Latte Darling: Chapter 59

“That’s the one you want?” I ask, not sure why I expected differently.

Maddie nods, her eyes bright with mischief. “You said I could pick.”

Sighing, I drop the Jailbreak’s keys into her open palm.

“Thanks, Darling,” she grins up at me.

“Be safe.” I palm the back of her head. “And stay away from fucking Costco.”

She starts to laugh but I cut her off with a firm kiss on her lips.

“See you for lunch?” she asks, and I nod.

Then, with my hands in my pockets, I watch her back my favorite car out of the garage.

She’s almost out of sight when the door to the house opens then closes, Brian and his lady friend walk out together. The girl, Cat, climbs into the passenger seat of Brian’s Jeep but he comes over to stand next to me.

Brian claps a hand on my back, “She really has you twisted around her finger, doesn’t she?”

“You have no fucking idea.”

He snickers as he steps away. “However this whole weird thing happened, I’m glad it did. Happiness looks good on you.”
