Chapter 31: Dinner for Two

*Sophie’s POV*

Jarred had texted me the address to his restaurant earlier. I still couldn't believe I was meeting him for dinner. My heart raced as I turned into the parking lot. I didn't know what I was doing and felt on autopilot.

I took a deep breath before exiting the car and walked to the door. The building was gorgeous, and the glass windows provided a sneak peek into the inside.

Jarred was already standing at the door as I approached.

"Black and purple always looked good on you," he noted with a smile. He held the door for me as I entered.

Jarred wore black dress pants, a white dress shirt, and a black bow tie, instantly reminding me of Nigel.

"Wow, you have a fish tank,” I beamed.

I walked toward the fish tank and bent my knees to see the different types of fish swimming around, hoping I could stop seeing Nigel's face each time I looked at Jarred's bow tie.
