Despite the fact she’d been hoping for a busy evening, things had been fairly slow all night. The infection was making her more tired than normal, and her shoulder was starting to hurt again.

She pulled out her water to take a drink when her new favorite customer came into view. She’d almost forgotten about him in the recent whirlwind of activity. She smiled and pulled out a whiskey bottle.

“Hello, Dylan.” She smiled and placed the drink in front of him. “How’s my favorite customer?”

“I’m surprised you remember my name.” He chuckled and sat at the end of the bar.

“I always remember names,” she smiled.

Alyssa stared at the handsome man and wondered if he had a girlfriend.

Dylan took a drink and looked around. “Little dead in here tonight.”

She nodded. “I think it’s just the mid-month lull. Normally we’re hopping.”

That wasn’t quite true. Things had been slow for a bit, though it did seem like they were picking up again overall, however slowly. She certainly didn’t want to scare him off by suggesting some people were afraid of a clash with the Russians though.

He set his drink down and stared intently at her. “That’s good. It’s a new place, and I wouldn’t want it to close down.”

“Oh I don’t think you have to worry about that,” she smiled. “The owner is actually looking to expand. Just waiting on the okay from the city council.”

He nodded and picked up his glass for another drink. Midway up, he stopped and set the glass back down.

“What happened to you?” Dylan stilled her hand from wiping the counter with his own.

“Oh, I had to have an IV today.” She pointed to her shoulder. “It’s infected.”

He lifted up her and ran a soothing thumb over the bruised spots.

“A hand like this shouldn’t be abused like this,” he said and brought her hand to his mouth.

As much as she didn’t want to feel anything, her heart skipped a beat.

“Why are you crying?” he said gently and brushed off tears from her face.

She hadn’t even known that she was until he said something.

“I guess I’m just overwhelmed today,” she rambled. “The infection, the nurse, threatening notes and indecisive men.”

Dylan frowned. “Threatening notes?”

Alyssa groaned inwardly. “It’s nothing really. Someone just thinks it’s funny to tape a gun on my door, with nasty writing.”

Dylan’s frown deepened. “That’s not good,” he mumbled and stood. “I hate to do this, but I forgot something at the office.”

She gave a sad smile and nodded. She couldn’t even get through work without having an incident.

Dylan nodded and made his way out the door.
