“Do you know them?” Max asked.
“Him. Some.”
“You should tell him pink isn’t a man’s color.”
She laughed out loud. “It’s beautiful on him.”
Finn looked over. His eyes widened. He stood, took the woman’s hand and said something to her. They both approached the booth.
“I wanted to say hello, Elise. This is my friend and colleague Juliet Sullivan. She’s a Harmony Healing Collective member.”
Juliet greeted them.
“Hello. I’m so glad to meet you, Juliet. And to see you again, Finn.”
He glanced at Max. “I’m Finn McKenna.”
“Max Goldman.”
“You’re in the movie with Ms. Preston,” Juliet noted. “I’m happy to meet you both.”
“Call me Elise, Juliet. What is your area of specialty?”
“I teach yoga classes. I’m a yoga therapist”
“I love yoga. Maybe I’ll get to take a class.”
“We don’t want to take up too much of your time,” Finn stated. “Enjoy your meal.”
When they left, Max asked, “How do you know that guy? He seemed pretty friendly.”
“None of your business, Max.”
“Maybe.” He winked at her. “Maybe not.”
Dear God in heaven, it was going to be a long night.

Finn smiled over at Juliet. “Wasn’t that fun?”
“It was. Rumor had it she visited the collective today.”
“Yeah, to see me. I think I can help her.”
“You can help anybody, Finn. Reiki is such a specialty and you’re an expert at it.”
Periodically, he’d treated Juliet to some sessions and sat in a couple of her yoga classes. “It’s warm in here. You should take off your sweater.”
“I’m not warm.”
He looked at her askance. “Are you hiding something?”
She sighed and pulled off a sleeve of a sweater. Finn did a double take.
“That’s a nasty bruise you have there.”
“It’s unsightly. Hence the sweater.”
