“What else are you eating?�
“Just the salad.�
Hero frowned at that. “Bernie,� he said to the waiter. “Could you please give us a minute?�
“Sure, Mr. Hero. Take your time.�
Hero waited until they were gone before he leaned forward. “I know you’re hungry, Heroine.. What did you eat for lunch? Half a deli sandwich?�
His question surprised her. “How did you know that?�
“It was a guess since I can hear your stomach rumbling.�
She put her hand over her stomach. “I didn’t realize I was so obnoxious.�
He growled at her. Heroine shifted nervously at the sound that wasn’t quite human.
“Look, Heroine,� he said, his voice deep and resonant. “I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t know what I’m doing tonight, okay? I’ve never had a date before and I was told that women liked to be taken out someplace nice to eat. Grace and Amanda said that I should be myself and not try to impress you. So here we are at my favorite restaurant, but if you don’t like it here, we can go someplace else and eat something you want.�
Heroine’s eyes teared up at his words and what they meant. “You asked someone how to date me?�
He let out a sigh and glanced down at his clenched hands. "Great. Now I've made you sad again. I'm sorry. This was a really bad idea. I'll just take you home and you can forget you ever laid eyes on me."
She reached out and took his hand into hers. "Okay, since we're being honest with each other.I don't know what I'm doing either. A week ago, I knew what I wanted. I was a fairly successful business owner, dating a guy I stupidly thought I loved and one I planned on marrying someday.
"In one afternoon, my entire life shattered and then all of a sudden this great guy comes along like some mythical knight in shining armor. He's gorgeous, loaded, and says all the right things to mee. He makes me feel like I can fly, and every time he shows up, he makes everything better. I'm not used to this, okay? And I'm not used to being with a guy who is so incredibly sexy that he makes me feel like the booby prize. "
"I think you're beautiful, Heroine."
