She felt that Everett was finally showing signs of moving on from his past relationship with Dorothy. It wasn’t an overnight change, but a gradual shift where thoughts of her didn't consume him as much, making him less resistant to the idea of other women in his life.
“Are you done?” he asked.
“Not quite.”
Everett wasn’t interested in her ramblings. Seeing an opportunity, he stood up. “I’m going to head to the restroom. Think about what you want to say, and let’s try to wrap this up in one go. And don’t trick me into another dinner; I won’t be falling for that again.”
Quincy nodded in agreement, “Sure.”
As Everett walked away, Quincy’s gaze lingered on the coffee he had ordered upon arriving.
Today was her only shot.
Chances were, if Everett didn’t end up poisoned, he would never agree to meet her alone again.
Thank goodness for Jonathan Lopez playing matchmaker!
Quincy clenched her fist, then slowly pulled a small vial of liquid from her purse.
…
True to his word, Everett did head to the restroom, taking his time to wash his hands thoroughly before returning.
Seeing Quincy seated elegantly at the table, he knew the deed was probably done.
“Mr. Lopez, you’re back.”
“Yeah.”
He rejoined her at the table, casually picking up his coffee and taking a sip without any hesitation.
Quincy’s eyes followed his every move, a smile playing on her lips. “You really like their coffee here, Mr. Lopez?”
“I’m not here for small talk. If you’ve figured out what you want to say, then out with it.”
He wasn’t one to mince words.
