“Nothing,” Astrid said, leveling her gaze at me. We’ve been friends for years, and whatever happens between you two won’t change that.”
I nodded, leaned back against the seat, and closed my eyes, thinking about the conversation with Natalie, savoring that last kiss we’d shared before I left her office. “Danielle asked me to be in a relationship with her.”
Natalie huffed. Danni had confessed to not being interested enough in women to be in a relationship with one. Your assistant. I laid back, contemplating what I should tell her… if I could pursue a relationship with her. You could’ve told me not to date him the moment I said anything! “We are,” she said. Deep down, part of me hated doing that. She kept her fingernails short and wore very little jewelry, suggesting practicality. “Do you enjoy women?” I asked. “Smells good,” I said. He’s a prideful man.”
Two waiters attended us, and they both stepped forward to remove the dish covers and reveal a lovely collection of greens topped with a thin pink sauce, sweet potato puree, and a generous cut of lamb covered in gravy.
