Page 57 of Loving You

“Like what?”

“Like you don’t even know what to think.”

“I don’t.”

“About what?”

“You.”

I grin.

“Well, just ask me something that will help ease your mindso you can focus on work instead of thinking of me all day long.”

He guffaws.

“I won’t be thinking of you all day long.”

“You might now.”

“I won't,” he says quickly, as if that’s the end of the discussion.

“How many more times do you think we’ll run into them in town like this?”

“A lot more.”

“I’m afraid you might be right, and unless we want to have many more super fun and awkward moments like that, we need to knock this thing up a notch to get the point across. If we make them think we are absolutely lovesick, maybe they will avoid us. Cherry especially. Or we could set her up with someone.”

“I see where your mind is going with this, but the only options are another local, and I’m not letting that happen, or a tourist, and I don’t think we will get that lucky. We know?—”

“Danny!” I shout before he can finish.

“What?”

“Let’s set her up with Danny.”

Miles stops.

“Whoa, who said anything about setting them up?”

“Me. It’s perfect. You know her, and I know him.”

“I don’t know her, Quinn. We made out like teenagers maybe three times. That's it.”

“Seriously?” My shoulders drop.

“I would have thought by her behavior that you gave her the best night of her life with those killer listening skills of yours, and now she can’t get you out of her mind. Damn. Like a whole summer of bedroom fun.”

He shivers. “I’m glad I cut it off before it could get that far.”

“Well, I think this could still work.”

“What?”

“Oh my gosh, Miles, keep up. We’re setting Cherry up with Danny.”

“We are not doing any such thing.”

“We are.”
