Without thinking, Alicia’s nose wrinkled slightly at the mention of mushrooms. She really didn’t like them, but kept that to herself. “Yeah, I have, ooh! They’ve artichoke hearts,” she smiled and looked up at him, fully aware that she needed to stay relaxed and simply forget all talk of girlfriends, both fake and real.

“One time only, though,” she continued. “Spent two weeks of training camp with Pride just outside Napoli three or four years ago. It’s really beautiful there.” With her mind made up about lunch, she closed the menu and set it aside. It had been a while since first her friends, then her family and most recently – about six months ago – that Daniel’s family, too, had started talking about it being time for her to move on, to get back out there and start dating again. And Alicia had tried, she really had, even making it to a couple of second dates, but it just hadn’t felt right. A lot of people, she knew, assumed that what she and Daniel had been superficial and spur of the moment. Granted, things had been fast, if you didn’t take into account the months they had spent being friends because it was inappropriate for her to date the son of her employers. But then the war had started and it had put everything into perspective and just as they had gotten started it had ended, but Alicia had never doubted that it was real for either of them

Then Adrian had become part of her life, become one of her best friend and so completely different from the friends who had known her most of her life. The fact that he hadn’t known her before had turned out to be much more of an advantage than she had expected. He only knew her as she was now and didn’t have any expectations of her to be the same as she had been before, before the twins, before the war, before Daniel, and she wasn’t about to throw that away. After all, how often did you meet someone who was as grouchy and grumpy as Adrian who could still make you smile?


“You?”
