Thank goodness for Hayden Davenport.

I shot him a hopeful look. “Do you have anything to do tomorrow night? Want to be my escort?”
Hayden shook his head slowly. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I loathe weddings, remember?”
“Have any friends who might want to go?” I tried again.
“Nah, the guys in my band are more about rock concerts than stuffy ceremonies.”
My ears perked at that. “You’re in a band?”
He nodded.
“Are all the guys as hot as you?” I asked then blushed like crazy. Why had I said that?
“They’re okay,” he said, his eyes bright. “But they can’t compete with all this.”
Oh, I bet they couldn’t.
“You don’t think any of them would want to take me? Ouch,” I said.
“It’s not about you, Maggie. It’s the second-hand embarrassment from having to wear a tux, hanging out with parents, and being man candy for the night.”
“Don’t guys like being man candy?”
“Some do.”
“But not you or your friends.”
Hayden shrugged. “I don’t mind it. But like I said, I’d rather jump off a cliff then spend time at a lame wedding.”
This is crazy, I thought. I’m stuck in an elevator with a musician who’s friends with a bunch of other male musicians. And none of them will go on one no-strings-attached date where they’ll get free food.
I threw up my hands.
“Okay, it’s official,” I said. “Karma hates me.”
“She must not hate you too much,” Hayden said. “You are stuck in here with me. And I’m a total catch.”
