MIA FELT GOOD LIKE, REALLY GOOD SHE’D HAD SUCH an a time today with Nathan, Wendy and Jamal Plus, she was pretty inebriated, so that didn’t hurt

They’d hit four wineries and she’d had plenty to drink She laid her head back on the plump leather of the limo and closed her eyes, and before she knew it she was asleep She slept the entire ride back to the lodge, only waking when Nathan jostled her

Ugh Now her mouth felt like cotton and she had a headache She went upstairs to her room and downed two full bottles of water and popped some pain reliever She lay on her bed and closed her eyes for about half an hour When she woke, she felt i information about their dinner reservation, which was in an hour

As compliments went, that one made her warm all over "Thank you You look incredible"

"Hey, thanks So we both look hot" He held out his arht so all oing with you tonight"

"Yeah, but we’re the third and fourth to Wendy and Jamal And we’re friends I want you to be my official date, the woman on ht, and I’ll only have eyes for you"

She laughed She couldn’t say no to that, especially with the way she felt "I accept"

Wendy had arranged a lie du Soleil, a restaurant perched on top of a hill The views of the valley were spectacular

"I could stare at this view all day and night," Wendy said as they walked up to the restaurant

"It’s a" The hilltop where the restaurant was located offered stunning views of Napa hills and valleys She wondered how the restaurant got their guests to leave If it were up to her, she’d stay for hours just to gape at the vistas

They were fortunately seated at a table right by the floor-to-ceiling hich meant the expansive scenery was theirs for the duration of their ," Mia said to Wendy as they sat "What a wonderful suggestion"
