TATE SIPPED HER light beer and watched as Cam checked IDs at the door. He sat in an alcove, and the lighting cast odd shadows over his face, which only made his dimples more noticeable when he smiled at some forty-year-old cougar.

Tate glared at the woman’s back as she made her way to the bar and then focused again on Cam.

He turned his head, met her gaze. And then winked.

That smug, sexy bastard.

Van plopped down across from her with a pink drink in a martini glass. Tate eyed it. “What’s that?”

“Cosmo.”

Tate raised her eyebrows and looked around the bar like it was the first time she’d seen it. “A cosmo? I’m sorry, are we in Manhattan dining on lobster and wearing our good diamonds?”

Van shoved Tate’s shoulder with a laugh. “Shut up. A cosmo isn’t that fancy.”

“You’re just practicing for L.A., huh?” Tate lifted up her beer and tipped the neck toward Van before taking a swig. “I’ll be over here enjoying my Miller High Life like that classy gal I am.”

Van rubbed her finger over the rim of the glass. “Maaaybeee this winter you will be in Manhattan, sipping cosmos, dripping in jewels.”

Tate plunked her beer down on the table and glared at her best friend. She’d told Van as soon as she got to the bar about her conversation with Cam, spewing it all out in one long stream of breath before they could even get their first drink.

“Van . . .”

Her friend leaned forward. “You’re thinking about it right?”

Tate blew out a breath. “I am, okay? I’m thinking about it very seriously. But Jamie will still have another year of school and Dad . . .” She let her voice trail off. Why was she wishing doom on their heads? He’d been doing well.

Van took a sip her drink and made a face. “Gonna have to talk to Trev about this. Anyway, I think you need to realize they would want you to live your life.”

“But we just got Jamie speaking to us again and he seems to be getting back on track but—”

“Your father is aware of Jamie’s behavior now, so he can help get him back on track. This isn’t all on you anymore. It never should have been.”

Tate scrunched her lips back and forth, mulling it over. She wondered if part of her was scared to take that leap, to travel to an unknown city when all she’d known all her life was Paradise. Was she making excuses now? She looked up at Cam as he sat on his stool at the bar. His head was turned, shouting something to Trevor behind the bar. Then Cam threw back his head and laughed. And the sound was like a warm blanket, wrapping around her, promising her safety. How could she leave that?

“I think I want to,” she said quietly.

“And I think you should,” Van said back, just as quietly.

A chair scraped beside her and she looked up as Marcus took a seat at their table. “Hey, Tate.
