I reached for her, but he got to her first, pinning her wrist to the table. “You’d really wound my masculinity like that?” Dustin sounded somber.

She didn’t look impressed. “You’d really tie your masculinity to a restaurant bill?”

“Which answer makes you feel better?” I asked.

Adrienne cast a glance in my direction. “Take a guess.”

“Hmm…” Dustin plucked the piece of paper from her fingers. “I’m paying anyway, because it’s my week. You get the next one.”

She didn’t try to break free of his grip. “I’m holding you to that.”

Which meant she and Dustin both planned she’d be here for at least one more breakfast.

The attraction between them was obvious. They might be a cute couple, but more likely they’d be good friends. Dustin wasn’t a commitment kind of guy, which was one of the reasons I liked our friendship. Adrienne very much struck me as a settle-down long-term kind of woman.

Though, maybe they’d be the kind of friends Dustin and I were.

That knot was back in my chest. I gulped down the last of my water to wash away the unwelcome feeling.
