I tried so hard for so long to break Harley’s heart. I just didn’t realize that I’d end up shattering mine in the process. I haven’t been able to eat or sleep for days. When I knew Harley was part of my life my days would always brighten whenever I saw her. It’s like she was able to fill in my normally dull world with all of her vivid colors. Now that she’s made a point of letting me know that we are not and never will be together again my world is all gray. Completely colorless.

And it’s not that Harley isn’t still filled with sunshine. She just refuses to share her bright light with me like she used to. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss it.

She always laughs and jokes with all of the patrons. It’s one of the many reasons she makes a fortune in tips. But now she makes a point of completely turning all of her charm off whenever she steps near me. She’s not just her cold and guarded self with me. She’s artic frigid.

She’s even being super nice to Tucker, which is not some-thing he’s used to, but he seems to be enjoying it. And he seems to be enjoying rubbing it in my face even more.

“Harley looks great today,” he comments as we watch her carrying a large tray of beers over to a bowling team that stopped in after their tournament.

“Yup.” I try not to show any emotion, even though I’m dying inside. There’s nothing I want more than to have her naked in my arms, but I know that will never happen again.

“She looks happy. I wonder why?”

I turn to face him. “I know Gracie told you what happened. You know we’re not together anymore.”

“You deserve to have your ass dumped.”

I nod. “I know.”

“And she deserves a lot better than you.”

“I know that too,” I agree.

“At least we’re on the same page about that.”

Tucker doesn’t give me a chance to say anything more. He heads over to where Gracie is standing, takes the broom that she has in her hands and starts sweeping for her.

A few minutes later I notice a tall, muscular, blond guy walk into Haymakers. He’s definitely not from Old Town. Most of the guys around here wear cowboy boots and jeans. This guy is wearing a Hawaiian shirt over a rock concert t-shirt, tan cargo pants and red Converse sneakers. I feel like asking him if he made a wrong turn on his way to the beach, but I refrain.

He definitely looks out of place as he takes a seat at the bar. Before I have a chance to make my way over to him, Harley swoops in. She practically runs me over on her way to serve the guy.

“So,” she says to the beach boy. “What are you having?”

When he smiles at her I feel like I want to punch him. He’s got a smile so wide and teeth so white it’s almost overpowering. I’ve never wanted someone out of my bar as badly as I want this guy gone.
