hear their voice.”
    She wanted to have a conversation. This was good.
    “So, you have a dog? What breed?”
    “He’s a pit bull named Blitz. But he’s the sweetest dog ever. I rescued him when he was a puppy. He’s been through all kinds of training and he’s basically as tame as a lap dog.”
    She laughed. “Well, I have a lapdog and she’s the furthest thing from calm or tame. Her name is Scarlett and she’s as feisty and bullheaded as her namesake.”
    “Her namesake?”
    “Scarlett O’Hara. Gone With the Wind? Have you ever read it?”
    Reading was definitely not something he’d done much of in his life. In school he was basically a do-what-you-have-to-do student, nothing more than what had been required. “I haven’t. But there’s a movie, right?”
    More laughter. He liked hearing it. A lot. “Yes. We’ll have to watch it someday. And speaking of movies, I’m totally craving Goonies, a pint of rocky road ice cream, and a Baby Ruth. You game?”
    They did talk about it last night, but was that really what he wanted to do for their first official date? He could do better than that. “I was thinking of something else. I know the chef at Russell’s. He was our wide receiver in high school. I might even be able to get us at his chef’s table in the kitchen.”
    “Really? That sounds so cool.”
    “It is. I did it once. With my mom. He said I can come whenever I want.”
    “And you haven’t taken anyone else?”
    The question kind of took him by surprise. Shit. Did he sound like a loser? “Uh. No. I never really had anyone to take. It’s a nice place and I guess I haven’t really dated anyone seriously.” Damn it. That was even worse. “That came out wrong. I don’t think we’re dating seriously. We just met. Officially. I meant that I never dated anyone before where I wanted to take them out on a real date.”
    He slapped his hand across his eyes, sure he was fucking this up. But amused giggles danced through his earpiece and made him think otherwise.
    “I get what you mean. I think it’s sweet you took your mom there. She must be really special to you.”
    “She was. I miss her like crazy. I can’t believe she’s been gone over a year already.” Had he really just spilled his feelings like that? But with Penny, it felt natural.
    “I’m so sorry,” she said. “That had to be awful.”
    “It was. My mom was everything. She’s the only parent I had and she was way too great of a lady to die so young. I wish I would’ve been able to take better care of her. It was always my plan, but sometimes plans change.” He shouldn’t have said that. He wasn’t going to whine to her about his fuck-ups. “So, do you want to do the chef’s table thing?”
    “Yes. How about Friday? I have the late shift on Saturday, so I don’t have to be up early.”
    “I can’t. I have practice after school, and after that I head over to The Red Brick.”
    “You’re a busy guy.”
    “Actually, all my weekends are like that. I work the bar Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, sometimes other nights, too. Then add in all my football stuff.”
    “Then you tell me. Is there a night that works for you? I’ll make it work for me. If I have the late shift at the shop, I’m sure Mia and Bryn will let me switch, especially if they know who I’m going out with.”
    “Sunday is my one complete day off.”
    “It’s a date then.”
    It was settled. His first official real date with Penny was on Sunday.
    They continued to talk and it was good. One of those conversations that just flowed. And when it hit midnight, and he knew 6 a.m. would come real fast, he still couldn’t hang up. He’d never felt so at ease with a woman. He was excited to see where things went with her.

    PENNY LAY in her bed, lights out, after hanging up with Theo. It was almost one in the morning. It had been a long time since she’d talked with someone for hours. Had she ever even done that with Jack? She sure couldn’t
