump his fist in victory. “Name it, milady.”
“We start with the important things. Like your actual name.”
He grinned and offered his hand. “Dillon Lange.”
She finally smiled as she reached across the table to take it. “Avery Cahill. It’s nice to meet you.”
Can I Ask You A Favor?
These days, it's harder than ever to get a new book noticed. Many of the promotional opportunities out there require a minimum number of reviews—10 at the low end, 50+ at the high. If you enjoyed this book, taking just a minute of your time to click the star rating and write a few words would help me tremendously, and allow me to continue to bring you the stories you enjoy. Just click the link below. (And, of course, if you really loved the story and want to tell Everyone you have Ever Met, please do!)
Thanks so much,

P.S. Keep turning the pages for an excerpt from To Get Me To You, the first book in the Wishful series.
