How thrilling and surprising!

I smiled at Jared. “Nathan dropped by to see me off. Don’t worry. It won’t affect our plans.”

Then I turned to Nathan and teased, “Weren’t you going to bring me coffee?”

Nathan responded right away, “Just a sec, I’ll grab it for you.”

“Okay!” I shot him a nod. He headed to his car, coming back with a to–go cup of coffee in

hand.
