“Oh! I’d love to meet her.”
“I’m sure she’d like to meet you too.”
“I’ll let you two get back to dinner. I’m sorry I interrupted your date. Thanks again for the book. It was really interesting.”
“It’s okay, sweetheart, and you’re welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed it.”
“Bye, Ava.” Ella smiled as she gave her a small wave.
“Bye, Ella. My gosh, she’s adorable.”
“Yeah. She’s a great kid. I’ve never known anyone as smart as her.” I smiled.
I stood up from my seat, grabbed the small remote from the kitchen counter, and turned on some music.
“Would you like to dance with me?” I extended my hand.
“I would love to.” She smiled as she placed her hand in mine.
I held her hand as my other arm wrapped tightly around her waist.
“You told her about me?” Ava’s brow arched. “Does your whole family know?”
“I’m sure they do by now. I didn’t exactly come out and tell her. She saw me researching it.”
“Your family must think I’m a freak.”
“Why would you say that?” My brows furrowed.
“Because, like I told you before, people can’t understand.”
“My family isn’t like that, and once you get to know them, you’ll see for yourself. They are the most incredible and kind people I’ve ever known. They don’t judge anyone. Well, except maybe Aunt Barb.” I chuckled.
“Aunt Barb?”
“She’s a story for another time.”
“Simon doesn’t like me.”
“That’s not true. He just didn’t know the truth. He’s an amazing guy. I have to ask you something, and I need the truth.”
“Okay.”
“Why did Freya front that night at the bar?”
“I was wondering when you were going to ask me that. I don’t know, Grayson, and that’s the truth. Oh, God. Not now.” She inhaled a deep breath.
“Ava, are you okay?”
She leaned closer and lay her head on my shoulder. Suddenly, she lifted her head, and the corners of her mouth curved upward.
“Hello again, handsome.”
I narrowed my eyes for a moment as I stared at her.
“Freya?”
“The one and only. You want an answer that she can’t give you. Only I can.”
