She might be able to bluff her way past other men, but Nick had always been able to see right through her. “We haven’t set a date yet.” Which was true, so there was no reason for him to doubt her. Alistair’s posture stiffened beside her.
It was not her imagination. There was definitely an undercurrent between the two men, which was odd since they were friends, and she was friends with both of them. Nick was like another big brother, while Alistair… there was nothing brotherly about Alistair. Last night they had been almost as intimate as lovers.
She glanced between the two men again. Could it be? She stretched up on her tiptoes and pulled down on his shoulder so she could kiss Nick on the cheek. “I’m so glad you were in port last night. Don’t know what we would have done otherwise.”
