Chapter 18

  “Us? A couple? What makes you say that?” Isabella asked, feeling a bit curious. “Trust me, I've seen more than my share of couples in love pass through here. You've got that glow about you.”

  “Really? You think so?’ Ethan asked the question. “Love?” Isabella gave utterance to, astonished.

  “Opps, have you not said that to each other yet? Well, I’m so sorry I brought that up and forget I said anything. Consider the Sweetheart Special on the house.”

  Isabella puts the rest of her order before the waitress leaves. She gazes at him, very aware of the silence that settles over the table. Then it hits her, she’s basically on a date with her boss!

  “You doing okay over there?”

  “Oh, yes. I was just thinking about how I've never been here before. It’s nice. I cook all the time, but it always tastes better when someone else does it for you. Especially if your cooking is horrible. Which maybe mine is. Ohmygod I’m going to stop talking now.”
