“It’s gonna take a lot for her to forget about those,” Ethan said. He glanced in the rearview mirror at Seth. “You shouldn’t have gotten so many. You know Cassie has no stopping filter when it comes to sweets,”
“I do too,” I grumbled, hoping they wouldn’t remember my most recent chocolate gorge that ended with my face in the toilet.
Seth shrugged and wrapped an arm around me. “Sorry Cass, I have plans for those
Taking my tongue on the roof of my mouth, I sneered at him. “Yeah, eating them all–how brutally unfair!”
“Don’t worry. You’ll get more than you can handle tonight,” – Seth
said smiling.
He winked at Ethan, who was still looking at us using his mirror. The blush that spread across the bridge of Ethan’s nose and to his cheeks and the flash of lust in his eyes made me wonder if any of us would last through dinner. I was now happier than ever that we decided on fast food, After all, anticipation could kill

When we p
“What a hoot.” I said, smiling at the little girl looking up at me in awe. “You like my dress?”
Black soot lashes blinked over blue–doe eyes as the little girl nodded rapidly, clinging to her mother’s hand as they stood ahead of us in the Wendy’s line. Her short black hair was cut in a bob–like style with longer sections in the front, and her snowy white complexion made me envious. This mini Snow White look–a–like was too adorable.
“You look like a princess!” she said, with a huge smile spreading across her face,
I blinked in mock surprise and placed a hand on my chest. “Me? You ook like Snow White. Do you know who that is?”
The little girl frowned and shook her head. “I know it’s a movie, but ve never seen it.”
“Well, Snow White is the most beautifullest princess in all worlds and, the best part of it all- I said pausing for dramatic effect before I continued, ‘she can sing and talk to animals. How old are you, kiddo?“
“Ten and beautifullest is not a word,” she said, politely correcting my purposeful mistake.
I formed a large O shape with my lips and nodded solemnly. “You’re right. I elbowed Ethan who stood next to me smiling down at the little girl. “Awful smart isn’t she? I knew she was a real princess
Ethan nodded, “Without a doubt!”
She blushed and shot a light–up–the–room smile at her mother who odded thanks at us as she pulled gently on her daughter’s hand so they could go up to the counter and order. That beautiful little ghadn’t been the only one staring at the three of us, but she’d had the most captivated expression.
“Too bad I don’t have black hair like that,” I mumbled. “I wouldn’t mad having a Snow White look–a–like in the future:
“A Cinderella kook–a–like is just as good,” Seth said.
gave him a smiling kiss on his cheek before pinching over the lip–shaped mark on his face, “Aw. You’re so cute!”
We stopped Inward when it was our turn to order and Ethan grimaced as his shoes stuck to the sticky floor. “I think we should eat in the car,” he whispered as Seth ordered for us.
“And muss the way people are looking at us?* 1 toused.

chairs and tables, Ethan complained.
I smacked his shoulder, “Don’t be so stuck up. Besides, we’re here for the stellar food. Don’t worry about the sticky floor. Somebody probably spilled a soda.”
He held his hands up playfully in surrender. “Okay, okay. We’ll stay. Of course, there’s still that beautiful riverfront view…”
“Too cold,” Seth interrupted.
He ushered us to the side as the young man placed a tray in front of us with the three cups turned upside down. I reached for the cups and walked over to the soda machine to fill them up. By the time I finished the once empty tray was filled with hot fries and large bacon–smelling burgers.
