“Yes, I will be right out.” He walked toward the door but stopped.
“If… if that’s all right with you… I would like to take you to a different restaurant.”
“Why is that?”
“They forced us to marry, at least we can choose our own damn restaurant, don’t you think?”
Ava nodded. “Yes. I like that idea.”
“Great. If you don’t mind, I know a great place.”
“Sure. But didn’t he already make reservations somewhere?”
“So what. It’s not like we have hundreds of people waiting for the happy couple to waltz in, kissing and shimmering like stars. Nobody knows about this.”
“At least that’s good news,” Ava muttered.
“True that. I will meet you outside.”
She nodded and briefly glanced at her empty ring finger. Ben noticed it instantly. He wanted to say something, but what?
Surely, she didn’t want a ring on her finger, or did she?
Gosh, he hated this already. He knew nothing about relationships or what woman really wanted.

Oh boy was he wrong!
