“And what?”
“Why haven’t you?”
My hand pushed through my hair. I instantly knew the reason why.
Rory.
Colton stood up. “Come on. We’re going out.”
With a groan, I shook my head. “No. I’m not in the mood to go out.”
“We’re going to test my theory.”
Standing, I grabbed Flash’s leash. “Oh Christ. This is not going to turn out good.”
He slapped my back and laughed. “Boys’ night out.”
I put Flash’s collar on and headed to the front door. “Let me take Flash out really quick.”
The second I stepped out of the elevator, I grabbed my phone. Pulling up Rory’s number, I smiled. I had gotten her cell number when she’d left her phone sitting on my counter.
“Hello?”
“Evening, beautiful.”
“Um, Finn?”
My heart jumped when she recognized my voice.
“Yep.”
“H-how did you get my number?”
With a lighthearted laugh, I replied, “Wasn’t hard, considering you left your phone sitting right there on my counter.”
With a nervous chuckle, she said, “Oh. I guess that makes sense. Is everything okay?”
“Tell me you’ll have dinner with me tonight.”
“It’s eight-thirty.”
“So? You’ve never eaten dinner late?”
“No. Well I mean, I have. It’s just I can’t. I’m sorry.”
“You got plans with someone else?”
The silence on the other end of the phone bothered the hell out of me.
“Rory?”
“I’m here. No. I don’t have plans with anyone else.”
“Then it’s a date. What time should I pick you up?”
She sighed. “Finn, listen, I’m in the middle of this case and Russell and I will be working long hours and I really can’t afford a distraction right now.”
“A distraction? So that’s what I am?”
