"Mom went on a blind date."

Daniel relayed truthfully, "Grandpa really liked him, and Mom seemed pretty into him too."

Isaac hadn't seen this coming. Brittany, fresh from her vacation, choosing to dive into the dating scene was a shocker.

"What did your mom do with him?"

"They had dinner."

"Look, you need to keep an eye on her for the next few days, make sure she doesn't get too chummy with strangers, got it?"

"But what if Mom wants to go-" Daniel hesitated.

"Then you tag along. Gives me a chance to scope out the competition."

Brittany agreeing to a blind date was beyond Isaac's wildest expectations. But then again, he figured, he had probably scared her off.

Ever since his car accident, to the outside world, Isaac was as good as dead. Now, he was just one of Elijah's executives. "Why the sudden rush?" Elijah was curious. Isaac wasn't known for being impulsive.
