“Who won you?” Finn asked.
“Theo Goodwill.”
“That old geezer?” He chuckled. “Let’s go grab a drink.” He held out his arm.
Greta hooked her arm in his and turned to me. “Tell Samantha I’ll talk to her later.” She grinned.
Sighing, I tipped my glass of champagne to my lips.
“What is going on?” Sam walked over. “I just saw Greta on the arm of your friend Finn.”
“She walked over to me, looking for you, and Finn asked her if she wanted to grab a drink. I think he may like her.”
“There’s everything to like. She’s an amazing woman and friend.”
“I have no doubt she isn’t. Where’s Zoey?”
Sam whipped her head from side to side and then behind her.
“She was just behind me when we left the bathroom.”
“I see her. She’s over there talking to one of the boys who works here.” I pointed.
“Oh, he’s cute.” Sam smiled.
“I’m starving. Let’s grab some food,” I said.
We were sitting at a table when Zoey walked over.
“Maya just called and asked if I can spend the night tonight and go with her and her parents to Long Island for the day tomorrow,” she said to Sam.
“Sure, honey.”
“The only thing is I need to leave now.”
“I’ll have Ben drive you home, and then over to Maya’s,” I told her, pulling out my phone and texting Ben. “He’s waiting out front for you.”
“Awesome. Thanks, Wes.” Zoey grinned.
With her being gone all night, I’d have Sam all to myself, something I was looking forward to.
I glanced over and noticed Theo Goodwill heading toward us. He seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood, and I knew Sam was about to ruin it. I silently smiled because I never cared much for Theo. If people thought I was bad, clearly, they didn’t know Theo Goodwill.
“Weston, how are you?” he extended his hand.
“Good, Theo.” I shook his hand.
He looked at Sam, who stood there carefully, narrowing her eyes.
“Samantha Hollis, right? English Lit teacher?”
“Yes, that’s correct.” She nodded, her jaw clenched. “So, how have you been since the auction?” She tipped her drink to her lips.
“Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.” He smiled.
“Tell me,” Sam said.
“Tell you what, darling?”
