“Why?”
“One of Kitty’s daughters will be in town for the weekend, and I’d like you to take her out.”
“I’m not going on a date with your friend’s daughter.” I cross my arms over my chest and lean back against the wall. Hell, even if I weren’t interested in May, I still wouldn’t take one of her friends’ daughters out on a date. My mother’s friends are all trophy wives, just like her, who I can only assume have raised daughters just like my sister, who all want the same life their mothers have, regardless if they’re actually happy or not.
“You need to settle down. You’re not getting any younger, and neither are your father nor me.”
“If you’re looking for grandkids, talk to your daughter who’s been married for two years.”
“Bridgett is traveling. She’s not ready for children, and I’m not looking for grandkids. I’d like for you to find someone suitable to spend time with.”
“Suitable?” I raise a brow, and she sighs.
“A woman who is educated and comes from a good family,” she says, but what she actually means is a woman who is educated enough to hold a conversation and not embarrass her, and who comes from money—lots of it.
“I don’t need help finding women to date.”
“As I’ve seen some of the women you’ve chosen to spend time with in the past, I beg to differ.” She picks up her glass of wine and stands from the leather chair she was sitting on, with her feet still in the heels she had on when I arrived earlier. “You’ve had plenty of time to sow your wild oats. It’s time for you to grow up.” With that, she walks past me. “I’m going to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow, and you can tell me what you’ve decided about taking Jennifer out.”
“I’m not taking anyone out on a date,” I call to her back, but she doesn’t respond, even though I know she heard me.
With a shake of my head, I go back to the office to say goodbye to my dad, but he’s sleeping, so I say goodnight to Deb and grab Dozer before I leave the house and head home to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, and even if May wants nothing to do with me, I’m not that easy to get rid of when I set my sights on something I want.
