***

I got to work early and made myself my usual coffee before my shift started. The walk to work for once was not riddled with wind or rain, so I felt much better about the fact that I had spent so much time on my hair and make-up as it hadn’t been ruined in the process of getting there. The difference must have been evident, because even Ryan commented on it.

“You look nice tonight.” He grinned when he appeared from his back office. I thanked him and tried not to show that his compliment had caught me off guard. He pressed a code into the cash register and it made a loud dinging sound as the cash drawer popped open and he deposited a stack of tens and fives into it. When he closed it again, Ryan made his way over to the bar stool I was sitting on and leaned in close.

“Just a heads-up,” he said in a low voice, “but Maria is here and she’s been digging at me for the past two hours for information on you and Cole.” He gave me a look that I could not quite comprehend. “As a matter of fact, most of the folks who’ve come in today want to know about Cole’s new woman.” He failed to hide the smirk on his face when he said this, and I rolled my eyes.

“I’m just trying to figure out how it’s anyone else’s business what goes on between us.”

“Oh, a bit snippy about it, are we?” Ryan retorted. “Sorry to burst your bubble, darling, but you live in a small town now and everyone and their dog seems to be talking about the fact that Cole’s truck was in your driveway until early this morning.”

I silently cursed myself for asking Cole to stay with me. Almost immediately, I took it back. I mean, in the scheme of things, who really cared what other people thought of me or what I was or wasn’t doing with Cole?

Small town folks were going to draw their own conclusions and gossip about it no matter what the real story was, so I may as well just let them do their thing while I did mine. Besides, Maria just wanted the gossip firsthand. All I knew was I sure as hell wasn’t about to let her opinion or anyone else’s affect my relationship with Cole, despite still being unsure of what exactly the definition of our relationship was. If I didn’t even have a solid opinion yet about it, there was no way I could allow someone else’s opinion to matter.

“It’s not what you think, Ryan, but I am not having this conversation with you anyway.”

“That may be the case, Amy, and I don’t care either way. I’m just giving you a friendly warning that, while I don’t want to know the details of whatever is going on between you and my brother, other folks aren’t going to be so tactful around here. Feel free to tell them all to go to hell.
