Chapter Seven

After a good meal of hot wings chased by ice cold beer, Hannah was not only thoroughly relaxed and enjoying herself, she was a lot more ‘in’ to Jeff and the idea of convincing him to go for a homerun on their first date.

After all, he was attractive and he wasn’t likely to be around long.

She might as well live a little! She was bound to have a long dry spell once he was gone.

She chuckled at a stray thought as they left the diner and headed toward the downtown street Festival.

Jeff, glanced at her, smiling curiously.

Hannah shook her head. “That’s the downside to living in a tiny town where you know everybody.”

He lifted his brows questioningly.

She shook her head again, regretting that she’d brought it up. “You can’t go anywhere without running into people you’ve known—all of your life!”

He nodded. “I thought the waiter didn’t look at me very friendly. An old flame?”

Hannah snorted. “Very old. We dated in high school—like a million years ago.”

Jeff laughed. “High school wasn’t that long ago for you,” he disputed gallantly.

Hannah shrugged, her amusement vanishing as it sank in that it actually hadn’t been all that long. It just seemed that way because there’d been so many life-changing events in the years since. “I guess not. Seems that way, though. Seems like a lifetime.”

“Life can be that way,” Jeff responded grimly, “when you lose someone close to you.”

Hannah sent him a glance of surprise but he seemed disinclined to elaborate and she was sorry she’d led them toward unhappy nostalgia.

The festival distracted both of them. Ordinarily public drinking wasn’t allowed, but the ordinance had been relaxed for the festival. Jeff stopped by a vendor and bought them both a cup of spiked punch.

Hannah bit her lip. “I don’t know how familiar you are with that stuff, but they call it hunch punch around here. It’ll knock you on your ass if you aren’t careful.”

Jeff snorted a laugh and inhaled enough of the drink to send him in a coughing fit.

Hannah didn’t know whether to laugh or not. “Sorry!”

He shook his head, chuckled, and then coughed again. “Hunch punch, huh?”

Hannah laughed with embarrassment more than humor. “Hey! I didn’t name it!”

He took another sip. “I don’t taste anything but punch.”

“And you won’t. You’ll wonder what happened tomorrow. It’s got 100 proof golden grain in it. Nobody notices until they’re falling down drunk. They should’ve named it sledge hammer.”

He laughed but he didn’t take another sip.

Hannah was also cautious. She’d already had a buzz from the beer she’d had with the wings. She was mellow enough.

If they got it on, she wanted to remember what happened! She didn’t need to drink herself into a stupor so she could pretend she hadn’t been in any condition to defend her ‘honor’. She was single and a grown woman. She could just decide if she wanted to take him on as a sexual partner.

They had so much fun at the festival, they almost missed the start of the movie.
