“Are you done flying for the day?” I asked.
He nodded. I glanced at my watch. “Want to go grab dinner somewhere?”
“Dude, it's yoga night.”
“Oh fuck,” I groaned.
Tucker's eyes twinkled as he grinned.
“Should I just not go?”
“Nope, that'll make it worse. Deal with it. Enjoy the awkward.”
ChapterTwenty-One
HARLEY
I didn't know what the hell was going on, but Diego was tense, and Grant was acting weird. As a result, I was anxious. Yoga class, which was my happy place where I was supposed to be able to relax, was freaking tense.
I could feel Diego's gaze boring into me between every posture. He’d practically glared at me when he came in. He always stood in the front. He was the model student now that he and Gemma were all in love and happy.
When Gemma came around to me where I was in my favorite place, way over to the side, I whispered, “What’s up with Diego?”
“I wouldn't worry about it,” she whispered. “Focus on yourself. Stretch up into my touch.” She put the palm of her hand lightly above my fingertips, and I stretched up. “Focus on your body and your breathing,” she said softly before moving along.
I tried to follow her advice, but when I glanced over at Grant, he looked worried. A part of me wanted to skip dinner afterward, but it would be obvious because this was a staff night dinner. When dinner was for the guests, some of us cut out and did our own thing. But tonight, it would be noticed if I wasn’t there. Plus, the only way I could maybe suss out what was up was to be there.
When I walked into the kitchen, Cat glanced back and forth between Grant and me, giving me a knowing smile. She was savoring the knowledge of her secret a little too much for my comfort. I ignored her and went to the table, sitting between Cammi and Skylar.
Skylar smiled at me. “Hey, hey,” I said. “How's it going?”
“Good,” Skylar offered.
I glanced at Cammi. “You?”
“Great. I love the website. I need a little help, though,” she replied.
“With what?”
“I have more orders than I expected.”
“Oh, online orders?” I prompted.
She nodded, her eyes wide. “I thought it would make it easier for my regular customers to be able to order online, but now lots of people are doing it.”
“Do you want more online orders?” I asked the obvious.
“Well, yes, but no.” She looked flustered.
“Okay, so we could make it so they have to sign up for an account. That's a tiny hurdle. Your regular customers will do that, but it’ll weed out others.”
“That would be perfect. I want regulars to be able to order ahead, but I’m still adjusting to having Misty Mountain and twins.”
Cammi had purchased a second café when the previous owners were leaving, and she was still adjusting to the added business. Not to mention the busyness of twin babies. I chatted casually with her and Skylar about this and that. Diego came over. Once again, I felt his eyes on me. He didn't say anything, so I decided to ignore it.
Skylar looked from Diego to me, her lips twitching. “What?” I asked.
‘Nothing,” she replied, her tone way too innocent.
