“I’m just so pleased she finally figured it out, Ray.”
Luna couldn’t help but smile at Davis’s comment. “I know, I know.”
Hudson wore a tiny frown. “And are you happy, Luna?”
She gave him her biggest smile and looked directly in his eyes so he would know she was telling the truth. “Happier than I’ve ever been.”
Hudson relaxed, and so did Luna and Reagan. “That’s wonderful.”
“How about the two of you? When are you getting hitched?”
Davis knew he’d hit his mark by the storm clouds that gathered in Hudson’s eyes. “When we feel like it.”
“Hudson, honey, don’t be defensive.” Reagan smiled at Davis. “Soon after I graduate, I think.”
“Still trying to prove a point?”
Their food came and Davis had to wait for his answer. Luna nudged his calf with the toe of her shoe, and he rubbed her thigh. He trailed his hand up under her dress and heard her sharp intake of breath.
“Davis just thinks the two of you are obviously destined to be together.” Luna pushed her drink away from her plate and tried not to make any sudden moves. His hand wasso close.
“Dear?” he said in her ear. She trembled. “You did say it wasn’t a problem if I couldn’t keep my hands to myself.”
She faced him. “We’re in public, with friends on the other side of the table. Knock it off.”
He put his hands back where they belonged, but she was in for it when they got in the car later.
“So we’re thinking the summer after I graduate,” Reagan answered the original question.
“That sounds nice. We’ll have to get together and make plans for it.”
“He hasn’t proposed yet, Luna,” Davis pointed out.
Luna gritted her teeth. “But theyaretalking about it. Can we change the subject?”
“Let’s just eat,” Reagan said instead.
Davis couldn’t wait for the meal to be over.
