Chapter Twelve

SHANNON WASN’T CALLING it a date—because it wasn’t a date. Sean might have asked her out for a pint at Two Moons, and she may have said yes—but it still wasn’t a date. There was a whole connotation there that she wasn’t comfortable with.

But she couldn’t deny that it felt kind of good to walk into the brewpub with Sean and have the ladies eye her with envy. Only she was keeping that little secret. What she felt and how she chose to act were very different things. She could think whatever she wanted to about Sean, but she was staying completely hands-off and not doing anything.

Or anyone.

Sean led her to a booth against the far wall with windows that overlooked the huge brick patio. Double glass doors opened onto it, and Shannon could hear the sound of water rushing from the waterfall feature that sat smack in the center of the outdoor entertaining space, surrounded by tall grasses and echinacea. The sun had just set and the tables out there were packed with pubgoers soaking up the gorgeous summer evening and surrounded by lit Tiki torches.

A few dozen more people were milling around inside the open-raftered pub, chatting casually and listening to the jukebox shift through tunes. Tonight, for whatever reason, nineties grunge was the thing. It was too bad Colleen wasn’t there; she’d have been going crazy with all these guys digging on Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Though many of them weren’t actually doing so, she could tell that in their hearts they were all lighting cigarettes, growing their hair long—and her sister’s personal favorite—wearing flannel. Long live Kurt Cobain, man.

“Here, why don’t you take this side?” Sean said to her. “I’ll grab us a few pints and be right back.”

Shannon smiled and sat down. She’d worn her hair loose tonight and tossed it over her shoulder. “Sure thing.” It would give her a few minutes to have a better look around anyway. Still, she shamelessly scoped out his backside as he made his way through the crowd toward the bar where Jake was busy bartending and getting hit on by the ladies. It was easy to see why, now that she had a clear look at him. The guy was gorgeous, in that gruff, masculine kind of way. And when he chose to bring out his smile, it was almost brutalizing in its raw sex appeal.

This guy used to be in a rock band? Yeah, she could see it. He had that quality about him. Huh. Maybe she should go ask him about that Hole in The Wall guy after all. See if he knew anything. Because that man had to be an anomaly.

Or maybe, more importantly, she should find out what he was willing to share about Sean. See if she could turn up anything. Although at this point, she was pretty certain that there was nothing to find. And deep down, she was glad. She wanted to believe in his innocence.

Then a thought occurred to her that she didn’t like.
