83

Karter

I quickly make a stop at the flower shop before heading over to Marie's place. She wanted to have the double date at her place and wanted to cook herself.

I was really hoping this could just be a one to one date but Marie set her own conditions. I could always give Liam a call and tell him to make an

excuse and cancel but I can't do that. Marie is starting to trust me again, even something so little might make her change her mind for good. Can't let

that happen now can I? I need to respect her decision and understand that I can't always get what I want.

I stand outside Marie's apartment and fix my hair once before knocking on the door.

Within seconds the door was opened by a gorgeous looking Marie, "Karter? What are you doing here so early? I told you guys to come by 8. It's not even 7

yet."

"I know. But since you offered to cook for us, I wanted to come a little early and help you out with that. After all this is a date." I smile at her.
