She shouldn’t have said anything.

She’d dumped too much on him at once. Now he went and disappeared, and who knew where he was going? Turning around, Lilly stared down the path in the direction she’d come from and headed back to the Mulligan’s parking lot. However, she didn’t want to leave yet. Maybe if she waited long enough, Quinn would come back and talk to her like a civilized person instead of running away at the first sign of conflict. As it was, he’d pretty much dropped a bomb before running away. Yes, they were on different roads, and yes, neither one had made any kind of leap to get them both on the same one, but they’d only known each other a few days.

Just because they hadn’t declared their love for one another and already decided what to do about it didn’t mean what they did have wasn’t worth working through. It hurt her that Quinn would say that, even as she knew that neither of them knew what they were saying half the time when it came to dealing with their feelings for one another. Just that they felt and felt strongly for one another, and given several complicating external factors, didn’t know what to do about it.

Risking odd looks, she walked to the tavern door, pulled on the handle, and heard the chimes, as she entered the humid warmth of the little pub. Everyone craned their necks to look at her, especially Conor, who gave her a confused glance, and she chose a stool at the end of the bar for some peace and quiet.

Paul shuffled over and wiped the area in front of her. “You okay there?”

“Fine.”

“Don’t sound fine to me. What’ll you be having? On the house.” He nodded.

Lilly registered the kindness in the older man’s face, his tight-lipped grimace that reminded her a bit of her father. “A Guinness, I guess. When in Rome…”

“Excellent choice. One pint of the black stuff, coming right up.” He tapped a spot of air in front of her nose, happy with a job to do, and went off to retrieve her drink.

Lilly sighed, kept her eyes off the corner where Bernie and friends were probably talking shit about her. They’d always been on the snooty side, or maybe, being older, they had always just intimidated the hell out of her.

Maybe Quinn’s walking away was for the best. Maybe it was life’s way of reminding her to stay focused. That bigger and better things awaited her in Miami. She might meet a hot Latino man who would sweep her off her feet and sing Enrique Iglesias songs to her. But it’s Irish boys I’ve always loved, she thought. Their saucy smartass banter—the craic, she thought—and the way Quinn kissed like a love god from Venus and laughed like Danny Boy drunk off his ass.

She felt the air next to her being displaced and turned slightly to see another swoony, beautiful smile directed at her. “Told you I was the better brother.
