Liberty or Ellis Island. We’re going to go ancestor hunting and see where this gorgeous face comes from.”
    Greyson seemed to perk up a little. I’d figured everyone on this small island found the Statue of Liberty taboo. I didn’t know why, but I didn’t want Greyson to see me as a newbie tourist. I wanted him to see me as a businesswoman who could hang with all the other New Yorkers. I did relax a little, though, when he continued. “I haven’t been to Ellis Island or the Statue of Liberty in a very long time.”
    Nora rolled her eyes and puffed out a little sigh. “Yes, it was probably when you were eight when all the rest of the children go.”
    Greyson shot Nora a disapproving look, but Nora didn’t even flinch. Greyson seemed like a great guy. I couldn’t imagine him marrying a woman like Nora.
    “Well, why don’t you two join us?” Cade asked, his expression genuinely welcoming.
    Nora brushed her hand across her chest in a very overdramatic way, “Oh, I don’t think we can. I have a lot of errands to run for the wedding, and Greyson was just saying how busy he is at work. We better pass.”
    I let out a breath and felt like a huge anvil had been taken off my chest and I could finally breathe again. That was until Greyson piped in. “Nora, I could use a minute away. I may go ahead and join Cade and Emma, but you can finish your errands. I’ll meet you later this afternoon.”
    Nora looked like Greyson had shoved a hot fireball in her mouth, because she was about to blow. There was no way she was going to let Greyson tag along with us, even though it was pretty obvious that Cade and I were on a date.
    After a few calming breaths, Nora looked back over at Cade and me. “Well, I suppose Greyson does have a point. It would be nice to take an afternoon off from the wedding planning and work.”
    I inwardly cringed. So close, I was so close. Just as I was about to bow out and suggest we do it another time, Greyson cleared his throat and put his hand up. “Nora, really. It’s okay. Call Caroline, and you two can check off a few more items from your list. I’ll call you when I’m back, and we can see where you are from there.” With that, the conversation seemed final. Good for Greyson.
    I couldn’t help but smile over at Nora. If one thing was certain, pissing off Nora Mathews was now on my top ten favorite things to do. “Nora, you’ll have to come next time. I've barely heard any of your wedding plans.”
    Nora glared at me and was probably plotting my death, but I was ten minutes away from being free of her so she could glare all she wanted.
    “Well, now that that’s all settled, Greyson, why don’t we ride together?”
    Greyson motioned to the waitress and handed her his card. Cade tried to intervene with his own Visa, but was too late and wiggled his finger toward Greyson. “You little devil, the next brunch is on me.”
    Greyson laughed, and waved him off. “I invited you to join us, and I think I’ll take you up on the ride. That way Nora can have the car with her wedding planner. I may need to stop by work later, if you don’t mind dropping me by?”
    “Of course, and you’re always working,” Cade said with a wink. I think I heard Greyson mumble that he wasn’t one to talk, but before he could get anything else out, our waitress was back with the receipt and we were off to meet our ancestors.

Chapter Nine
     
    “I suppose have fun on your field trip, even though you’re going to be bored out of your mind. I still can’t believe you want to join those two. Really Greyson, we still have so much planning to do for our wedding.” Nora looked agitated while saying goodbye to Greyson.
    I was trying to inconspicuously spy on Greyson and Nora’s conversation, but I was cut short when Greyson’s car pulled up to the curb and interrupted their heated discussion. Nora was angry, and she was not doing anything to hide it. I couldn’t help but wonder what their situation was. Maybe she
