Chapter 11

“So, this place we’re going for dinner, have you been there before?”

“No. First time. I heard about it from a friend and thought we’d try it out.”

“This place is…I had no idea,” I mumbled, hoping I wouldn’t embarrass myself here.

“It’s marvelous, isn’t it? I’ve seen pictures of the place, but in person, it’s something else.” He grabbed the wine menu. “How about champagne to start with?”

“Tell me about you,” Jaiden said, leaning on his elbows. “I want to hear everything.”
