“That’s funny,” Isabella said, although it was very clear she didn’t think any of this was humorous. “In any case, Taylor was not very good. She made a lot of mistakes during tryouts.”

We may have only been dating for a month, but that was long enough for me to know when Isabella was in a bad mood. Hell, even if I had just met her I would have known, because she liked to wear her emotions on her sleeve. She got this way when she didn’t think I was paying enough attention to her.
I cupped her cheek and waited until she looked at me, then I gave her a long, slow kiss. The kind of kiss that went on so long that people started glancing over at our table.
“The only thing I’m thinking about tonight is our anniversary,” I said.
