I wanted Cami, and I wanted this day to be great for her.

"You're close to your brothers' significant others?"

"Yes. They're all fantastic women," I said as I brought up Diane's number. "My brothers are very lucky."

I kissed Cami's shoulder before texting Diane.

Maddox: Hey, do you have any groups today where you can add two more people?

I was surprised when she started typing right away.

Diane: Sure, of course. I'm doing a 19th-century-themed one starting at 11. Is it for you?

I hesitated. I had to be very careful about this.

Maddox: For me and a friend.

Diane: You're both welcome.

She added a smiley face too.

I looked up at Cami. "Diane says we're in."

"When does the tour start?" she asked.

"At eleven o'clock."

"That's good," she said, running a hand through her hair, "because I'm going to need to buy something else to wear."

The second she said it, I realized she was right. "We'll go to a department store. What exactly do you want to buy?"

"Jeans or some sort of pants, a sweater, some boots or sneakers."

"Then let's get going. We don’t have too much time."

Cami was smiling from ear to ear.

"What?" I asked.

"I like the turn this day's taking."

"So do I."

Chapter Twenty-One

Cami

As soon as we were in the car, I started feeling more than self-conscious about my outfit. In broad daylight, it was totally out of place.

Yep, walk of shame. That’s me.

But I actually didn’t feel that way. Being with Maddox felt right, and even though I was in last night’s clothes, being with him was comfortable. I was very happy to be spending the day in Boston with this intriguing man. Yesterday, I’d figured it was a booty call, which I was more than fine with. But this was turning out to be something entirely different.

"Where are we going?”

“Is Bloomingdale's all right for you?”

That was a hell no. It wasn’t just outside my price range—it was in another galaxy.
