I smirked. “I don’t know. I think I’d rather stay close to home.”
His brows jumped up. “I could cook for us?”
“Now you’re talking my language. Say, six o’clock?”
“I’ll be sure to kick Tristram out of the house.” He laughed, the light finally reaching his blue, blue eyes. “See you at six?”
“Sounds perfect,” I told him.
