“I know that,” she grumbled.
“Then act like it.”
“I am.I had dinner with him.In fact, I spent the rest of the evening with him.”
“Okay.I get the point.So, what do you have planned for today?”
Coffee and then a shower.In that order.But she knew it wasn’t what her friend was referring to.
“I don’t have any plans with Brad.”
“Make some plans quickly.He’s leaving today.But his flight isn’t until this evening.Gotta go.Bye.”
And then the phone went dead.Abby sat there, wondering if Sadie was right.Was it her turn to ask Brad to do something?It’d been a while since she’d asked someone out.
But this didn’t have to be a date.It could just be a couple of friends doing something fun together.But what?
He woke up with a smile on his face.
It was a good day.A very good day.Brad stretched out on the couch, not anxious to move just yet.
“And what has you smiling?”
He turned to see Reed headed to the coffeemaker.“Why not smile?It’s a beautiful morning.”
Reed opened the blinds.“It’s cloudy, and it’s snowing.That’s beautiful?”
“It’s all about your frame of mind.”
“Uh-huh.”Reed sent him a look of disbelief.“And would this sunny frame of mind have anything to do with you getting in late last night?”
Brad stood and straightened his sweats, then he folded the blanket and laid it on top of the pillow.
He chose to ignore Reed’s question.“Thanks for the couch.Did you know that it’s lumpy?”
Reed nodded as he put water in the reservoir of the coffeemaker.“But beggars can’t be choosers.”
He had a point there.“So, what are you up to today?”
Before Reed could answer that question, Brad’s phone went off.He checked the caller ID and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He pressed the phone to his ear.“Good morning, birthday girl.”
“Good morning to you too.Sounds like you’re in a good mood today.”
“Reed just accused me of that too.I told him it’s a beautiful day.What are you up to?”
“You really are in a good mood.Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to go have some fun.”
“Uh...You do know that I have a flight today, right?”
“I do.Sadie told me it’s not until this evening.We still have some time to do something.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“Well, when was the last time you went sled riding?”
He let out a laugh.“It’s been a long time.”His gaze went to the window, where the snow was falling at a steady pace.“I don’t know if I have any clothes for sled riding.”
