“Ask me anything.”

“You want more than Matt? Or is he enough?”

“I’ve always wanted one or two more.” I shrugged. “Just never found anyone I wanted to spend my life with.”

“And now?”

“Maybe.” I flashed him a smile,

“Maybe, huh?” He shook his head. “I get you cupcakes, take you to the nicest restaurant …”

Giggling, I leaned into his ear. “Hey, Doc, can I tell you something?”

“Of course.”

“The perfect date for me? Pizza, beer, and you.”

I waved to Peter and his brother as we walked by their table.

“It’s a good thing I love kissing.”

“This mouth is all mine.” I growled and nipped her bottom lip.

“Yes, sir.”

I listened to her call in the order, and I drove over to the brewery. “Be right back.”

Dashing in, the bar was packed. Once I made my way through the crowd, Ronnie looked at me with a stunned look.

“Shouldn’t you be on a date?”

“I am and now we need some beer.”

“For what?” She snapped. “You’re supposed to take her to dinner?”

Paul gave me a thumbs up and disappeared into the back.

Leaning over the bar, I motioned for her to come closer. “Know what Edie’s favorite date is?”

“No. Because in all the years I’ve known her she’s not gone on one.”

“My woman wants pizza and beer.”
