felt good.
Her lips settled into a firm line. A reaction like that was all the more reason to end this evening as soon as possible. She carried enough guilt already about Mark. The least she could do was be loyal to him for another year or two. She owed him that.
Because if she’d been more attentive, he might still be alive.
Heart suddenly heavy, Rachel let Fletch lead her in silence as the hostess showed them to one of the umbrella-topped tables on the deck that offered a view of the beach beyond the dunes.
Fletch held her chair as she sat, then took the one at a right angle to her. “My compliments on your choice of restaurant. If the food is half as good as the view, this might become a regular stop for me.”
“I’ve never had a bad meal here.” She gave the menu a perfunctory scan and set it aside.
“A woman who knows what she wants.” Fletch picked up his own menu and smiled at her.
She found herself staring at the killer dimple that appeared in his cheek. How come she hadn’t noticed it before?
Then again, they hadn’t done a lot of smiling at each other up until now.
“Rachel?”
She tore her gaze from the dimple. “What?”
“I asked if you have any recommendations.”
“Oh.” She settled her napkin on her lap and dug around in her purse for her sunglasses. “You can’t go wrong with the catch of the day.”
“Sold.”
Fletch closed his menu as she slipped the glasses over her nose and hid behind the dark lenses. She would not be caught staring at that dimple—or anything else—again.
For a moment, she thought he was going to comment on her transparent strategy. But he let it pass as the waitress arrived to take their orders.
Fletch deferred to her.
