Chapter 30
Jared’s first question was about my lunch plans.
The scent of roses intensified as he approached. I schooled my features into indifference. “Cafeteria.”
Our company cafeteria would make me special dishes if I asked.

Jared’s inner circle consisted of three childhood friends–two men and a woman, one couple dating since college.
In six years of marriage, I’d met them maybe five times. His invitation caught me off guard.

I gave a small smile. “Complete closet overhaul. What do you think of the dress?”
