Hawk didn’t make a habit of going to Thirsty’s on a regular basis, much less during the middle of the week, but since he’d taken a sabbatical from women, it was better than being bored at home or stopping by the regular watering holes.

“Are you here for just a drink? Or are we going to be eating dinner too?” James asked.

“I’ll start with a Stella.”

“No bourbon?”

“I need to keep a clear head.” He flipped open his laptop. “I’ve got some work to get through.” And he had a woman to get off his mind. But instead of opening up his email, he brought up a browser and put in Kennedy Monroe’s name. He’d Googled her three times already. She was perfect for his parents. Wholesome, but not so much so that she looked fake. Her Facebook had just enough stupid drinking pictures to show she knew how to let loose, and on her Instagram, she tended to post a few pictures showing a little skin.

He had to admit, he liked that.

But he didn’t like that other men were looking at her with the same appreciation he was.

He also didn’t really care for all her past history with John. Two years of her life with him and he hadn’t given her the respect of telling her that he no longer loved her before taking another woman to bed. Feeling like a total stalker, he closed the browser and pulled up his email.

“Hawk? Hawk Jefferson?” a man called out from across the room. “Is that really you?”

He glanced over his shoulder. “Holy fuck.” He jumped up from his stool. “What the hell are you doing here?” Hawk stretched out his hand to greet his old friend from college.

“My wife and I just moved here literally yesterday,” Rusty Green said. “This is Lilly.”

Lilly rested her hands on her very round belly. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“You as well. And congratulations,” Hawk said.

“Thanks. I’ve been planning on looking you up, but I figured you would have bodyguards or something. We’re always seeing you on the covers of magazines and on the red carpet and with all these beautiful actresses and models.” Rusty had been one of the biggest players back in the day, going from one hot chick to the next, but who didn’t have some wild oats to sow at one point or another in their life?

“Well, those days are over after the last fiasco.”

“I read about that,” Lilly said. “It’s women like that who make it hard for real victims.”

“That’s so true,” Rusty said.

“So, how did the two of you end up in this joint? It’s not really date night material.”

“We’re staying at the hotel across the street until we can get into our house next week, and we were told Thirsty’s has the best burgers, and Lilly here, since she’s been pregnant, can’t get enough beef.” Rusty let out a hardy laugh. “Are you having dinner? Why don’t you join us? We haven’t ordered yet.”

“I was going to meet my girlfriend in a little while.
