“Thank you, Senator. She is going to be there. She told me the bank bought a table.” Yeah, this shouldn’t be awkward at all.
“Good. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to see her.” He turns to Sabrina. “Alright, your mother and I are leaving. I expect you to be behind us.” He leans in and kisses her head. “Love you.”
Sabrina’s mother grabs the senator’s arm. “We have to leave now, Harrison.” She’s dressed in an ice-blue gown to match her ice-cold heart. My mother’s words from earlier this week ring out in my head. The senator may be the politician in this family, but I think Brina’s mom is the shark.
We watch them leave, and I silently thank God we aren’t expected to go in the limo with them. Then I turn back to my perfect princess. “I have something for you.” I pull the teal blue box wrapped with the little white ribbon out of my pocket. “As soon as I saw this, I knew it had to be yours, Princess.” I grab one of her hands, turn it over and place the box in her open palm.
Jesus, I might as well be holding my heart in my hand instead of this damn box.
“Aiden, you didn’t need to get me anything.” She pulls on the white ribbon, then cracks the box open.
“I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to.”
Her arms are thrown around my neck. “I love it.”
I kiss her lips quickly, scared I’ll ruin her makeup. “It made me think of you. You don’t have to wear it tonight.”
Sabrina places the box on the table next to us and hands me the bracelet. “Will you please put it on me?”
It fits her perfectly. Thank God. This is the first time I’ve ever bought anyone jewelry. Maybe Jamie does know a thing or two. Sabrina brushes her lips over mine, and it takes every ounce of restraint I have not to deepen this kiss.
“You ready to get going? I don’t want to show up late and piss your parents off.”
She turns, grabbing a sparkly silver purse off the table and linking her arm through mine.
“Your chariot awaits.”
