When Melissa finished the work she had to do at the house that evening, Andy drove her back to town and dropped her off at Hardbodies. He hated that she had to work as much as she did, jumping from one job to another all day and half the night, but he had no say in the matter. She was her own woman and determined to get that place of her own. All he could do was be there to support her.

Once he was at the bar, he decided to hang around for a while.

Surely not because it was a Saturday night and the bar was chock full of wranglers and douchenozzles, all of whom had eyes for a certain honey-haired waitress.

“So. Andrew.”

He turned around to see Emma standing behind him with a whisky. “Yeah?”

At the sound of his voice, she unerringly set the tumbler before him. “She’s been talking about you.”

“Um, who?” He had a pretty good idea.

“Melissa.” She cocked her head to the side and stared through to his soul with sightless eyes. “Want some advice?”

“Okay.”

“Don’t hurt her.”

What? This again? “I don’t plan on it.”

Emma snorted. “No one ever plans on it. But if you do hurt her, I’ll have your guts for garters.”

“Heard. But I’m telling you, my intentions are noble.”

“Noble?” The way she said it, she didn’t carry much truck with nobility.

“I really like her. I want what’s best for her.”

“And what is best for her?”

He shrugged. “At the moment, a friend.”

“That’s all?”

“As long as that’s all she wants.”

Emma blew out a breath, as though considering his words. “All right then. Drink’s on the house.”

“Thanks.”

She turned to walk away, but then stopped and glanced back at him. “Want some more advice?”

“Sure.”

“She really hates beards.”

He barked a laugh. “How do you know I have a beard?”

Her nose wrinkled. “Maybe I can smell it?”

The thought horrified him.

She laughed. “Or maybe she told me.”

Oh, thank God. And then, “Can you really smell beards?”

Her shoulder lifted. “I can when guys use that beard oil. It has a particular…odor.”

“Wow. I did not know that.”

But then there were lots of things he hadn’t known.

Like the fact that Melissa didn’t like his beard. He’d started growing it as a SEAL, because the facial hair made them stand out less in Iraq. Then he’d kept it because, well, because he’d kept it.

But now that he knew she didn’t like it…

Well, that fucker was going to have to go.
