Mila’s jacket was still folded beneath the counter where Luna put it earlier. I grabbed it and draped it over my arm.
“You heading out?”
“I probably should before Tasha decides keeping my child overnight is easier than waiting up for me.”
“Mila would love that.”
“Exactly why I can’t allow it.”
Luna smiled.
I started toward the door, then stopped.
“Saturday.”
She looked up.
“What about it?”
“You good?”
Her eyebrows pulled together.
“With the event.”
“Oh.” She glanced toward the setup we just finished. “Yeah. I think so.”
“You think?”
“Ellis.”
I laughed.
“Okay.”
I reached for the door.
“Hey.”
I looked back.
Luna was still behind the counter, and for a second, she looked like she was trying to decide whether to say whatever was on her mind.
“I’m glad I asked you.”
I almost asked if it was because I was tall, but there was something in the way she said it that made me leave the joke alone.
“Me too.”
Something softened in her expression.
“Drive safe.”
“You lock up.”
“I will.”
I stepped outside, and the bell chimed behind me.
