ask for someone who knew how to party better than Nate. “Okay.”
    â€œWow, did you really have to think on it?”
    â€œYes,” she said. “I’m not…I don’t make snap decisions.”
    â€œI’ll remember that. Do you need to check in with your sister?”
    â€œYes. Why don’t you come and hang with us for a little while?”
    â€œThat wasn’t what I had in mind.”
    â€œWhat did you have in mind?” she asked. She had no idea why she’d agreed to this and she might be in over her head. She should have eased herself back into the dating scene with one of Courtney’s financial analyst friends or someone that worked at her sister’s law office instead of jumping straight from stay at home every night to Nate Stern.
    â€œYou and me burning up the dance floor.”
    She looked up at him. “I’m not your kind of girl, you know that, right?”
    â€œNo, I don’t. I think you and I are going to get along very well.”
    â€œThat’s what I’m afraid of,” she said under her breath. But in for a penny in for a pound, she thought. She wanted this night and this man so she was going to go for it.
    â€œCome on, Nate. See if you can keep up.”
    He laughed a full robust laugh. It made her smile just to hear it. He was that kind of guy. The kind that knew how to enjoy life, and she realized she needed someone like that. She needed to learn how to go with the flow.
    He took her hand in his big one and led the way into the club, over to where Marcia and Courtney waited. She tried to tell herself that she was in control of this but she had the feeling that Nate was and she wasn’t sure what the outcome would be.

    Marcia and Courtney left at midnight but Nate wasn’t ready to let Jen go yet.
    â€œStay,” he said when they were in the lobby under the beautiful Chihuly glass sculpture depicting the night sky.
    â€œI’m not sure that is wise,” she said. “I have to work tomorrow.”
    â€œNot until the evening. Stay and play with me, Jen,” he said.
    â€œI…okay, why not? What will we do now?”
    â€œThere’s an after-party for the band. It’s up in your court—the rooftop club.”
    â€œOkay. But I can’t stay past two,” she said.
    â€œI won’t hold it against you if you change your mind.”
    â€œAre you really that confident of yourself?” she asked.
    â€œOf course. I know that you are enjoying yourself and your sister told me that you don’t have enough fun.”
    â€œShe said that?”
    â€œYes.”
    â€œWhat else did she say?”
    â€œThat you were her little sister and she’d hurt me if I hurt you.”
    Jen flushed. “She’s just overprotective. Our mom worked a lot when we were growing up and Marcia was the one who always had to watch me.”
    â€œSome habits never die,” Nate said. “It’s the same with Cam and me.”
    â€œI can see that about him. He’s like everyone’s older brother here.”
    â€œHe takes care of family. If you cross him…well, I wouldn’t.”
    â€œMe, either,” Jen said.
    â€œDo you know him well?” Nate asked. It seemed odd to him that he’d just met Jen today and that his brother might have known her longer.
    â€œNot really. But he asked me to serve on the tenth anniversary celebration committee.”
    â€œYes, I am to be on that committee, too, so we will be seeing a lot more of each other.”
    She glanced down and he wondered at her expression. But then T.J. came over and slung an arm around his shoulder. “Buddy, how’s it going?”
    â€œGood,” he said, realizing T.J. was drunk. He was reluctant to stop talking to Jen, now that he was finally learning a little about her, but T.J. needed him.
    â€œLet’s find a table to sit down and chat.”
    â€œNah, I’m making the rounds.
