Page 131 of My Destiny

“Yes, after lunch Michelle took me to her hairdresser’s. I had my nails done too.” I hold my hands out to show off my French polish. “Thank you for the day of pampering. It was nice. I also enjoyed spending time with your sister. I really like her.”

“She really likes you too. Hopefully, you’ll become good friends.”

“I’d like that.”

I’ve had plenty of friends in my life, but never anyone I’ve been exceptionally close to, like a sister. Maybe it’s because I’m an only child, but I’ve always longed for a friendship like that.

“You look nervous,” I say as we ride in the back of the limousine to our unknown destination.

“I’m okay,” he replies, placing his hand on my leg. “I just hope tonight is special for you.”

“I’m with you, so it already is.”

He smiles. “Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?”

“Yes, but I don’t mind hearing it again.” My fingertips skim over the ballerina necklace that adorns my neck. It looks beautiful with the baby blue one-shouldered dress I’m wearing. The sheer chiffon outer layer accentuates the femininity of the gown. “You don’t look so bad yourself, Mr. Cavanagh,” I say, raising an eyebrow as I lean over to brush my lips against his.

He looks down at his watch for the umpteenth time before gazing out the window. “We’re almost there.” Is he nervous about tonight, or is something else on his mind?

“Almost where?” I ask, hoping for a hint.

“Almost where we’re going,” he replies, chuckling.

Reaching into the pocket of his jacket, he pulls out one of his ties. “Oh, I thought you were opting for a more casual look tonight by not wearing one. I think it looks sexy with the top buttons of your dress shirt undone. And on the plus side, it’s less for me to undo when we get home later.”

He laughs at my comment. “The tie isn’t for me—it’s for you. I needed a blindfold, and it’s the best I could come up with on short notice.”

“A blindfold? Chris is in the front seat.”

“It’s not for that,” he says, laughing. “But we can definitely recreate this moment when we get home. Turn around.”

“I thought you were getting kinky.”

“You’d like that, would you?”

“Not with Chris so close,” I admit. “Can I ask why you’re blindfolding me?”

“All will be revealed shortly.” Covering my eyes, he ties the tie firmly from behind.

“Should I be worried?”

“No.” The limousine comes to a stop moments later, and I hear the car door open. “Give me your hand,” Logan says before helping me out.

“Can I take the blindfold off now?”

“In a minute.”

He guides me a few steps away from the vehicle, then places his hands on my shoulders and turns me around to face him. He reaches behind me to undo the blindfold. When I open my eyes, I find him smiling down at me.

“Hi,” I say, making his smile grow.

“Hi.” He takes a deep breath before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small rectangular box. “I have another gift for you.”

“You spoil me. This necklace is more than enough.” He seems tense as he places the box in my hand. “Are you okay?” I ask, resting my palm on the side of his face. He’s starting to worry me.

“I’m just a little anxious,” he says.

“Why would you be anxious?”
