At some point in their city-wide adventure, Jacqui realized that she was having fun More fun, really, than she’d had in a while Khizar was good coood heart, which Jacqui appreciated

He asked questions about the city as they drove frouide and historian as she told hi and storied history, and Jacqui enjoyed sharing it with someone as so interested

When all the food was handed out, Jacqui gave Khizar directions back to the bakery When he stopped the car in front of her shop, he insisted on her waiting to get out so that he could open her car door

Standing on the sidewalk in front of the door, Khizar took her hand

“Thank you, Jacqui, for helping me today I couldn’t have done it without you”

Jacqui blushed, a little flustered by the attention, but didn’t pull her hand away “I’m happy I could help I had fun today, really!”

Khizar took a deep breath, like he was trying to decide if he should ask her so, so Jacqui waited She was surprised at his question

“Jacqui, I know this is a bit presu?”

Jacqui studied hiether, but she wasn’t sure why he would ask her to dinner Her uncertainly must have shown on her expression, because Khizar worked to convince her

“I already have a reservation for dinner and it’s not a problee it to two people As you are officially the only person I know in Milwaukee, you’d be doing ”

Jacqui cocked her head to one side “I thought you were here on business?”

He conceded her point with a nod

“I as set up and have talked to my contacts over the phone, I haven’t actually ave her a char business with those people, but you, I think I just like talking with in general”

She thought about it and couldn’t think of a reason not to say yes It was just dinner, and it would be nice to have a meal with a handsome man
