“I knew you were different from other women.”
“Why? What would they choose?”
“The romantic comedy, for sure.”
“Not me. I guess I’m kind of an old-fashioned girl. I think I might have been born in the wrong time. Except that I don’t want to give up the conveniences and I don’t want the limitations put on a woman’s choices.”
“Then the western it is. I was afraid you were just trying to please me.”
“No, I didn’t even think about that,” she confessed.
He laughed and pulled her into a hug. “You are so good for my ego.”
She stepped back from him with a gasp and looked around at the crowd. “John, we’re in public!”
“Quit worrying. You’re allowed a social life.”
“Not with one of my clients!” she snapped, irritated that he would dismiss her concerns.
“So I should have taken you to a cave? Wouldn’t you have been suspicious?”
She drew a deep breath and realized what he said was true. “Oh course, you’re right.”
He put his hand on the small of her back again and escorted her inside the theater. “I hope you saved room for popcorn.”
Diane smiled at him. “Absolutely. But I have to say, that was the best steak I’ve ever eaten.” John had taken her back to the restaurant they’d gone that first night, and it totally lived up to its four-star billing.
“I told you. You should’ve stayed for the meal last time.”
Her eyes danced mischievously when she retorted, “Well, unlike this evening, you made that impossible.”
He looked sheepish. “I hope you know I’ve changed my behavior so it won’t happen again.”
“I’m glad.” Even though she kept reminding herself his behavior didn’t matter. She’d only agreed to one date. One dinner and a movie. One night.
A night that was racing by way too fast.
WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF THE theater, John still had his arm around Diane, where it had been throughout the whole two hours. He leaned down and asked her, “What did you think of the movie?”
