“I’d like the check,” Matthew corrected, eyeing the waiter sternly.
“Don’t you dare give it to him!”
“Shall I split it between you?” the waiter asked, his expression that of a deer caught in headlights.
“Yes, we’ll go Dutch.”
Matthew released an exasperated sigh. “Fine,” he said to the waiter. “Split the check.”
Smoke curled into the air from the cigarette clenched between his lips. He leaned against his car and watched the couple coming out of the restaurant across the street. Brief panic grabbed his stomach as the man hesitated, glanced toward him.
In a fit of daring, he’d parked right below the streetlight, which illuminated his blue hood. Now he had to wonder how smart it was to be parked where they might glance over and see him any second. But if Matthew Strong noticed a man leaning against an old blue beater, smoking a cigarette, he made no indication of it. Typical of a politician. Unless there were a baby he could kiss or a cause he could exploit, he wouldn’t take notice of anything past the end of his own nose.
Raven Mahoney glanced at her watch impatiently, waiting for the valet to bring her car around. Her sleek black hair swayed with the jerky movements that clearly stated her irritation.
He’d recognize her anywhere. Even in the misty night, he could see her beauty every bit as defined as on television.
He took a long, slow drag from his cigarette and watched as a champagne-colored luxury car approached. The politician exchanged what was presumably a tip, for his keys. He opened the door to Raven’s car for her and she slid not-so-gracefully inside.
They drove away, leaving him to stare until the taillights vanished from his view. After one last drag from his cigarette, he tossed it to the ground and headed for the driver’s-side door.
Anger burned in him. But now wasn’t the time for a confrontation. That would come later. After everything was in place.
