“You should stop in and see the chief when he’s here. I know that he would love to talk to you about joining the team,” Josh urged.
“I’ll definitely think about it.”
Luke yawned and stretched.
“I’m exhausted. I think that I’m going home to sleep in my brand new bed.”
Luke thought about the shifter war all the way home. He nuked himself a TV dinner and went straight to bed. His last thought as he went to sleep was a brown eyed beauty.
Jamie was working the next morning. He was sure that her face brightened when she saw him walk in.
“Good morning,” Luke said. “How is my favorite barista this morning?”
“Groovy,” Jamie said. “You?”
“Groovy?”
Jamie shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
“I watched a lot ofScooby-Doowhen I was a kid. What can I say?”
“I liked that show.”
“Would you like your usual?” Jamie asked.
“I would, please.”
Jamie made him a large black coffee and grabbed a danish for him.
He paid for it and then asked, “What are you doing tomorrow night?”
“I have no plans,” Jamie said.
“Would you like to go out on a date?” Luke asked, feeling awkward.
It had been a long time since he had asked a woman out.
“I would love to,” Jamie said.
She wrote her number down on a piece of paper and slid it over to him.
“Text me or call me.”
“You bet I will,” Luke said.
He shoved the paper in his pocket and left the café with a smile.

“Are you happy now? I have a date with Luke,” Jamie said, smiling at Clara.
“It doesn’t matter whether I’m happy about it. I’m not the one going out with him, although I am a little disappointed that you didn’t take my advice and ask him out first,” Clara teased.
Jamie grimaced and rolled her eyes exaggeratingly at Clara, who laughed.
Her enthusiasm over the prospect of the date was quickly replaced by worry. She frowned and tapped her fingers on the counter.
