Acting on some parallel cosmic impulse, we both reached for the champagne glass at the exact same time and knocked it on its side. It didn’t break. Of course not. If it could withstand Groom Daddy’s affections it could withstand anything. Brad reached for my hand with one of his and used his other one to hand me the glass. I took it but he didn’t let go and we became a completed electrical circuit. Switched on.
“You gonna keep it?” he asked, lightly rubbing my palm with his thumb, increasing the voltage.
I barely nodded.
“Good,” he whispered.
Another nod from me. What that thumb was doing to my insides!
“And, Dylan,” he said in that soft, growly voice of his. “I wanna promise you something…”
This time, I just let my eyebrows speak. Up they went.
Both of them. I sat very still, watching him across the table and holding my breath. Waiting with Silence.
“Sky Dylan Stone, I promise I, Bradley Hamilton Davis—”
Oh, nice name. But I wasn’t about to distract him.
“Also known as the Brad Davis and Brad Davis of Dallas—”
No breath would pass my lips until he finished.
“—will never, ever—” he said, dropping his voice even more, but still managing to heat up the “ever.” He paused and looked right into my eyes. Both of them. At the same time. And his thumb kept circling my palm. “—ever…call you Dill.”
I took a deep breath and looked past his upturned lips, straight into the quiet of his charcoal eyes and I felt the rubber bands around my heart begin to snap apart, one by one, and that big, hard knot inside of me start to melt away. And I fell again, for the second time that day. Crashed hard. But this time there was no puffy orange dress to break my fall.
