Exclusive Excerpt:
I kissed his chest and rested my head on his shoulder. “Late night?”
“Not too bad. It’s only midnight.” Jean-Claude captured my wrist and kissed my fingers.
“Seems later.”
“You had a busy day. How was Burlington?”
“Fine.” I didn’t want to go into any details now. That shit could wait till morning. “How was your day?”
“Normal day. Nothing exciting till you came by the diner,” he said sleepily.
I buried my face in his neck and smiled. “Mmm. When I was a kid, we had this dinnertime tradition where we’d go around the table and share your favorite and least favorite part of your day. Something good was usually food oriented, like ‘Grandpa took us out for ice cream after school.’ Or ‘Grandma made chocolate chip cookies.’ The worst was always school. Dunno why ’cause school was fine.”
“I bet you were a cute kid—un enfant mignon,” Jean-Claude purred indulgently. “Play your game for me now. What are your best and worst highlights?”
“The doctor says I’ve improved.”
“That’s a good one,” he hummed softly. “And the not so favorite highlight?”
“I dropped half of my fries on the floor in Vinnie’s Jeep.”
“Oh, that’s bad.”
“But they fell on a spare blanket so…I ate them anyway.”
He snorted. “Wise decision.”
We chuckled softly; then Jean-Claude leaned over to turn off the lamp.
My eyes drifted shut as I burrowed under the covers. “What’s your best and worst?”
“Easy. The best was when you walked into the diner, the worst was when you left. Bonne nuit, mon cher.”
I inhaled deeply as if savoring his words. No one had ever said anything like that to me. So simple, so sweet, so…lovely.
I changed my answer.
He was my favorite, and this was by far the best part of my day.
