Chapter Twenty-Four

There was a single diner in the little town whose name was Joe’s, not very original. The most remarkable thing about it was the wooden bear statue standing in front of it, one paw raised and jaws wide open. Not exactly appetite inducing, although the scents coming from the grill watered Nadine’s mouth.

“Good to see you back in town,” a waiter greeted Connor when they stepped through the door. “Fish not biting?”

“Not even a fish story,” Connor said.

“Too bad.” The beefy man rolled up his sleeves. “Better luck tomorrow.”

“You bet.”

The waiter grabbed two menus and led them to a cozy booth in the corner under a mounted set of moose antlers, no embalmed head, thankfully.

“Does everyone know everyone here?” Nadine asked after they were seated.

“Pretty much. I met him down at the general store buying bait this morning. Are you enjoying it here? Being out away from the city?”

“I am. I’ve only been to the small town my mother’s from. There’s a diner at the crossroads of two state highways. Just a tiny little building, sort of like this one.”

Connor flipped over the one sheet menu laminated in plastic. “Hope you don’t mind having seven or eight items on the menu.”

“Hey, it’s more than what we would have had with our single fish.” Nadine glanced at the entrees. Being with Connor was so easy and comfy, except for the heightened sexual tension that kept her on edge. It was positively frustrating to be with him all day and not snuggle in his arms or enjoy his kisses.

“You had to remind me.” He snorted and buried his face in the menu.

“At least it’s not the hundred fifty item menu at the Vietnamese restaurant I interviewed at. Maybe I can handle waitressing here.”

“That’s an idea.” Connor chuckled. “Then I can have you stashed away at the cabin with your canvases and paints.”

Like a sidepiece while he spent most of his time in the city with Elaine? No way, no how, no chance.

Nadine’s nostrils flared as she raised the menu to hide behind it.

The waiter returned with their water and pointed at a chalkboard. “Our catch for the day is beer batter fried fish and chips with a side of coleslaw, like it is every day, or if you’ve a hankering for the exotic, we have blackened catfish Louisiana style.”

“I’ll definitely take the catfish,” Nadine said. “If that’s the most exotic fare you have.”

“Regular beer batter fish and chips for me,” Connor said. “And a beer. What do you recommend?”

“We have a large selection of craft beers,” the waiter said. He spouted off five brand names that Nadine recognized as fake craft beer brands owned by corporate breweries.

The waiter took their drink orders and barged his way to the taps.

“You don’t like this place,” Connor said. He glanced at the moose antlers overhead.

“I didn’t say that.” Nadine shrugged. “Except I think they’re trying too hard to be backwoods. I mean, look at the pick and shovel they have mounted over the exit.
