Thank you, so much for thinking of this,” I said and followed him over to yet another dark car with tinted windows. I would always be wary of them for the rest of my life.
    Cade opened the back door for me, and slipped in beside me. “Actually, you better thank Brynn. I haven’t been to Ellis Island since I was a kid, but before we head over there, what do you say we stop for a little brunch at a new restaurant my buddies have been raving about?
    As if on cue, my stomach rumbled and we both let out a small laugh. “I guess my stomach says yes.”
    Cade was Collin’s younger brother, and you couldn’t miss the resemblance. He was a much more relaxed version of Collin, but you could also tell he liked to have a lot more fun. This past week for me had been so crazy and busy that I was starting to look forward to our outing together.
    The conversation flowed effortlessly, and before I knew it we were pulling up to a very swank restaurant that already looked packed. I looked past Cade and must have had a surprised expression.
    “I guess my friends aren’t the only ones talking about this place,” Cade mumbled, and motioned his head toward the building. “Do you still want to try this place, because we can always find somewhere else? I could even see if I could pull some strings and get us in right away?”
    “No, this is great. I don’t mind waiting. I bet anywhere we go will be this busy. It looks really good,” I said and started to follow Cade out of the car. My long hair was in loose curls and they were instantly caught by the light breeze when I exited the car. I should have brought a hair tie, especially for the ferry over to Ellis Island.
    Cade walked straight into the restaurant and spoke to the host. She must have noticed his charm because before I knew it she was twirling her hair and giggling. What was she, nineteen? Twenty? I rolled my eyes but then let it go when he returned with a big smile. “We’re up next,” he said with a wink.
    “She didn’t stand a chance,” I mocked, which earned me a loud laugh from Cade.
    Before he had a chance to retort anything, the young host walked right up to Cade and motioned for us to follow her. I could hear a few moans and grumbles as we walked past the other guests who were waiting.
    When we walked into the main room, I heard Cade say hello to someone else, but I couldn’t make out whom he was talking to. When he finally moved over to the side, I caught a glimpse of a certain face I had tried all night to forget.
    “Emma, Cade, it’s good to see you again,” Greyson Lyons said as he stood and shook hands with Cade.
    Cade looked genuinely happy to see Greyson, and shook his hand right back. “It really is. We didn’t get a chance to catch up last night. We should get together next time I’m in town.”
    A tiny voice in my head kept repeating, “Do not look at Nora, do not look at Nora,” but I failed and glanced over in her direction. The term Ice Bitch took on an entirely new meaning when I caught her scowling at me.
    “That sounds great, Cade, in fact, we just sat down ourselves. Would you two like to join us?” Greyson asked as he motioned for a waiter.
    Cade looked over at me and I must have had a pained expression cross my face because he gave me a questioning look, but ended up turning back toward Greyson and my new nemesis after I waved him off. “That sounds great, man. We can catch up, it’s been a while.”
    Without another word, two more settings were being added to the table and Cade and I joined our new brunch mates. The hostess shrugged and slipped something into Cade’s hand. I could have bet my left arm I knew exactly what it was. Typical.
    Nora looked about as thrilled as I did, but I sucked it up and told myself it would only be an hour or two, max. I could do it.
    “Emma, it’s nice to see you as well,” that smooth voice said as I finally looked over at Greyson. Of course, he looked drop dead gorgeous.
    I took his hand and gave
