“Jade?” he asked.
He always seemed to think of her first, which was just another reason Jade had fallen so hard for her sexy cowboy.
“I’d love to go, but I know you have family to tend to, and it’s not like we can go together anyway.” His jaw began its clenching dance—confirmation that he hated the deception as much as she did.
He stepped closer to Jade and softened his voice. “I’ll check and see what my family’s doing, but I’ll be there one way or another. Call me and let me know when you’re going.”
Riley shook her head. “I get why you guys have to do this secretive relationship thing, but can I just tell you that anyone who would stand in your way is out of their minds. I mean, just look at you two. It’s like you were made for each other. He looks at you like you are the very oxygen that allows him to breathe, and she looks at you like all googly-eyed, like you’re Brad Pitt or something. And you both look like you’re ready to pounce on each other.”
“Riley!” Jade gasped.
“The girl’s got a good eye,” Rex teased.
