“I disagree.”
“You know what?” She turned and stared into my eyes. “I don’t care if you disagree. The answer is no. I don’t want to have dinner with you.”
The elevator door opened, and we stepped out.
“Why not? Are you afraid one of your alters will come out and scare me off?”
She stopped and looked at me the second we left the medical center. “What the fuck, Grayson?”
“Okay, I shouldn’t have said that, and I apologize. I’m a very persistent man who knows where you live.” The corners of my mouth curved upward.
“So, you’re going to stalk me?” Her brow arched.
“If I have to.”
“I’ll call the police.”
“Have you forgotten that my cousin Simon is a detective?”
“Okay, well, I can’t make any promises that Kate won’t front and kick your ass.”
“Tell her to bring it on.” I held my arms out.
A small smile framed her beautiful face. “Fine. I’ll have dinner with you tonight.”
“Excellent. Be at my house at six o’clock.”
“Your house?” Her brow arched.
“I’m cooking.”
“You cook?”
“Yes, and I’m pretty good at it.”
“Okay. I’ll be over at six o’clock,” she said. “Can I go to my car now?”
“Yeah.” I smiled.
On the way home, I stopped at the grocery store. While I was shopping, I ran into Alex and the kids.
“Hi, Grayson.” She smiled.
“Hey, Alex. Hi, Rory. Hi, Henry.”
“Doing some shopping?” she asked.
“Yeah. I’m cooking for Ava tonight.”
“Ah.” A wide grin crossed her lips. “What are you making?”
“Chicken with a cherry-wine pan sauce, roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, and rolls.”
“Sound delicious. And for dessert?” she asked.
“Shit. I don’t know. I forgot about the dessert. What should I get?”
“Sebastian will take care of you. Give him a call, and you can pick up the dessert on the way home.”
