“So I settled on both of their top three favorite breakfast spots.” He guided me over and pulled out a chair for me. “Let’s eat, baby. Maybe you can tell me what the hell we’re eating once you try it.”

“I’m excited.”

“Well, I’m nervous.” He frowned and stared at the table. “I swear I heard one of them used the French word for ‘tongue.’”

“Whoa. I hope there’s tongue on here.” I pumped my fist in the air. “I love beef tongue. When executed well, of course.”

“Of course.” He frowned.

“Stop it.” I unfolded a cloth napkin and set it on my lap. “Oh, what’s the name of the place outside the balcony?”

“Place Vendôme.”

I repeated him.

“Why?” he asked.

“I just don’t want to forget any of this.”

“If you do, we’ll come back.” He shrugged. “Here’s your phone, by the way.” He handed it to me. “It kept ringing and buzzing. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so I took it with me.”

I raised my eyebrows. “Yeah right.”

“What?”

“You didn’t rummage through it, checking out all of my hot lovers’ voicemail messages?” I slid my fingers across the screen to check my missed calls. “Your fiancée called me ten times, Lucy five, and a number I don’t recognize also called. Should I assume it’s Wendy?”

“Yes.” He chewed on a piece of bread. A dark expression shadowed his face. “You like the suite?”

“It’s awesome. How much is it a night?”

“Seven thousand Euros.”

“Whoa. That’s several house payments.” I shook my head and checked my emails. “Are we going to discuss why your women are calling me or are we going to pretend like it’s not happening?”

“I’d rather deal with that when we return to the States.”

I opened an email from Dawn.

Jasmine,

While I welcome you to our unique family, you must be aware of the schedule and rules. Your hysteria and family problems have caused Chase to ignore the schedule. He has missed all of our days. . .

I stopped reading and forwarded the email to him. “Dawn is upset about the schedule.”

He knitted his fingers together. “She expressed that to me on the phone this morning.”

I bet she did.

“Who’s days have you missed?” I asked.

“Let’s eat.” He narrowed his eyes at me.

“Answer me, please.”

“The night we went to Lan was Wendy’s evening. The India trip were Lucy’s and Dawn’s. Today it starts back over, so I will be missing two more dates for each of them.”

“When is my day?”
