Chapter Nine

Reece stood in the corner and tried to act like he fit in. Hell, to look at him, he did fit in. Every man in the place was cut from the same mold. They all had on crisp Levi’s, boots that had been spit shined, and cotton button-up shirts that had been either starched or ironed. To top off the appearance, every man in the dim place wore a ten-gallon hat on his head.

The difference was, everyone else was having a grand ol’ time, while Reece stood in the back and tried to be invisible. He hated bars, always had. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that nothing good had ever come out of his father visiting one. Maybe it was the fact that he’d avoided them while on the circuit. Whatever the matter, he wondered why he’d allowed Haley and Alex to talk him into coming that night.

Thursday nights were karaoke nights at the Rusty Rail and they both had promised he’d have fun. They’d strong-armed him into going and supporting them while they each got up on stage and sang.

Alex and Haley were swaying on the dance floor with their husbands. They had all been chatting at the small round table he stood behind until a slow song started floating through the speakers. Then they had disappeared on him, leaving him alone in the darkened corner. He didn’t mind, actually; he was wishing he’d thought to call Melissa and invite her along, but it had had been so last minute, he hadn’t had time.

He was taking another swig of beer, when he watched the two girls walk in the front door. They looked like they were inseparable. Their arms were linked and they were laughing as they scanned the room.

When Missy’s eyes locked with his, her smile brightened even more. She nodded and said something to Holly who immediately looked over towards his corner with a large smile on her face.

They started walking his way, and his night instantly got better.

“Fancy meeting you here,” Holly said, walking over and sitting on one of the bar stools. She looked at her friend and nodded. “I ran into Melissa earlier, and we decided a night out was in order.”

He nodded and pulled Missy closer to him. “I’m here with them.” He nodded to his cousins who were now dancing faster on the old wood floor with their husbands.

“They look good together,” Holly said. He thought he heard a hint of jealousy in her voice, but he didn’t know her well enough to tell.

“You clean up well,” Missy said.

He smiled. “So do you.” He leaned down and kissed the red lips he’d been staring at since she walked in the door. She was wearing a flowered cotton sundress covered with little red roses. Her red boots matched her lips and the little red purse she had strapped over her shoulder. He couldn’t stop touching her.

“I’ll go grab us a pitcher,” Holly said, quickly retreating towards the bar.

“I’m glad you came,” he said, running his hands up and down her back.
