He doesn’t deserve peace.”
“Amen to that.”
| told her about how | was babysitting Alexander's blind date, and she gasped, saying that something like that
was way above my job
description. We gossiped about a few other trivial things, and the knot in my chest loosened slightly.
It was nice to have a friend.
*Alexander*
My hand tightened around my fork as | glanced over at Olivia. She seemed engrossed with her meal and was
chatting on her phone and smiling. Annoyance washed over me. How could she seem so unaffected by the fact
that | was on a date? | had even caught her flirting with her waiter earlier. When | saw that, | had almost
shattered my wineglass.
“So, what do you think?”
With effort, | tore my gaze away from Olivia and focused back on my blind date.

| sighed and swallowed another mouthful of wine. | needed something stronger to get through this night.
“Naomi...I think that you're a lovely woman, but we aren't right for each other. Going on another date wouldn't
be fair to you. | couldn't put my all into a relationship right now.
Her brow furrowed, and her bottom lip jutted out. “Why?”
“It’s...personal.” | shifted in my seat and cleared my throat.
“What kind of women do you like then? Why wouldn't you be interested in someone like me?” she asked and
gestured to her slim, toned figure.
On their own accord, my eyes flitted to Olivia.
Naomi followed my gaze and snorted. “Ah, so you like women with healthy appetites?”
After | had my fill, | asked my server to wrap up my leftovers. When | looked up to see how Alexander's date was
going, my stomach dropped.
