Excerpt:
“You see, I got married, so, I’m cutting out the flirting and teasing, out of respect for my wife.”
Her mouth dropped open so quickly it was almost comical.
“No way,” she denied, shaking her head. “You can’t be married, you don’t even date anyone. It would be all over the grapevine by now.”
I chuckled, because, honestly, I was surprised all of Cherry Springs didn’t know about Jazzy and me by now.
Gail glanced down at my naked ring finger and I fought the urge to move my hand out of sight.
“It’s true,” I told her. “Jasmine Lewis and I said our vows in Las Vegas. We just got back from our honeymoon.”
“Jasmine? I see. Well, then, congratulations, I guess,” she said with a frown before spinning on her heel.
“Thanks for that, I guess,” I called out after her, shaking my head and taking a rag out to wipe down the bar.
“Well, the lid is getting blown off now,” Becs said from behind me. “Hearts will be breaking all over Cherry Springs tonight.”
I turned to look at her questioningly, then followed her gaze to where Gail was standing with a group of women and all eyes were on me.
I waved.
“They’ll get over it.”
“I’m not so sure they will,” Becs said with a sigh. “You were the last single guy in town who’s not either a prick, mama’s boy, or bum.”
I chuckled.
“That’s not true, Becs, there’s plenty a good ones around. What about Mikey from the hardware store, or Donovan from the autobody shop,” I asked. “Oh, and didn’t you have a date with Trevon, that guy who owns the boxing club?”
“Trevon’s dating someone else, Donovan hasn’t brushed his teeth since twenty twelve, and Mikey lives in his mom’s basement.”
“Oh,” I said, not knowing what to say, since none of that sounded promising. “And, gross… But, Becs, there are more than three single blokes in Cherry Springs. Maybe you should try meeting them somewhere other than here, at the bar.”
