We were a bit overdressed, but Owen had shed his tie and jacket in the car. He’d unbuttoned the top couple of buttons from his dark gray dress shirt and it left me completely distracted. It made me want to unbutton a few more. “Hey you,” I said giving Cassie a hug. “I am so glad you guys came! How was the reunion? Lame? Oh my God you must be Owen. You are yummy.” Her questions ran together and I didn’t even bother answering any of them. I couldn’t even blame it on the alcohol she’d been drinking. She was always like this. Owen laughed and shook her hand. “Hi, it’s nice to meet you. Cassie, right?” he asked giving her one of his classic, charming Owen smiles. I laughed as I watched it dazzle Cassie just a little bit. “Yeah. Cassie. I’ve heard so much about you. Good stuff mostly. Let’s get you guys a drink,” she bubbled over with personality and I couldn’t help but laugh at her. You put Cassie in a party atmosphere and she pretty much became the party. She was the epitome of living it up. I admired that about her.
