" Enough to gather that we're going to a party tonight," said Jordan. " I heard about the Ironworks event. I'm not in the Garroway pack, so I wasn't invited." " I guess you're coming as my date now."

6 " Maybe I shouldn't scare off my date so quickly by shooting guns and telling stories about vomit, but, hey, the sooner he knows the real me, the better. "

7 " She licked her lips, swallowing a few times before her soft voice reached him. “It makes no sense, but I’m glad my date never showed. I think I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be tonight. "
