They all got out of the booth and walked over to where Bryce and Logan had pushed three tables together, giving them enough space for everyone. Of course, Bryce sat next to Sophie, Lainey sat by Paige, Maisie and India sat down on the other side of the table next to each other, and lastly, Rory and Logan sat down, too, after Rory placed the drinks they had ordered in front of everyone. That left two seats on either side of the table, so Dana took one and Samara sat down across from her.
“Congratulations again,” Samara said quietly.
“Thanks,” Dana replied.
“My agent called to tell me that everything looks good, by the way. He said he’d call you tomorrow to tell you that you’re good to sign.”
“Really?”
Samara nodded.
“That’s amazing. Thank you,” Dana replied.
“Okay, no chocolate in sight,” Candace said, delivering a drink to Dana in a martini glass that had a lime and a cucumber on the edge, with salt on the rim. “Try it. Then, I can tell you what’s in it.”
“That seems risky,” Dana replied, but she picked up the glass and gave it a sniff. “Vodka?”
“Yes.”
Dana took a sip, and it might have been the best drink she’d ever tasted.
“Damn! That’s good. How do you do that?”
“Do what?” Samara asked.
“Candace is one of the best mixologists in the world,” Rory said.
“Really?” Samara asked and then looked at Dana. “CanItry that?”
“You want to try my drink?”
“I assume it’s vegan?” Samara asked Candace.
“What? Yeah, of course. No eggs in this one.”
“Then, yes,” Samara replied before she winked at Dana and took the glass from her.
Her blue eyes practically shone at Dana over the glass as she sipped, and Dana licked her lips.
“That’s delicious,” Samara said. “Wow.”
“Thank you,” Candace replied.
“Can I have one of those?”
“Sure,” Candace said. “I’ll be right back.”
“Hey, we still haven’t ordered,” Bryce said, pointing at Sophie.
“I’ll get it,” Logan said, standing up before Rory could. “You sit and enjoy your Shirley Temple.”
Logan squeezed the back of Rory’s neck and walked off.
“How’s engaged life, Rory?” Sophie asked.
“Amazing.She’samazing,” Rory replied. “I still can’t believe we’re getting married.”
“So, how was the rest of your day?” Dana asked Samara, searching for something to say to her while the rest of them started talking about Logan’s proposal.
