The rest of the drive made me nervous. My heart wouldn’t quit racing at the speed of light. I also felt my palms starting to sweat.
I hoped that Dax couldn’t tell how I was feeling. He continued to drive without a care in the world. I still hoped that
this was only a friendly lunch. I may have been jumping to conclusions. A man and a woman could have a meal without it meaning something more.
I tried to distract myself and attempted to talk with Dax. “So, can I have a hint at where we’re going?”
Dax shook his head and replied, “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“Are we even close to it?”
“We’ll be there in a few minutes. Someone seems excited to get there.”
“I’m just dying to know where we’re going. You’re being too mysterious.”
Dax chuckled a little and said, “I thought women liked mystery.”
How could he say something like that so casually? I had no idea how to respond to his comment.
