    “Just be yourself,” Leanne said, “If he doesn’t like you for who you really are, it’s not going tost


    anyway. Pretending is just a waste of time.”


    Joy pondered this for a moment and found it quite sensible.


    Just then, Leanne heard the sound of approaching voices.


    “Who’s paying today?”


    “Of course, it’s Curtis.”


    The boastful tone of Devin’s voice made Leanne turn around, just in time to see a waitress dressed in


    the uniform of the diner leading a group of tall, burly young men through the door, their entrance


    drawing many eyes.


    They were arge group and were seated not far from Leanne’s table, making it hard for her not to


    notice them.


    They didn’t sit down right away. Instead, the loud group of guys uniformly greeted her from across the


    space: “Hey, Leanne!”


    The gaze of the other customers quickly turned towards them, and Leanne really wished she could


    pretend she didn’t know them.


    “Why didn’t you invite me?” Devin joked. “You can’t hold a grudge against Curtis and let it ruin our


    rtionship!”


    Leanne wasn’t even sure when she had established any sort of rtionship with him


    With all eyes on her, she replied coolly, “You’re here now, aren’t you?”


    Joy gave them a scornful thumbs down.


    Devin just smirked back, his eyes briefly meeting those of the man next to Leanne, who was pouring


    her a drink, clearly very familiar with her.


    “If you don’t mind, let’s join tables,” Devin suggested.


    Leanne hadn’t even responded when Joy eximed decisively, “We do mind!”


    With a sneer, Devin said, “Then get over it,” before pulling up a chair with a thud, sprawling out, and


    folding his arms. “Looks like I’m joining this table whether you like it or not!”


    “You better mind your tone, idiot!” Joy threatened, ready to leap up.


    Curtis, appearing calm and collected, approached from behind the group, his gaze sliding off Leanne


    before addressing Devin, “Come back. Don’t bother them.”


    Devin then stood and returned to his own table!

    Mr. Curtis never engaged in petty secret observations; he boldly took a seat where Leanne could see


    him.


    As men do, Jeremy and Austin went over to greet him, and Leanne turned her head to watch Curtis


    handle the social niceties with grace.


    Noticing her gaze, he nced her way while continuing his conversation, a slight smile ying on his


    lips.


    Joy’s head popped in between them, blocking their view, her expression mockingly smug.


    Curtis’ smile faded subtly as he looked up at Austin with a meaningful gaze, “You must really enjoy


    exploring new things.”


    Joy turned back to Leanne, her face saying, “Caught you looking, didn’t I?”


    Leanne looked away, taking a sip of her drink. “Wasn’t looking at anything.”


    “How did he know we were here?” Joy asked.


    Leanne paused for a few seconds before deflecting, “That’s a long story. I’ll tell you all about it when we


    get home.”
