“Do I?!”
The pair talked until Leilani’s order was ready. “I’ve got to get back to work, but give me your number. I can recommend some trails and parks for you to check out.”
“That sounds great! You’d really do that?”
“Of course. I remember when I first moved here how hard it was to find good trails, I imagine it's even harder with a dog to think about.”
“It definitely can be.”
“Then I’m happy to help. Let me know if you need someone to show you around too. Even if I’m not free, I probably know someone who is.”
“Thanks, I’ll probably take you up on that.”
As she took her phone back, she saw that the woman’s name was Veronica.
Leilani grabbed her order and made her way back to the station. Everyone was immediately on her, claiming their orders.
She laughed as everyone snatched their things. “Vultures, all of you.”
“You love it,” Sierra grinned.
Rory snorted.
“Besides, if you don’t want to deal with it, you can always stop offering to pick things up for us while you go on your lunch.”
“Pardon me for being nice,” Leilani rolled her eyes. “And I believe I only offered for one of you.”
“But I asked nicely,” Sierra pouted.
“You did, so I brought it for you. By the way, Rory,” she turned her attention to the other woman as they sat down and started to eat. “I met someone who’s in the area for work. She’s got a super nice dog and was looking for good hiking trails. I know you like dogs, and um, women, and I thought you might know a few for her to check out.”
Rory chuckled, rolling her eyes. “Seriously? I told you to drop it and yet here you are, plotting.”
“What? What did I do? I’m not plotting anything!”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. You got a girlfriend so now you’re trying to play matchmaker?”
“Who said anything about a date? I just thought you might be able to help her out. After all, who knows the parks here better than you?”
The woman did not look impressed.
“What? What’s that face?”
“You know why I’m making this face.”
“Oh come on. I didn’t even do anything this time.”
“Yet.”
Leilani rolled her eyes, pouting as she took her seat. “I really wasn’t even trying to set you up.”
“No?”
“No!”
She rolled her eyes. “Whatever you say.”
“So, to be clear, you don’t want to meet her?”
