You deserve so much more, Rache.” He sensually kissed her skin again, but the contact seemed to bother her. “I’m sorry, it’s just…” “Too soon,” he answered. “I get it.” Casey sighed and pulled out the opera tickets. “If you don’t want to go to this, I completely understand.” He was hoping she would decline. Rachel loved the performing arts, and she’d always wanted to go to an opera with Casey. “I’d love to go with you.” She smiled softly. “Then it’s a date?” She nodded, beaming now. “It’s a date.” Casey caressed her face and kissed her forehead lovingly. “Let me cook you up some dinner.
