I stare at the message for a moment. Before this, all the meals we’ve shared together have been purely because we were already in the same place. Was he going out of his way to specifically invite me for dinner? I remember what Darrien said about Bellamy seeing me as his mate sooner than I expect. Surely he isn’t trying to ask me out.
