“I've never known a baseball star before,” Sophie said.

“Oh, I'm a treat,” Bo said, refilling her glass and then Noah's. “No bout adoubt it. Or whatever.”

“Drinking away my problems,” she mused. “What a concept. Look, she's sound asleep,” she aded, indicating the puppy in her lap. “I feel such a sense of accomplishment.”

“You mean you've never tried drinking away your problems?” asked Noah.

“You mean you have problems?” asked Bo. “You sure as hell don’t look as if you've got problems.” _

She hiccupped, and gave him a little smile. “You have no idea.” Despite her words, she spoke pleasantly, and turned the dazzling wattage of her smile on Noah. They clinked bottles.

“To your hidden talents,” Sophie said. “And we'll ad skating coach to the list, along with cosmetic surgery. My knee is going to be just fine.”

“Cosmetic surgery,” echoed Bo. “That's where the money is.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Lots of women eventually go for a brow lift,” Sophie said.

“Your brows are perfect,” Noah told her. “Don’t ever let anyone mess with your brows.”

“That's sweet,” she said. “But sooner or later, we all need a little help.”

She was an amazing contrast of brains, self-confidence and insecurity. He found it incredibly attractive. But challenging.

“And stud service,” Bo aded. “Don’t forget that. Dr. Noah Shepherd-Veterinary Medicine, Cosmetic Surgery, Emergency Medicine and Stud Service.”

“Shut up.” Noah glowered at him. Belatedly, he realized he shouldn’t have said to shut up. It only egged Bo on.

“I don’t get it,” Sophie said. “Stud service? Are you breeding something?”

Bo slapped his thigh and guffawed. “Didn’t he tell you?”

“That's enough,” Noah said. “You turd, you said your lips were sealed.”

Crutcher ignored him. “They were, but then I drank more beer.” He turned back to Sophie. “Sockeye Calloway's daughter wants to have his baby.”

Sophie didn’t need a surgeon to give her an eyebrow lift.

She did a great job on her own. “Good heavens.”

“I swear, I'm not making this up,” Bo said. “Tina and her partner, Paulette-they're a couple.” He shrugged in bafflement. “Don’t ask me why. That's just the way they roll.”

“I see.” Sophie took a prim sip of her beer.

“Yeah, it's a crying shame, if you ask me.” Bo shook his head tragically, his lion's mane of hair shimmering with the movement.

“Nobody asked you,” Noah said, but he knew it was already too late. The cat was out of the bag and would not be going back in any time soon. I'm an idiot, Noah thought. Stone-cold sober, Bo would take a secret to the grave. However, with a few beers in him, all bets were off.

“So you're saying these women want to have a baby together?” Sophie asked Bo.

“Yep.”

“And they want Noah to ... “

“Yep.”

Sophie gazed at him with eyebrows raised sky-high.

He was quick to say, “Not going to happen, of course. Nothing against Tina and Paulette. I just... when I have kids, I want a little more involvement.”

“It's amazing, the lengths some women will go to in order to be a mother,” Sophie said, then turned to Bo. “I have two children and a grandson.
