scolded before spinning Danni around and thoroughly kissing her. It went on for quite some time until Will finally coughed. Tucker grinned as he pulled away.
    “Sorry, it’s an occupational hazard. You should’ve seen us on our date night. The waiter had to bring our starters back three times.”
    “Tucker, I’m not sure everyone needs to hear that story.” Color mounted on Danni’s cheeks but Tucker just laughed some more.
    “I’m sure they’ve done worse. Will never was one for following the rules. Come on, brother, tell us what you two have done on date night.”
    “Um, nothing, on account of the fact that we’re not a married couple with four kids. We don’t have a date night.”
    “What do you mean you don’t have a date night? That makes no sense. Everyone needs a date night.” Deep lines marked Tucker’s brow, making him look almost comical.
    “You’ll have to excuse my romantic fiancé.” Danni gave Tucker an affectionate pat on the arm. “He thinks that what works for us will work for everyone. Besides, Will and Riley only get to see each other in person for a few weeks at a time. I’m sure that every night is a date night for them.”
    “Er, yeah.” Riley tried to look as loving as she possibly could. It probably wasn’t a good time to mention that her idea of a date night normally involved re-reading
Pride and Prejudice
while wearing her sweats and eating ice cream. “Every night is date night for us.”
    “I still don’t like it,” Tucker muttered.
    “Nonsense,” Danni cut in before giving them both an apologetic smile as she dragged Tucker toward her. “Besides, right now all I’m interested in is how romantic you are.”
    “Challenge accepted,” Tucker said as he kissed her again. This time, he showed no sign of stopping. Will groaned as he nodded for Riley to join him over by the bar. She followed, careful not to touch him. Since when did her best friend need to come with a warning label?
    “I think we’re going to be getting a lot more of that over the next few days,” he said. “So, what were you two talking about before I came over?”
    “Oh.” The swirling sensation in the pit of her stomach disappeared as she recalled their conversation. “Nothing. Just stuff.”
    “Riley, you are many wonderful things, but a liar isn’t one of them,” Will chided as his dimples danced around his cheeks. “Let me guess, she mentioned my father and Lisa.”
    “I’m sorry.” She sighed while making a mental note to work on her lying skills. Tomorrow she’d have to check out the non-fiction books about body language. “She didn’t mean to. She was just thanking me for convincing you to come to the wedding. Tucker thought you might not make it. Then Lisa’s name came up. Apparently she’s been trying to apologize to you.”
    “Is that right.” Will’s jaw flickered for just a moment before he let out a sigh. “Sorry, ignore me. I always knew that it would be like this. That people would try and get me to sit down with the old man or make small talk with Lisa, as if it would somehow magically fix everything. Now do you see why I needed your help?”
    “I guess.” Riley let out the breath that she didn’t know she was holding. “So you’re not mad?”
    “No,” he said in a light voice, but before he could say anything else one of Danni’s bridesmaids walked past and gave him a curious stare, which caused Will to frown. “And by the way, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with this haircut? That’s the third time that girl’s looked at me like that, and I know at the library you said it was because they want us to date. But here everyone already thinks that we
are
dating.”
    “Oh.” Riley wrinkled her nose as she suddenly remembered her previous conversation. She really had been making a night of talking about him. “Actually, that might’ve been my fault. They asked when we first kissed and so I told them the spider story.”
    Will’s pale blue eyes
