I blinked a few times, confused by the sudden change.
"I think so," I told her. "But can we go?" She frowned.
"Not until we shopped until our hearts contents," she said, grabbing my arm. "Let's keep them busy." I didn't want to stay in this place, but I didn't argue. An hour later, we were leaving with arms of bags. Thankfully, Leroy was still out front, so we were able to drop off our shopping bags with him while we continued to shop.

"I know the orders," she said bitterly. "But we can manage dinner without an audience. Please... I just need sspace, and I'd like to eat in peace." "Well, what are we supposed to do?" The other one asked.
"I don't care. Stay here with Leroy," she suggested. "That way you'll be in range if anything happens." They looked uncertain, but they soon relented with a head nod.
"Okay, but the first sign of danger and we are getting you out of there," he said, folding his arms across his chest.
Irene smiled sweetly and turned on her heel, motioning forto follow. We went into a gorgeous small restaurant, and we were greeted by the hostess immediately. She knew Irene and greeted her by name, barely sparinga glance.
Irene ordered us each a glass of white wine and glasses of lemon water while we looked over the menu. I finally settled on a BLT sandwich with a side of coleslaw and Irene ordered a Greek salad. Once we put our orders in, we remained silent for a long while, sipping on our glasses of wine and staring at our empty plates.
Irene looked uneasy and I knew there was something on her mind. She wanted to talk toduring dinner and I guessed it was difficult for her to bring up. I sighed and cleared my throat, bringing her attention to me.
"You said you wanted to talk about something," I reminded her.
She nodded and bit her lower lip.
"It's about Ethan," she said in a whisper. She looked around to make sure no one was listening to our conversation.

"Are you sleeping with him?" She blurted.
I gasped at her erupt question and nearly shot to my feet. But I kept my composure and just stared ath her, dumbfounded. Why would she think we were sleeping together? Had I done something to make her think this? When I didn't respond right away, Irene winced.
"I'm sorry, but I need to know if you are sleeping with my fiancé, Judy..." "Of course, I'm not," I told her in a harsh whisper. "Why would you think that?" She bit her lip and chewed on it for a moment.
"Because you both act strangely around one another," she answered. "You get weird and Ethan... well Ethan can't take his eyes off you." I felt heat rushing to my cheeks. She truly was observant.
"I'm not sleeping with him," I assured her. "I barely even know him. We are from the spacks knew him before you introduced us. But I would never sleep with him knowing he's in a relationship with someone else," I assured her.
