Chapter 52: The Couple's Set

Nicole entered the address into the GPS as soon as we got into the Mercedes. I started the engine, pulled out of the driveway, and glanced at her.

"What time's the party starting?"

"Seven."

I looked at her again. "And we're leaving now?"

She adjusted something on the GPS before turning to me with an innocent smile. "Nathan, nobody remembers the people who arrive on time."

I stared at the road ahead. "That sounds like something people who are always late tell themselves."

I glanced at her again. The smile was still on her face, but my attention shifted to the watch on her wrist.

I looked at mine. Same brand. Same color. Same everything.

Then it hit me. The light brown knitwear, the black bottoms, the black shoes, and now the watches. I'd assumed she had picked similar colors because she liked how they looked together, but there was a little too much similarity for that explanation to hold up anymore.
