Guess your taste has changed."Emily smiles and glances at me.Michael cracks open a crab leg and puts the meat on her plate before answering with a smile. "Dating and marriage are two different things."Then he turns to me. "Right?"It's the first thing he's said to me all night.I set down my fork and meet his eyes. "Right.
