Fortunately, when I woke up in the B&B the next morning, I could remember all of the night’s events, and I didn’t think I’d done anything embarrassing like declare my undying love for a librarian I’d only seen twice in my life.
Unfortunately, my crush did get the better of me at breakfast when I told my best friend I was excited about the double date we’d planned. She rolled her eyes and said, “You do remember we live in the States, and these two men are fully grounded here in Scotland, right?”
I did remember, but I had been trying to forget. “Of course,” I said, “but stranger things have happened.”
“In Hallmark movies, Poe. Hallmark movies. Unless you’re planning on opening a Scottish-themed soap shop back in Virginia, I think it’s best we consider tonight an evening with new friends.”
