"Yes, Clarise and I discussed that briefly." Looking at Clarise, he said, "So I'll be meeting with you sometime this week, then?"
"Yes, just talk to Elena. You'll find our phone number on our website."
He nodded, thinking he'd accomplished what he came here to do—to meet Clarise Carson for business purposes—and now he could leave. He said his goodbyes and went to look for the engaged couple.

Will tapped Rick and Megan on their shoulders. "May I interrupt your marathon dancing session?" he said with a grin. "I just want to say thank you for inviting me tonight. I've really enjoyed myself but I'm afraid I have to go. There's still some urgent work I need to finish this weekend."
Megan pulled them towards a more quiet area before giving him a hug. "Will, thanks so much for coming. We really appreciate it. I know Rick mentioned introducing you to someone tonight but it turns out she's already going out with someone else," Megan said sheepishly.
"No worries about that, Meg," he said with a chuckle. "Quite frankly, I wasn't really looking forward to your matchmaking so that's a relief. Apart from wanting to be here to help celebrate your engagement, I really just wanted to meet your sister."
Megan and Rick exchanged a startled glance. "Why?" Megan asked.
"I wanted to talk to her about a possible article for my business in Lifestyle."
"Oh, okay. Good luck with that."
"Thanks, and thanks again for inviting me. Rick, I'll see you at tennis in a few days."
"Yep, see you then, Will."

Will got into his car and let out a long sigh. He was still reeling from the strong attraction he felt for Clarise.
"Don't forget you're just looking for playmates, Will, not a girlfriend. She is one of your close friend's sister-in-law," he chided himself loudly, his voice filling the car. "And besides, she's already taken," he said in a sour tone, surprised at the jealousy that coursed through his body.
He frowned, not at all pleased with himself about what he was feeling.
