She looked so excited. It was cute. And when I opened the envelope, I was equally excited.
“You got me Red Sox tickets?” I squealed, leaning across the console to give her a sideways hug.
“We’re sitting in the bleachers with the regular folks,” she told me. “We’ll order hot dogs and beer and have the whole Fenway experience.”
I pumped my fist. “Yes! Can we drive there?”
Jenny gave me an indulgent smile. “You want to play tourist again?”
“Yes, I’ve been dying to go on another road trip.”
We’d taken a couple of weekend trips around the Pacific Northwest, but we hadn’t ventured too far from Seattle. Between our jobs, her father’s wedding, and planning for our house purchase, there hadn’t been a lot of time. But I could easily get a week or two off work to go on a road trip with my love.
“Well, I wouldn’t mind doing some more sightseeing,” she said. “As long as I’m with you, that is.”
“It’s settled then. Road trip. Gas station food. Share-shares at diners. And then baseball. It’ll be the perfect trip.”
“I have one request,” Jenny said.
“What?”
“Let’s not get arrested this time.”
“How about if we get engaged instead?” I asked.
She stared at me for a long time. “Ask me in Chicago.”

Special Preview: Carnal Desire by Reba Bale
“You’re back in Chicago already? I thought you were going to be in Phoenix until tomorrow?”
I nodded my head even though my assistant Theo couldn’t see me. Walking through my front door, I dropped my suitcase in the foyer and headed straight towards the bedroom. I was exhausted and wanted nothing more than a shower, a glass of wine, and a good night’s sleep, in that order.
“You know how much I hate Phoenix,” I said grumpily. “It’s always so fucking hot there. Someone I know was coming to Chicago tonight, so I hitched a ride with them on their private plane.”
Theo chuckled. “I keep telling you that you and your little club should invest in a plane. You’re the only billionaires I know who fly commercial.”
Very few people could get away with calling my ride or dies a ‘little club’. Theo was one of them. He’d known me for years, ever since I’d literally plucked him off the street and given him a job at my company. It had proven to be one of the best decisions I’d ever made. Theo was a loyal and dedicated employee, as well as a good friend.
“I’d rather donate to save the environment than ruin it with private plane pollution.”
Unlike a lot of billionaires in this country, I gave generously to charity. Mostly anonymously. It was a commitment that Grace, Maeve, and I had made to each other years ago – we would use our money to leave the world a better place. Fortunately we all had enough money to live the lives we wanted and meet our charitable goals too.
“You’re all about the environment unless you’re stuck in Phoenix and you have a free ride on a private plan,” he chuckled. “All right then, you have a totally clear weekend and --.”
“What the hell?”
“What’s wrong now?” Theo asked, nonplused by my interruption. Apparently I was ‘a little dramatic’ from time to time, according to my assistant. And my friends.
