“The pursuit of happily ever after.” I peeked at my treasures again.
“Well, well, and cream, too?”
I narrowed my gaze when it landed on the dashing Cameron Cole. He was standing on the other side of the shop’s front window with his phone pressed to his ear. He threw me a wave and headed on in through the door.
He made his way over to my corner table.
Cameron beamed when he saw my shopping bags. “Last time you went on a bender with my American Express card you racked up a one hundred thousand dollar bill. Looks like you’ve lost your edge.”
“Thank you for my new shoes.”
He smirked and rounded the table to sit beside me.
The waitress came over.
Cameron glanced at the menu. “I would have what she’s having only I seem to have forgotten my insulin,” he joked. “Earl Grey, please.”
The waitress hurried off, blushing wildly. This stunning alpha male always had the girls swooning.
“So, how are you?” He dragged my milkshake over to him and took a sip. “Okay, wow. This being a ‘broken woman’ thing has its privileges.”
“Fuck you.”
“Love you.”
“Do you want to see the shoes you bought me?”
“Sure.” He peeked in and cringed. “Those are going back.”
“I like them.”
“They’re a bit shiny.”
“You’re not the one who’ll be wearing them.”
“Good point. They look like happy shoes.”
“They are happy shoes. They’re ‘the world can go fuck itself’ shoes.”
“You really love him?”
“Who?”
“He’s complicated.”
“So am I.”
“Yes, but you don’t have any evil men hunting you down.”
“I haven’t felt this way since…”
“Danton was special.”
“Too special. He ruined me for all other men.”
“You’ve never told me you hate me for what I had you do for him.”
“You mean being with Danton during his final months?” I sighed deeply. “Those were the happiest days of my life. You made that happen, Cameron. Danton changed my life. Good God, he saved it.”
