“Truth or dare, Sunshine?”

“Stop calling me that. You’re an asshole, Manwhore. Don’t even tell me I can’t say that. You started with the nickname shit. And the to-kill-ya!”

So maybe the shots weren’t the best idea. Dinner was good and the conversation better. Normal and uncomplicated, just like I prefer it. Ashton confirmed she had scheduled three interviews for me next week but said she found the perfect fit for office manager. I told her to just hire the woman, but she wants me to interview all three of the ladies and see if we make the same decision.

I agreed.

Reluctantly.

When we finished dinner, I didn’t want the night to end. I know this night is a turning point for us. I’m almost certain this is the night we get our friendship back. Not knowing what else to do, we decided a few drinks wasn’t a bad idea. Without many options in town, Ashton agreed to Country Road. I think she secretly wanted to check out the new bartender Taylor hired.

As always, by the second shot we were starting a game of Truth or Dare. So far only safe truth questions have been exchanged and a single dare. I dared Ashton to attempt to tie the stem of a cherry with her tongue. She accepted and mastered it. Of course she did.

“Hey, Beth. Looks like a good night.”

“Ashton, it’s been great. I don’t know where Taylor found Lexie but she’s fantastic. It’s almost like having you here except not as much cussing.”

Beth and Ashton spend a few minutes talking about work while I finish my beer. Ashton’s body language tells me she’s less than impressed that there may be another bartender here with as much ability as her. By the time I slide my empty bottle across the bar, Beth turns her attention to me. Great.

“I should be off around eleven. Want to get together, Jameson?”

Shooting my look to Ashton, I note how wide her eyes are. Stunned. Her upper lip twitches and she stands abruptly, her stool scraping the floor. Putting my foot up to stop her from going anywhere, I turn my focus to Beth.

“Ya know, Beth, I don’t think so. Ashton and I are out and having a good time.”

“Oh! Oh my goodness!” Hands flying to her chest, Beth’s dramatics don’t go unnoticed by the patrons around us. “I didn’t realize you guys were together. That’s so great! Ash, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I’m so glad you guys finally sucked it up and got together! This is so exciting!”

So many high-pitched exclamations in some sort of
