Monday at the bar, after that all-night lip-lock with Low, I’m mopping the counter with a goofy grin on my face as the afternoon winds down. Low was sleeping in when I took off. I can’t blame her. In fact, I wish I were right there with her, holding her while we both got some restful shut-eye. It’s her night off, so she might just be sleeping right through the evening for all I know.

I glance down at the text Raven sent last night, but I was too busy to answer.

Who the hell is this Evie chick? Do I need to hop on my broomstick and head back to Hollow Brook?

I take a moment to text her back. Please don’t. It’s the one bit of normalcy I’ve had in a year. Evie is a cool chick. You’d approve. I hit Send, knowing full well Raven would be the last to approve.

A bubble lights up next to her name, and I can see she’s already texting me back. It doesn’t surprise me. Raven’s phone never leaves her hand. UGH! I hate that you’ve met someone, and I’m not there to vet her. We all know what happened last time. I should be back in town in a couple of weeks. Will she still be around? My God, she’s not a permanent fixture, is she?

I think on this for a moment and answer the only way I know how—with the truth. Hell yes, she is.

Brody comes up with that curious frown only he seems to have perfected.

“What are you grinning about?”

“Nothing. I’m not grinning. I don’t believe in happiness, remember?” A dull chuckle bounces from me. I happened to say that to him just before Christmas, and he’s been busting my balls over it ever since. It’s true, though. Or at least it was.

“What’s up with you?” I ask. “You’re the one that should be grinning. I saw you take off with that redhead Saturday night. She looked hot. Any fireworks?”

“Only the best kind.” He slumps over a stool. “I took her home. It was short and sweet, and it made me want to vomit. I don’t know. I’m too old to catch a girl on the fly and take her home. I need to pull it together before my dick falls off, or worse.”

“What the hell is worse than that? On second thought, I’m not sure I want to know.”

“All the good ones are taken. It’s happening, you know. We’re about to hit our mid-thirties. This one-night stand shit doesn’t fly the way it used to.”

“You’re not that guy.” For as long as I’ve known him, he’s only had a handful of one-nighters. He’s a two or three-nighter, something just this side of a commitment-phobe.

“Yeah, well, I’m that guy now—or at least I was. I’m thinking about serial dating.”

“The rest of the world refers to it as a relationship.”

“Yeah, that.” His brows jump because he can’t bring himself to say it, let alone do it. “What about Low? She’s a cool chick.
