“Sure, sounds good.”

“Now will you tell me where we’re going?”

“I’ll give you a hint, Mickey and Minnie.”

She squealed, delightedly. “We’re going to Disney World?”

He looked over at her and nodded, his throat tightening seeing the joy on her face. Her smile was devastating.

“You approve?”

“I’ve never been! I feel like my life kind of skipped that part.”

“Stick with me, I’ll show you the world,” Griffin said, then realized that he meant it. He wanted to give her everything she’d ever wanted.

“Oh my God! This is perfect. Thank you.”

“We’re flying down in the company jet. I’ve booked two nights at the Four Seasons. After we check in, we’re going to go insane for a couple of days.”

Penelope detected a bit of jealousy coming from Natalie, the flight attendant. She was pleasant enough, but she could sense a coolness. Penelope couldn’t help but notice the way Natalie looked at Griffin, as though she’d like him to be her next meal. Who could blame her? He was rocking his designer stubble and always managed to pull off a sexy, carelessly cool look. Faded blue jeans hung low on his hips, a Vee-neck white tee shirt molded to his body, biceps strong and tanned, check…check…check…all her boxes.Damn him!

The disguise seemed to be working since neither the pilot nor Natalie had recognized her until Griffin had introduced them. She had to promise the pilot a selfie before disembarking. Natalie was less impressed. Penelope bit back a smile, she certainly didn’t expect her to be asking for an autograph any time soon.

Griffin was acting as excited as a little boy and he pulled out his laptop to show her the things he wanted her to experience while they were at Disney World.

“Number one priority is Haunted Mansion. It’s dark and we’ll ride through it onDoom Buggies…get it?Doombuggies,” he said.

She laughed. “I get it. Is it scary?”

“It’s just fun and silly…nothing jumps out at you. It’s my personal favorite thing there. Sparks my imagination.”

“How many times have you been?”

“At least a half dozen.” He flashed her that killer grin. “What can I say? I’m a big kid.”

“I love this side of you,” she said, her heart melting in her chest. Griffin got real still and looked at her so intently that she had to look away. She swallowed then asked, “What else?”

“Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, which is a wild stunt show with the Indiana Jones movie theme. Now that’s a job I could get into. Then there’s the Kilimanjaro Safari, it’s like going on a real African safari tour. The scariest is Expedition Everest…high speeds, drops, creatures jumping out, backward plummets, a train careening up the mountain. It’s a blast! They closed my previous favorite, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, but they’ve replaced it with Guardians of the Galaxy, and it will be new for both of us. You aren’t afraid of heights, are you?”

“Why?”

“Just answer the question,” he said.

“No.”

“Afraid of the dark?”

“No, but should I be starting to worry here? I know you’re the adventurous sort.”

“Hey at least I’m not asking you to parachute or ride in a glider plane.”

“Do you do that?”

“Guilty. Didn’t I mention that I’m an adrenaline junkie?”

“I may have missed that memo.”

“I’ll take good care of you.”
