I waited for Daryl, and when he pulled up, I got in the front seat, and we took off. No one checked on me, so they wouldn’t even have noticed if I was missing or not.
“You look nice. I like that dress,” Daryl said.
“Thank you, I just felt like looking good.”
“Well, you do, and since the party doesn’t start for another hour, I’m taking you out to dinner,” he smiled and looked at me.
I gave him an angry look, but I wasn’t all that mad. I was starving. With Lisa gone, I hadn’t eaten well.
“All right, where are we going?”
“You’ll see. I just hope I don’t get my ass beaten by Colin or your stalker,” he said jokingly.
“I don’t want you to get hurt again, so we need to be careful. You shouldn’t joke about my stalker when you still have broken ribs from your last encounter,” I replied.
