She smiled. “I can’t remember the last time I went out for a burger.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll pick you up at seven.” He saw her attention was elsewhere.

She beckoned to DeeDee to come over. DeeDee walked up to the side of the table and stopped.

“I see I’ve been replaced,” she smiled.

Eric looked up. “I’m sorry.” He stood up.

“Who’s your friend, Olivia?”

“Dr. Eric King, DeeDee Matthews.”

“Nice to meet you,” he shook her hand.

“Likewise.” She sat down, and Eric pushed her chair in.

“If you’ll excuse me. I’ll leave you ladies to your lunch.” He lingered a few seconds before leaving.

Olivia watched him walk away and DeeDee turned around watching him. She turned back to face Olivia. “So that’s him.” She placed her napkin in her lap.

“Who?”

“The man you’ve been seeing and the reason you invited me to lunch.” She sipped her water and smiled.

“He’s not the reason I invited you to lunch.” She smiled.

“Olivia, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were in love.” Olivia smiled and sipped her wine. “Oh, my God. You are.”

“Who said anything about…how’s Mike?”

“Oh no, you don’t. I want to know all about the doctor.”

“There’s not much to tell.”

“The smile on your face says otherwise.”

“Shhh…the last thing I need is for some nosey reporter or blogger to hear you.”

She looked around. “Honey, the only people in here are too stuffy to know what a blog is.” They laughed.

“But that doesn’t stop them from talking.”

“Who cares what they say?”

“I do. My father definitely does.” She sipped he

r wine. “So, how is Mike?”

“He’s fine. He likes his new position.”

“That’s good. What about…”

“Back up, Missy.”

“What?”

“We’re not skating over the new man in your life.”
