Though he’d visited her home several times since that fateful night of the reception, today’s visit was different because he was meeting Destiny’s mother for the first time. After they ate lunch, he was driving them to the airport. Destiny had hinted that lunch was her mother’s idea. And he knew enough about mothers to understand the woman wanted to check him out. He didn’t mind though. It was only natural that a mother would want to meet the new man in town who was dating her daughter and was also her boss. Well, sort of her boss. No, his uneasiness did not come solely from concern about meeting Destiny’s mom. Much of his uneasiness was based in the half-truths he’d told Destiny, from his relationship with Phil to what he knew about what was going on with HR Solutions. If what was growing between them was to have any chance at all, he needed to come clean with her. He’d decided to wait until after her return from California so that she could enjoy her trip without the cloud of what he had to tell her hanging over her head.
