Monty narrows her eyes, but I see the grin she’s trying so hard to hide. “You look nice too,” she mumbles, picking up her menu and blocking my view of her.

“Aww, thanks baby.”

“Nope! Don’t call me that.”

“Sweetie pie?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Honey bear.”

“I will leave,” she warns me, making me laugh.

“What looks good?”

“Everything,” she admits. I smile at her, a big, cheesy grin spreading across my face. I’m so damn happy to be sitting here with my future wife.

“Want to share?”

She eyes me for a moment, and I study her. She’s truly stunning. Her red hair is gleaming in the low lighting, and even though she looks annoyed, I can see that she’s having fun. There’s laughter in her blue eyes.

She might not want to admit it, but she’s enjoying our date.

“Depends on what you’re going to order,” Monty says as I grab my menu.

“You get the steak and I’ll get the prime rib?”

“With extra Au Jus?”

“Whatever you want.”

“I want one of every dessert,” she says, and I nod.

“I’ll make that happen.”

She nods, setting her menu aside as our waiter comes to take our order. Monty lets me order for us, and I see her smiling when I order one of every dessert.

As soon as the waiter is gone, I turn back to her.

“So, tell me more about yourself,” I say.

“What do you want to know?”

“Everything, but start with the happy parts.”

“Well, I’m twenty years old. I go to Sequoia University and I’m studying English.”

“I already know all of this. What’s something that I don’t know?”

She scrunches up her nose as she tries to think of something, and I smile softly at how precious and perfect she is.

“Okay, how’s this? I have always wanted to learn how to ride a horse. Sometimes I sit on the front porch and just watch them in their pastures and I wonder what it would be like to gallop around on one of them.”

“I’ll teach you,” I offer instantly, winning me one of her brilliant smiles.

“Thanks. Maybe I’ll take you up on that… or wait. Isn’t Wyatt the one to go to for lessons?”

“I’ll be nicer.”
