at him. The gleam in his eyes told her that he was deliberately making her squirm. “Whatever happened to that plan of yours for us to go to a cabin? Now is the perfect time. We’re both without jobs and don’t have any real commitments. Once the bar takes off, we won’t be able to take time off for a long time.”
     
    He rubbed a finger on his lips. “I’m almost scared to plan that. Every time we do so, something bad happens. That cabin is jinxed.”
     
    “Don’t be silly.” She waved a hand. The waiter chose that moment to bring their food. Once he left, she picked up her knife and fork. “Let’s do that this weekend. It will be fun, and we will come back relaxed enough to tackle the rest of the tasks. There is a lot of work that we need to do once the location is finalized. Not to mention the décor and the purchases, but also we will need to hire staff.”
     
    He grimaced. “It’s a good thing you’ve agreed to manage the staff. I don’t think I have the patience to train waitresses. Some of them can be quite moody.”
     
    “Hey, watch it. Not more than a week ago, I was a waitress,” she said. “Actually, I do intend to keep doing that for at least a couple of hours a day.”
     
    “Why?”
     
    “It’s the best way to know how the customers are reacting to the food and service. If we want to provide them with the best possible experience, we need to know their problems, and as a waitress, I will know each little detail first hand.”
     
    He shrugged. “If that’s what you want, I certainly won’t stop you.”
     
    As they ate, they discussed the rest of the details. There was one thing she admired about Chance; he had an open and flexible mind. Even if he didn’t agree with an idea, he was always willing to listen to someone else’s opinion, and then change his mind if he believed he was wrong. It would be fun to work with him. She was quite looking forward to their business venture; it would be a true delight.

    Now that they had finalized the location of their bar, Chance felt more confident about everything else. As he drove the car, Chance’s mind was still on the myriad details they needed to fix in order to get the bar going. There was a lot of work that they needed to complete, but it wasn’t possible to do it all at once. Yet, he was hopeful that things would progress at a smooth rate.
     
    Riley yawned beside him. “How long is it going to take?”
     
    He spared a glance at her. Dressed in shorts and a tank top, she looked relaxed. Chance was glad that he took her suggestion seriously. They were off to his friend’s cabin next to the beach. It would be a wonderful weekend and three days later, they would come back and renew their plans. “Another hour, love.”
     
    “I can’t wait to sit on the beach,” she said. “Hearing the sound of ocean waves is kinda soothing, isn’t it?”
     
    “Sure is.” As they reached a juncture, Chance noticed a car behind him. He wasn’t sure which turn to take and the car crossed by them and went straight. He took a right turn. “I am a beach buff myself. Can’t wait to make love to you on the beach.”
     
    “Hey.” She slapped him on the arm. Then, she considered. “Is it mostly deserted?”
     
    “There is not another cabin for miles. My friend is somewhat of a loner, and he goes there to seek peace or whatever the hell he needs to do to recharge. There is a fishing pier about a mile away, and he spends most of his time there.”
     
    “You can be sure we won’t be spending any time there.” She glanced at him. “You’re not one of those men who can wait for hours to catch a fish now, are you?”
     
    “Honey, there isn’t a man alive in this world who can focus on fish when you are there.”
     
    She nodded. A grin spread over her lips. “Good answer. I believe I will allow you to make love to me under the moonlight on the beach.”
     
    “I have died and gone to heaven,” he
