“Should we ask for details and if it’s happened?” Diane asked her.

“Yes,” she said. “That is the reason we came here. Jax and Roni are close. We both assumed they saw each other over Easter recently. We only want to know if they’ve had time to goon a date yet. It’s been three weeks since we gave Jax Dillion’s number. Five weeks since they both said yes.”

It shouldn’t have taken even this long in her eyes.

Roni hung up the phone and both of them moved closer.

“We are sorry to bother you,” Diane said. “We stopped in since we were close by.”

Roni laughed. “You want to know if Jax and Dillion went on a date yet.”

“Well,” she said. “We do, if you know that information. I’m positive they are going to hit it off.”

“You say that about everyone,” Roni said, shaking her head.

“And we haven’t been wrong once,” Diane said. “Don’t you want your brother happily hooked up?”

“I do,” Roni said, smirking. “Yes, they went on a date. And, yes, they had a good time.”

“One date?” she asked.

“You’re not getting any more out of me,” Roni said. “Go do your detective work somewhere else.”

“Heard loud and clear,” Carolyn said. “I might have hoped for more, but I know you’re loyal to your brother.”

“Very,” Roni said. “But you know, I appreciate and thank you often for pointing me in Trent’s direction, so it’s the least I can do.”

“We’ll take it,” Diane said and grabbed Carolyn’s arm to pull her out into the hall.

“I wasn’t done yet,” she argued. “I know I could have gotten more out of her.”

Talk about frustration. One date and they got along. She could have figured that out herself.

“You have to know when to push and when to sit back,” Diane said. “They had their date and got along well. Remember, Dillion has a child and is doing it alone. It could be something on the slow end. We’ll check back in a few weeks.”

“I can’t keep coming back to Roni to check in,” she said.

“That is right,” Diane said. “So we’ve got to plan on how to check in with Dillion or Jax. Until then, know that so far our track record is still going strong.

“Sorry I missed your message,”Jax said. “I was at a community service board meeting that was running late.”

He always had his phone on vibrate in his pocket and didn’t take it out to look during meetings unless it rang.

“Not a big deal,” Roni said.

“The two of them waited longer than I thought they would to snoop into my dating life again.”

It’d been well over a month that he and Dillion had been dating.

In his mind, everything was going pretty darn good.

Which wasn’t the best thing because that was when you got smacked upside the head with the unexpected.

But Gianna loved him.

Dillion’s parents accepted him.

He’d take that any day.
