Chapter Eight

“That guy,” Ethan said several hours and two bars later. “The quiet, studious one with the sweater vest and glasses.”

A chill permeated the air around her. She rubbed her arms to ward it off. Ethan had been suggesting possible future husbands for her all night. His latest description fit her ex a little too well.

“Stop it. I’m never going to choose a man on looks alone. I’m not sure I want one at all, ever again.”

Ethan spun her barstool toward him and eased her knees apart so he could step between them. He pushed her hands aside, his warm palms encircling her arms and slipping up and down. Her core body temperature catapulted from icy to overheated in the space of a few seconds. It was so easy to imagine those large, capable hands roaming all over her. How unfair was it that the only man who affected her was hell-bent on matching her with someone else?

“Enough.” She reached for his hips, forcing herself to push him away. “This whole ‘what about him’ game is pointless.”

“It’s not pointless. You decided what you wanted your life to look like when you were five years old. You don’t even breathe until you’re sure it won’t affect your plans.”

“My wedding plans?” Her tone was flat, lifeless. “You’re right. I chose a man who wanted the same things I did.” She snorted. “And together we put too much emphasis on a big, showy party.”

“You did, but it’s what was meant to come after the party that you can’t live without. You’ve built a life for two people, Sara.”

“Stop saying that. I planned a wedding for two people. It’s not uncommon.”

“Not the wedding,” he said gently. “You’re obviously great at planning events, but you thought well beyond your wedding day. You bought a house. You’re self-employed with a good income and a flexible work schedule. If necessary, you could probably relocate without any drama.”

His logic was damned annoying.

“You dreamed so big and in such detail that any man could step into your ex’s shoes and make it work with you. Look around. If you chose a partner here tonight at random—any single, eligible man—I guarantee the two of you would be blissfully happy in a month’s time.”

“Any man?” She laughed to cover the hurt he’d inflicted. “The way you tell it I’ve spent my whole life constructing a cage to house some poor schmuck, and by month’s end he’ll know better than to say he’s not happy living in there.”

Ethan was silent for a long time. Exasperation poured off him. “How many unattached men, in an acceptable age range for you, do you think there are in this bar?”

“I don’t know. Ten or twelve?”

He beckoned the bartender closer and ordered a dozen shots of tequila. He lined them up in two neat rows in front of Sara, glaring at her when she began to stand up. “I bet you’ll be happy in thirty days if you get married tonight. You don’t have to drink a single one of these.
