"No, that won't go. I'm working tomorrow," Emily immediately turned on protective mode.
The last thing on Earth she'd do would be to introduce her grandma to this guy!
Knowing the elderly lady, Hayes was sure: if Justin Evans scrambles granny's brains and that's it! Emily won't notice standing at the altar in her wedding dress!
Not that she was against such an outcome...
Hayes, stop it! Your thoughts are dragging you in the wrong direction again! Emily mentally drove away silly fantasies, ready to paint pictures of a happy future in her head.
She has worn enough of the rose glasses in her in past relationships.
The question was different - what did Evans want?
The man showed a clear interest, but limited himself to only hints, without specific words and actions.
Either he was playing, or he didn't want to scare her away. Emily was not strong in her assessment of male psychology. She wasn't going to ask the question directly again.
