Greer
In my own defense, the decision to hire a husband wasn’t actually a bad
one. It was the execution where I stumbled.
Yes, I could’ve thought things through better (my tendency to act first
and think second was one of my personality flaws) and sure, I could have
tried to do it the old-fashioned way (really though, who has the time).
The truth was that I never should have scheduled interview possible
husband candidates and last-minute design consultation for my stupid
brother’s teammate on the same night.
Convenience—the location of the restaurant to my hotel, getting both of
these things out of the way at once—and cravings—I would fight someone
over baked ziti—were the drivers for that decision, and no doubt, I could
look back on my desire for cheesy carbs as the thing that caused my
downfall.
The walk from my hotel to the restaurant didn’t take as long as I
thought, so I showed up plenty early and paused before I told her my
reservation name.
In hindsight, this would’ve been the moment to call the entire thing off.
Before giving her my name, I was the only person involved.
Before sitting down in that booth, no one knew what I was attempting.
In my mind, I could see the proverbial door of my escape sliding shut.
My chest went a little tight at the ramifications, but instead of walking
away, I hitched my chin higher and approached the host stand.
“Reservation for Greer Wilder,” I told her.
She gave me a polite smile and grabbed two menus. “Of course. Follow
me, please.”
The booth I requested was in the farthest corner from the entrance,
curved for privacy. In the center of the table was a tasteful arrangement of
short, squat candles flickering with warm light and a bud vase filled with a
single rose.
Perfect.
I gave her a frank look and pulled a fifty out of my purse. “I will need
this table all evening,” I told her.
She arched some seriously perfect eyebrows. “Okay?”
“I’ve allotted a very specific amount of time for each guy I’m meeting,
and as long as no one shows early, it should be just fine.”
Her mouth fell open. “How many dates do you have tonight?”
First, they weren’t actually dates, and for a moment, I considered
explaining that to her. But then there would be questions and judgment, and
I really didn’t feel like pausing for either option.
Second, whatever they were called, I had way too many of them to be
considered sane.
“A few,” I hedged. “I have something very specific I’m looking for.”
A nice smile.
Taller than me.
Relatively sane.
Moderately attractive.
Willing to fake marry a stranger for money.I didn’t say any of that, of course. But nonetheless, when she gave me a
wide-eyed look that straddled the line between worry and awe, I felt a
hysterical bubble claw its way up the back of my throat.
