Everest Green was determined to go through her four years of college unnoticed by steering clear of any kind of trouble. Law school was her ultimate goal and no one was going to stand in her way, not even the Greek god lookalikes at Bowling Green Un...

I've been trying to keep my composure for the last few minutes, I couldn't believe that the chauvinist and irresponsible man that we were investigating for making rape cases go away was standing in front of me. But to top it all off he was married to Connery's mom. How is it possible that such a sweet woman was married to such a chauvinist man? I just couldn't understand it, I wondered if he just pulled an act when he was around her because in school he was such a different person.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, young lady," Conrad smiles extending his hand politely and I shake it (as a courtesy of course). If we weren't at a public event we would be having a very different conversation. "I'm surprised to see such a beautiful girl by Connery's side. We've been trying to find him a girlfriend for so long but no one sticks around long enough."
"Conrad, not you too," Connery complains and I let out a small laugh. He hates being teased. "Is Emma here yet? I'm taking Everest somewhere else. If we stick around long enough you might just start pulling out the embarrassing baby pictures."
"I would love to show Everest your baby pictures, you were such a cute baby." Connery's mom gushes squeezing Connery's chubby cheeks and Connery rolls his eyes. "And no, your sister hasn't arrived yet. Last time we talked she was just picking Daniel up."
Connery grabs my hand. "I'll keep an eye out for her, I want to introduce her to Everest before she leaves for Paris. Now, if you both excuse us, we'll get going. You've already embarrassed me enough for one night." Both Conrad and Victoria laugh at Connery's comment. I give both of them one last smile before walking away with Connery.
"Why did we have to leave? I was enjoying myself way too much." I tease.
"Liar isn't a good look on you, admit it, you just wanted to see the baby pictures." Connery gives me a look and I couldn't help but laugh. While we were walking through the crowd, the band started playing If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys. I couldn't help but smile, it's Aunt Claire's favorite song and I have countless memories of me dancing the song with her during family gatherings. Connery must've noticed. "May I have this dance?"
I smile widely and I nod. Connery placed his right hand on my lower back and I wrapped my left arm around his lifted arm and I placed my other hand around his very strong biceps. Soon after we started to move along the music. "I didn't know you could dance so well Matthew Connery." I tease.
"There are many things that you don't know about me." Connery turns me around and pulls me closer to him our faces inches apart. "You'll just have to figure it out."
"I might just take you up on that offer, if I see that it's worth my time, of course." Connery's lips break into a smirk.
"Oh, I promise you, you won't regret it," Connery whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. As the song progresses I rest my head on his shoulder and he rests his head on mine. For those three minutes, we just moved to the sound of the music and we didn't say anything to each other. We both just got lost in the song.
