“Divorced thirty-one years.”

“No significant other?”Jack asked idly.

She shook her head.“None.”

Sebastian frowned.“A beautiful woman like you?I would have thought some lucky man would have snapped you up years ago.”

Lucy was silent.Should she talk more about her life or just let it ride?

Sebastian reached out and covered her hand with his.“It’s okay, Lucy.You don’t know us, so it’s only natural not to want to spill out your life story.But believe it or not, we would love to know about you, love to discover the things you like.You look like an interesting person.”

Jack smiled.“You seem surprised, Lucy.”

“I am.”

“I don’t see why.”Sebastian squeezed her hand.“Who wouldn’t want to know a gorgeous woman like you?”

“You mean that, don’t you?”Lucy said, unable to hide her slightly incredulous tone.

Lucy never imagined that one man let alone two who were both older, attractive, and successful, would be interested in her.She’d persuaded herself that Saturday night meant something for fun, nothing in it.But now it seemed that these two had been honest and wanted to take things further if she were interested.

“Lucy, we did mean the things we said on Saturday night, and we mean them now.Sebastian is right.We reallydowant to get to know you and let you learn about us, if you’d like to.”

She sighed, looking at them both.It was okay for them to say this, but what about her?What happened if she got attached to one of them?How on earth would the other take it?She certainly didn’t want to come between their obvious deep friendship.

Sebastian removed his hand and, as he smiled, she noticed he had dimples.

“Let’s just take it one day at a time.Who knows what’s around the corner?”

“I can do that.”

“Perfect.”Sebastian looked at his watch.“It’s almost six.Let’s go inside and grab a table before the big dinner rush.”

Chapter Ten

The three stood andJack led the way into the restaurant.He waved to the maître d’hôtel and then asked where they could sit.
