July 2010 C H A P T E R N I N E T E E N: T H E B R U N C H "I wish you could come with me." Katie groaned as she stretched out under the covers. "I know but I'm busy at work." Vinny lied. He felt terrible for having to lie to her but it was for her own good, he needed to keep some parts of his life a secret, at least for the time being. "I feel so nervous going on my own." She did feel a knot in her stomach although she had agreed with little hesitation at the start to attend the brunch at the Anderson's house. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. And afterward we can go somewhere nice for a couple drinks, I'll be finished whatever I need to do by then at work." The thought of that calmed her nerves a little. "Promise?" she asked despite knowing he wouldn't let her down.
