Chapter Twelve

"Whoa, hot mama alert!" Ali exclaimed as Brynn entered the bar area at Lanterns.

Jess put her fingers between her lips and whistled.

Brynn felt her cheeks heat up at her friends’ attention. Considering her fair complexion, that probably meant that her face resembled a lobster.

"Have you guys been here long?" Brynn felt odd for not being the first one to arrive. She normally was.

After rehearsal, she'd rushed home. Showered. Straightened her hair. Watched a YouTube tutorial on how to contour and highlight, then contoured and highlighted, finishing it off with a smoky eye and a nude lip. She'd even splurged and bought a new shirt for the occasion. It was a white, long sleeved, wrap shirt that tied in the front and showed a hint of skin above the waistline of her dark, skinny jeans. She’d completed the look with strappy heels, hoop earrings, and several spritzes of her favorite perfume.

She couldn't remember the last time she'd changed out of her work clothes before grabbing a drink with the girls for happy hour. Probably because she never had. But tonight, she'd gone all out in hopes of distracting herself from the constant Axel-narrative that had been running through her mind for the past month. Tonight, she was going to have an Axel-free night.

"We just got here." Ali gave her a quick hug. "We ordered you a Let Down Your Hair."

The spiked lemonade drink was Brynn's go-to ladies’ night cocktail. Jess always went with the Mother Knows Best sparkling cran and vodka. And Ali loved the Smokin' Smolder, a whiskey drink with a cinnamon stick garnish set on fire. All of the specialty cocktails at Lanterns were now Tangled themed.

A lot of the businesses really played up the fairytale themes since the reality show Fairytale Love was filmed in Whisper Lake. If there was one thing this town knew well, it was how to capitalize on tourism.

"I don't know about you ladies, but I'm ready to get bibbity-boppity-buzzed," Jess announced as Liam, the bartender, set three drinks down in front of them with a wink and a smile, revealing perfect teeth and a deep dimple in his left cheek.

Brynn took a moment to look at him, really look.

His sandy hair was a little longer than he normally wore it, and the extra length suited him. His light locks contrasted with his deep brown eyes, dark lashes, and sprinkle of stubble. He was attractive, funny, and smart. He was currently working on his MBA with ambitions to open up his own restaurant consulting business. More importantly, he’d previously shown an interest in her.

Liam had asked her out twice. The first time she'd told him she was busy. The second, she'd expanded on her answer with a blanket statement that she didn't date because she was too busy. Now, she was wondering if she should tell him that she wasn't so busy anymore.

The selection of eligible bachelors in Whisper Lake was limited, but she was determined to put herself back on the market.
