I had plans to meet Ryker at a restaurant in a half hour. He wanted to pick me up, but I refused. I didn’t know if Vera would recognize him, but I refused to take the risk. Not yet anyway. “I won’t be too late,” I said. I brushed my hands down the front of the form-fitting red dress I paired with nude-colored heels and a nude-colored purse. Vera folded her arms across her chest. “Why isn’t your date picking you up here?” I cracked the seal on the front door. “Because I didn’t want him to.” We’d already had a variation of this conversation three times in the last hour. She rolled her eyes and flipped her braid over her shoulder. “So you keep telling me.” She leaned her back against the kitchen counter and took a sip of her wine. “But you still won’t tell my why.” “It’s not important.” Her lips pressed into a tight line as she looked between the door and me.
