As we get closer to this restaurant called Flavor Rush, now is a good time to remind Vanessa of how to conduct herself around Patrick.

Listen up,” I say to her while looking ahead. “This is your ex–boyfriend and currently, your friend or whatever, but you’re with me, your husband and you better act like you love me.”

“I know. There’s no need to remind me.”

Her tone sounds a little harsh as she looks outside the window and catches me by surprise a little. What happened to her? Everything was fine just a

moment ago.

“I was only reminding you in case you get too comfortable. No hugs or any of that shit, just a handshake.”

“Don’t worry about it. I know exactly what to do.”

Once again her tone is a little harsh and I can’t help but ask, “Is everything okay with you?”

“Why would something be wrong?”

“Something about you just feels different.” I tilt my head as I look at her side profile.

She jerks her head in my direction with a glare. “What makes you say that?”

“Is there something I’m missing?” I raise my eyebrows at how sharp her glare is.

I’m just thinking about a lot right now.” She sighs, now looking a little sad.

“Did something happen?”

“No, I’m just… I thought…never mind.” She looks away.

“Spit it out.”

“It’s nothing important. Besides, this isn’t the time to talk about it.”

“It doesn’t matter. Spit it out.”

I actually don’t want to see her like this.

“I’m getting a little anxious about where to establish my first branch for my hair care line. I was thinking about it a lot today while I was having lunch.”

It takes me a while to speak as I’m in disbelief. This can’t be it, but still, I shake my head.

“Are you being serious right now? Is this what has you in such a grumpy mood? Why would that even bother you when you’re not establishing anything right now? You don’t even have a team. You’re getting way ahead of yourself.”

“I know.” She looks outside the window again, her voice a little calmer.

“Once you’re ready for that, I’ll be the one to assemble your team.”

“Yeah.” Her enthusiasm seems to have completely faded and I don’t know what to make of this.

Though she’s already explained why she’s in such a grumpy mood, it still doesn’t feel right and that’s because I now know what she’s like. What am I missing?

Just as the car turns at the corner, I receive a call from Mike and I know what this is about. It even makes me chuckle a little as I pick up the call. “Hey, man,” I say to him enthusiastically.
