Krystal’s pov
“Honey, they're here.” Judy said into her phone without shame when Colt and I joined her at the table.
She didn't bring up what had happened at the boutique, so I decided to hold back too. This was framed as a simple dinner but I knew what it was; our first battle. It was a chance to size each other up and the first time Colt and I would be selling our couple ‘act’ if we slipped here then the road might just continue to be slippery afterwards.
“Hans got stuck in traffic, he'll be here soon. Maybe we should order wine and get to know each other,” I had to admit one thing about Judy, her lack of shame allowed her to carry herself with a grace she didn't deserve.
“Why didn't Hans come with you?” Colt asked her, his voice as sharp as a knife and straight to the point.
