“I don’t believe you.”
“I haven’t. I’ve been in the military. If I’d have been here all this time, maybe I would have. I didn’t use the jet in the military.”
So, she was his first. She clinked her glass with his. “Here’s to trying new things.”
“To new things.”
She sipped some champagne. It was delicious. Sweet with a touch of dry.
“Is it the best you’ve ever had?” he asked.
She had to be honest. “Yes.”
“Good. I’m going to give you a lot of those.” He focused on the pages on the table before him, as though what he’d just said was an everyday thing.
“I don’t want you to spend money on me, Carson. I can pay my own way on this trip.”
“Hmm.” He nodded. “I know. But you aren’t going to.”
She twisted on the seat to face him more fully, still holding her glass. “No, Carson.”
He turned his head. “Relax, Georgia. I want to spend money on you. You need someone to spend money on you.”
Their meals arrived, and Georgia refrained from arguing with him. The dishes were gorgeous. She could forget she was on a commercial plane.
She dug in, savoring the flavor of the meat and loving that Carson had thought of this.
Carson stuck a forkful of meat in his mouth, all very not in a posh manner. He was more of a mountain man the way he ate the meat.
She laughed but had to set him straight. “I don’t need any of this. I’m happy with my humble existence. In fact, I prefer it.”
“You need to eat.”
“You know what I mean.” She spread her hand over her plate and lifted her champagne glass.
“Nobody needs it. But it sure is nice. Don’t you agree?” He waited while she debated how to answer.
She couldn’t lie. “It is nice.” But what was nice about it—first-class or him?
