We’ve been over this.That will scare her, and she’ll never talk to us again.
She’ll want to at the next full moon,he points out.
I ignore him and make my way toward Adeline.
“Hey,” she says warily as I stop in front of her.
“Getting groceries?”I ask, peeking down at her shopping cart full of flour, sugar, butter, and a bunch of other groceries.
“Yeah.Have to stock up.”
“Are you baking tonight?”
“Yeah.”
“What are you making?”
“Some brownies, chocolate croissants, cupcakes, and fruit tarts.”
“Sounds great.”
She nods, shifting from one foot to the other.
“Listen,” I start, reminding myself to take it slow.“I know we got off on the wrong foot earlier.I’m sorry I came on so strong.I’d like to take you out and prove what I said to you.”
“Prove that we’re meant to be?”she asks in disbelief.
I nod.“Yeah.”
“How?”
“I just need a chance.”
I’m so sure that she’s about to turn me down again.My wolf paces inside me, begging me to bite her, but I hold him back.
“Okay,” she finally says so softly that I think I misheard her.
“Really?”I blurt.
She nods.“Yeah.”
“Great!How about dinner tomorrow night?”
“Okay.What time and where?”
“I’ll pick you up.How does six sound?”
“That works.”
“Here,” I say, grabbing her notepad and pen from her shopping cart and scribbling down my phone number.“You can text or call me with your address.”
“All right.”
“Anything you’re in the mood for?We have a steakhouse or a good Thai restaurant in town.”
“Oh, I’m good with wherever.”
“Okay, well, if you change your mind and want something specific, let me know.”
