How to Keep Rolling After a Fall (28 page)

“I believe restaurants have a no flip-flop policy.” He pointed at her choice of footwear.

Lifting her foot, she examined the bright pink slipper. “These are my favorite pair too. And here I thought glitter was considered formal wear.”

“So you're going to change?”

The hope in his voice made her want to mess with him. “Who said anything about restaurants? I don't have to change for where we're going.”

“And where is that?”

With a cheeky grin, she walked past him to … Jesus, even his car was gorgeous. White with black racing stripes, the Mustang was all hard lines and lean muscle. Just like its driver. Sometimes money wasn't half bad, she caught herself thinking. Caleb ran past her and opened the passenger door. She paused, eyebrow inching up.

“A gentleman,” she said.

He dropped his gaze. Was that pink on the tips of his ears? Her eyes brightened. Oh, he was hiding a blush. She made a mental note to make it a point to unsettle him whenever she got a chance.

Assuming she would get another chance.

“My mother always said it's a man's duty to make a woman happy,” he said, locking gazes with her again.

“And you think opening doors will do that?”

“Just get in.” There was that equally sexy frown she was growing fond of.

“My, you're pushy.” She blew him a kiss before taking a seat. And just as he pushed the door closed, she added, “I like it.”
