Cade worked all day with his brother Dean on Saturday to make up for the time he spent with the reporter on Friday. The two of them finally took off for a late dinner at the Hitching Post after seven.

“I’m getting too much of this place,” he said. “I’m going to DJ’s for some good ribs next time I eat out.”

“You didn’t like Ellie?” Dean asked. “I thought she was hot.”

“She was tiring,” Cade said, sipping his beer and surveying the bar. “I’m glad you and I made good progress today. Her interview really cut into my time yesterday.”

“Man, you’re getting old if you think she was tiring. I wish you would have handed her over to me,” Dean said.

“That interview could mean a lot for us. I wouldn’t want you cluttering it because you wanted a good time. You can get a good time with a lot of women. No need to piss off this one,” he said.

“And you think you didn’t piss her off?” Dean asked, starting his second beer. “She looked like she wanted more than dinner with you.”

“I dropped her off at her hotel and went home. I’m not a complete fool,” Cade said.

“Tell the truth,” Dean said. “You wouldn’t have minded going up to her room, would you?”

The truth was Cade hadn’t been at all interested, but he wasn’t going to tell Dean that. “You gonna come into the shop tomorrow after church?”

Dean blanched. “I gotta go to church?”

Cade laughed. “Leona Moseley was asking about you the last time I went.”

Dean groaned. “No way. She’s been after me for two years. Why do you think I don’t go to church without someone to protect me? It’s enough to make a man lose his religion.”

Cade laughed again. “We all have to take turns. I took a turn two weeks ago. Dad is sick, so someone else needs to step up.”

“Have some pity, Cade,” Dean said. “I don’t want to face Leona.”

Cade groaned, but heard the sound of a familiar laugh from across the room. He tilted his head then searched the room. Nothing. Nothing. Noth— Cade’s gaze collided with the sight of Abby with a group of girls and a guy with his arm wrapped around her waist.

A wicked twist of jealousy wrapped around his gut and throat like a python. What the hell was she doing here? What the hell was that guy doing touching her like that?
