I knew he had something special planned the instant I saw him. He picked me up at the library as usual, but finding Mike and Grace in the backseat was a surprise. “Does she know?” Grace asked when Reece started the engine. He looked at me and grinned, “Not yet.” “Know what?” “Where we’re going, silly?” Grace answered. “Where are we going?” “I told you she wouldn’t notice,” Mike snickered. More than a week passed since I confronted Mike, and we hadn’t spoken since. I turned to snap at him and tell him to go jump off a roof, when I started to catch on. Mike had a Yankee Jersey on and Grace wore a Yankee hat. I looked at Reece in his favorite Derek Jeter tee shirt and it all came together. “No way.” “Don’t worry,” Mike teased, “we’ll explain so you can keep up.”
