“Having a hard time focusing?” Piper mused.

“Oh, be quiet,” Autumn sighed.

“You wouldn’t happen to be looking for Quinn, would you?”

“Hush,” Autumn said in a raised whisper.

“Trust me, friend, everyone already knows.”

Autumn rolled her eyes and huffed a large sigh.

“Did I miss anything important?” Autumn finally asked.

“No. Just the same wedding plans we already know about. You and Quinn are definitely bouncing off one another tonight,” Piper suggested.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, when you aren’t looking for her, she’s busy looking for you,” Piper laughed.

Autumn was taken aback.

“Quinn has been looking at me, too?” Autumn asked.

Piper pinned her with a look of disbelief.

“Are you serious? You came here in that dress, and didn’t expect to be the center of Quinn’s focus?” Piper gave a loud laugh.

Autumn’s blush deepened.

“I just wanted to look nice for the opening,” Autumn argued.

“Mission accomplished.”

“Okay but I look nice and not like I just want attention, right?” Autumn asked suddenly self-conscious.

“Friend, all I’m saying is that you look amazing. So amazing that it’s ridiculous to think that Quinn wouldn’t be stealing glances of you.”

Autumn’s smile widened. There was something about knowing that Quinn was checking her out that turned her on.

“Ugh, Quinn wants to wait and go on a date tomorrow night.”

“You can have some fun tonight and go on a date tomorrow night.”

“Should I go talk to her again?”

“Yes. And you should go claim exactly what you want. She’s not the only one who has been waiting for this night,” Piper smirked.

Her friend definitely had a point. Autumn had spent her fair share of time thinking about what she would do, and how she wanted tonight to go.

“I think you’re right. No reason why Quinn should be the only one setting the pace,” Autumn smiled wide.

“Go let her know what you want,” Piper urged.

Autumn glanced around the bar. Everyone was having a great time even as the crowd began to thin. There were plenty of servers on staff to fulfil orders.

“I think I’m going to go do that. Thanks for the pep talk.”

“What are friends for,” Piper grinned and waved Autumn on.
