Juliet smiles and they go home where Mia's already asleep. Juliet pays the sitter and watches to make sure she gets to her car before leaving.
They go on more dates over the next few weeks, and after each one it's harder and harder to resist Damien. But tonight's date is actually planned by her. It's the last one, and it's a fundraiser she's required to go to. She rents a tux for Damien and gets a dress for herself, but then it's all champagne and fancy food with dancing and a silent auction. There's a motorcycle, a brand new Harley, and without Damien seeing, she bids on it, going a few thousand above the retail price. She only knows what it would cost because of Damien, and right now, she thinks he deserves it.
They dance together, pause to listen to people make speeches about the hospital and the new Children's Center they're raising money for. During a slow dance, her nose nuzzles in against Damien's neck, just breathing him in.
