“I’ll ease up on you.” Jenna hugged her son. “I’ll talk about you behind your back at the spa tomorrow.”
“Spa?” Spencer asked.
“Yes, while you’re out golfing with the boys all of the women are doing a spa day. Coda, you’ll join us.”
“I’m not sure.” Coda had never been to a spa before. She’d seen plenty of them while walking the streets of Manhattan but she’d never had the money to indulge. “We didn’t plan for that.” She looked at Spencer. “I didn’t know you were golfing.”
“Nonsense,” Jenna said. “I’ll go to the front desk and make sure they get you an appointment. They’ll bring extra staff in if they have to. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it right now.”
“You don’t have to do that,” Coda said. “I don’t want to cause a problem.”
“It wouldn’t be any trouble,” Spencer told her.
“I insist,” Jenna said. “All the women are going, including the bridal party.”
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.” Spencer stared into her eyes. “Don’t feel pressured.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Spencer, love,” his mother said. “Why wouldn’t she want to spend a relaxing day at the spa getting pampered? She’ll look even more beautiful for you tomorrow afternoon.”
“I’d like to go.” Coda smiled at Jenna. For whatever reason, his mother made her feel good. Coda wanted to spend time with her and learn more about Spencer.
“Of course. You should go.” Spencer nodded. “Mom, please make the arrangements. Have them charge the services to my account. If you have a problem due to the late notice let me know and I’ll get it done.”
“My dear boy, where do you think you inherited those persuasive skills from?” Jenna laughed. “I’ll take care of everything. I can’t wait to spend some time with you, Coda. I want to hear all about how you met my son.”
“It’s quite a story,” Coda said as Spencer took her hand. “Thanks, Mrs. Cannon.”
“You can call me Jenna. I’ll see you in the dining room.” She made her way to the front desk.
“I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into,” he said. “You’ll be trapped with my mother all day, and she’ll grill you about the two of us.”
“You’re paying me well.” She squeezed his hand. “I can hold my own.”
“I don’t doubt that.”
Chapter 4
Spencer watched asCoda mingled with Tyler and a few of his cousins. She fit right in with his family. He hadn’t expected the girl from Brooklyn to blend as well as she had, but there was nothing predictable about her. The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted to get to know her. How had she managed to dominate his every thought in a matter of hours?
“She’s stunning,” Tara said.
“There’s the beautiful bride.” He hugged his cousin. “I didn’t think I’d ever get a second with you.”
“You’ve been occupied.” She motioned toward Coda. “I was shocked when I heard you were bringing a date.”
