“I feel great Thanks for asking”

“So, you’re over Thursday night?”

“Thursday night… Oh! Was that you who gave me a ride home from Bunco?”

He stopped and looked at her “You weren’t that drunk” Then his gaze narrowed “Were you?”

She wanted to laugh He rinned at her and began walking again “No, I wasn’t that drunk, although,” she frowned, “I have to ad we said to one another”

“Really?”

There was some small inflection in his voice thatI should remember?”

“No,” he said, but Mi a hundred percent truthful “By the way, I haven’t had a chance to thank you for backing me up the other day at lunch With Allie,” he clarified “I’”

“Of course,” she said

“So, how are the plans going?”

“To be honest, we haven’t gotten much further than the date and the church I told her to make up a list of people she wanted to invite Once we have a number we can look into reception venues”

He placed his hand over her arh ahead that he wouldn’t be able to hear them “I know I said it before, but thank you,” he said

“For what?” she squeaked His hand felt warainst her skin She wanted to pull away, but if she did, then he’d know the effect he had on her Although, it was probably moot He’d always known the effect he had on her

“For being there for Allie”

“I love her I’ll always love her…no matter what”
