“So do you ladies have plans tonight?” Lawson asked them.
Kat watched the two men exchange a look. “Yes,” she said at the same time that Julie answered, “No.” They looked at each other.
“Your plans were canceled,remember?” Julie said, one brow arching slightly—the little matchmaker. She was just as bad as Val.
“Right.” Kat nodded slowly, laughing nervously under her breath. “I guess I forgot about that.” She looked back at Micah. “Looks like I don’t have plans tonight, after all.”
“The thing is, there’s a garden exhibit later.” Micah shoved his hands in the pockets of his perfectly fitted jeans. “I helped create the designs for it. There’ll be miles of a garden that I’d bet gives Eden a run for its money…I’d be honored if you came with us. Both of you.”
Kat wanted to say yes so badly that the only acceptable answer was no. It was on the tip of her lips, ready to leap off, when her sister’s answer came first.
“I wish I could, but I have a, um, thing, I just remembered.” Julie shrugged, her gaze skittering toward Lawson. “But Kat would love to go. Wouldn’t you, sis?” Her thin elbow plowed into Kat’s side, the same way that Lawson’s had done to Micah a few minutes earlier.
After rubbing the spot and slicing her gaze at her matchmaker sister, Kat nodded slowly. She didn’t have one viable excuse not to go. “Yes. Of course.”
