having,” they said almost in unison, both voices coming out rather gravely.
    It took great effort for Sarah not to roll her eyes.
    She had a feeling she’d just lost her date. But that was okay. She wasn’t looking for the same thing as Hayden, at least not yet.
    And Josh, well, he was just Josh.

Chapter 3
    J osh pushed the container of Moo Goo Gai Pan across the table to Sarah. “You can have the rest. What I really want is more sweet and sour chicken.”
    As he looked up, Sarah batted her eyelashes. “Did you want double sauce with that?” she asked, her voice coming low and breathy.
    Mid-chew, Josh nearly choked.
    Sarah patted him on the back while he coughed, unable to speak, and barely able to breathe.
    She leaned closer. Her voice deepened into almost a Southern drawl. “Oh, can one of you boys take some of my fries? I just can’t eat all this. They’re so very good, you know.”
    He pressed his fist into his chest and cleared his throat, still coughing a little as he spoke. “I didn’t know you could be so catty, and I don’t mean the kind you make appointments for.”
    She made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a snort. “Sorry, but it was just too easy. Seriously, what were you thinking when you asked her out? She’s not exactly your type.”
    Visions of Crystal, both before and after their last-minute dinner idea, flashed through his mind. The woman he’d picked up hadn’t been the same as the one at the restaurant. “For your information, she’s not like that at all. You met her at Stan and Amber’s wedding. You also see her at church on Sundays.”
    â€œYes, but I’ve never really spoken to her. I was running around the wedding taking care of too many details to make chit-chat. I’ve talked to her a few times at church, but it’s always been in a large group and she never said much. I’ve never spoken to her privately. Maybe now I know why.”
    Josh reached for the chicken, then opted for the chow mein instead. It didn’t have sauce. “She’s the math teacher at the high school, and she told me she volunteered to lead the drama club. She was trying to explain something about method acting before we got there, and I scoffed at it. I think she did that to get back at me. Then I guess I got caught up in watching the show.”
    Sarah made that unladylike sound again and rolled her eyes. “I won’t comment on that.”
    â€œYou’ve got to admit, she’s a good actress. She sure had my attention. Hayden’s, too.” Josh reached for the sweet and sour chicken after all and helped himself, blocking out some of the rather provocative moves Crystal had made. He honestly hadn’t seen it coming. Thinking back, he was quite disappointed in himself for falling for it. That would never happen again. It had taught him a lesson about himself that wasn’t very flattering.
    But one thing it had shown him was that he’d definitely been single too long. He’d been completely enraptured by Crystal’s antics, even though he knew she wasn’t really like that. Stan was right. It was time for him to start looking and settle down if he’d been so easily flummoxed by a pretty face and show of blatant stupidity. Crystal wasn’t unintelligent; she had a university education and was a high school math teacher. He’d barely passed the basic bookkeeping courses he’d taken when he went to business college, and she was teaching calculus to stubborn teenagers. Yet, last night, he’d wanted to be the big strong hero for the dumb blonde.
    Not only was she smarter than him, she was way smarter. She’d played him well, even if it had just been for the duration of their meal.
    He helped himself to more of the fried rice, speaking without looking at Sarah. “I think I might ask her out again. What about you? Are you going to go out with Hayden
