CHAPTER SIX

REX

JETT WIPES THE EXCESS ink off my tattoo as he finishes up the touch up work. “So, how are things going with Nancy?”

“What do you mean? I finished up the job at her shop weeks ago. I showed you the pictures, remember?”

“Yeah, you absolutely killed it on the woodworking. I just figured you’d use it as your excuse to start things, not end them,” Jett suggests with a shrug.

I lift myself up off the tattoo table and tuck in my shirt. “You know, it is possible to be nice and not expect anything in return,” I respond with more than a hint of sarcasm.

“True enough. Few people actually are,” he counters.

“Bingo! You made my argument for me. That’s exactly why I should walk away. She expects to have to repay me,” I reply stubbornly.

“You’ve been alone a long time Rex. I haven’t seen you this interested in someone in years. Do you really want to walk away?”

I stuff my hands in my pocket. “Honestly? It’s the last thing I want to do. But … what’s done is done.”

Jett reaches behind him and pulls his laptop off the counter. He brings his Facebook page up and shows me something in his feed. “What if I told you ‘done’ isn’t really done?”

“What you mean?”

Jett nods toward the page. “Nancy is holding a class. She’s broadcasting it all over the web. She’s nervous no one will show up, so she wants a few friendly faces there. You in?”

“What kind of class?”

“I don’t know, read the post, man! It’s some sort of Christmas message asking for support from her friends. She invited all of us. Diamond and Jade are totally jazzed. My daughter insists this class will help my tattoo work. I don’t know if she’s right — but Nancy is in a tight spot, so I figure it’s for a good cause. If you go, I won’t be the only dude in the class.”

I shrug. “Works for me.”

Jett laughs out loud. “For a guy with such strong moral principles, you sure caved mighty quick.”

I sigh. “I don’t know what it is about the lovely Ms. Williams. I can’t seem to stop thinking about her. From the second I walked out of her store, I regretted my decision. Maybe this is my chance to have a do-over.”

“Stranger things have been known to happen around here.”
