“Seriously. If she says yes, you can take her to the show, buy her some hot cocoa or a wood-fired pizza or something.”
Marshall snorted. “You eat a lot.”
“So do you. I just admit it.”
Rayden laughed. “The crew had to do taste tests of all the food trucks after rehearsal. She picked some good ones.”
Gerald grinned. “Nice.”
The phone pinged, and all the alphas in the room stared at her. She looked to Gerald, “You are cleared for contact. Her name is Emily; she works at the candy shop. She does coding for recreation and is in her last year of her biomedical degree.”
Gerald handed over his phone, and she put Emily’s number in.
He grinned and darted out of the room. He moved fast for a big guy.
Dane blinked. “You really just had one ready?”
“Sure. I meet people, and most of them like me. I even know several women who found a certain deceased someone disgusting to the point where they left events when he showed up.”
Emmy raised her hand. “I know a lot of single women who throw catered cocktail parties, so do you want them able to cook or not?”
Leon chuckled. “This sounds like decision poker. I will get the cards.”
Dane sighed. “Dad. This isn’t a game. This is my life.”
“And you need more fun in it. I am getting the cards and the markers.”
James shook his head. “I will get them. I love this game.”
Ruby smiled and then got serious. “Have you started a divorce?”
“Annulment. It is being signed on Friday. She entered into the contract under false pretences, and the judge was willing to rush it through considering that Tanner’s family is over the moon to take care of another broodmare.” He looked at her seriously. “You are lucky you avoided that.”
Marshall said softly, “It wasn’t luck. She knew what he was and protected herself with the means at her disposal.”
Leon sighed. “I guess she always has.”
Ruby shrugged and looked up at Rayden. “So, tomorrow, I make a fool out of myself and fall on my ass?”
“You aren’t going to fall. I won’t let you.” He kissed her. “Besides, when you are on the ice, you fly.”
Ruby smiled as James came in with the cards and markers.
Emmy asked, “What are we doing?”
“We write the best candidates on our cards, along with what we think will be attraction points. Like person poker.”
Ruby smiled and handed over three cards and a marker.
Ruby quickly filled out her three and waited for her sister. Then it was cards up and elbows to the table with Dane sitting back with a cup of coffee.
“First, I am leading with the weakest. Old money, medium height, and build. Hobbies are watching other people ride horses and working at a food pantry as a volunteer. She specializes in fundraising.”
Emmy blinked. “Wow. I have a barista with a fresh face. Likes dirty limericks and enjoys witty banter.”
“Investment banker with a heavy volunteering history, great skater, and amazing sense of humour. If she falls, she gets up.”
Emmy smiled. “Sous chef at one of the best restaurants in town. Extensively well travelled. Up for anything and doesn’t date much because of her schedule, but she does like the idea of an alpha, but she hasn’t dated one yet.”
