Chapter 6

"They're still staring," Harry mumbled from behind his pint glass. "It's like that scene in American Werewolf in London when they walk into the Slaughtered Lamb for the first time."

"You're in the cundry now, boyo," Micah said in a broad country accent. "You be one of them 'out of towners' we've heard tell about."

"They're not going to sacrifice me under the next full moon, are they?"

"Nah." Micah took a healthy mouthful of his beer. "Next village sacrifice isn't 'til Halloween."

"Stop, my sides are splitting," Harry deadpanned. He glanced at the bar again. "She's starting to freak me out."

"Maggie is a little protective of me," Micah confessed. There was no point beating around the bush. "I may have leaned heavily on her barmaid's ear during some drunken conversations. Conversations about you."

"Ah," Harry replied, a wealth of understanding in the sound. "That'll be why she's giving me the evil eye. She's probably wishing she's slicing my head into quarters instead of those lemons."

Micah leaned across the table and beckoned to him. "Come 'ere." Harry leaned in and Micah kissed him softly. "There. Feel better?"

"Meh, another should do it." Micah obliged. "Yep, I'm good now."

"Don't worry, her bark is worse than her bite." Micah sat back and heaved a sigh of utter contentment, suddenly hit by the memory of the night he first met Harry. He'd been nervously sipping at a pint then, too—minus the rabid barmaid out for his blood, of course.

"I somehow doubt that." Harry ran a hand through his hair and Micah resisted the urge to capture the dark waves as they fell through his fingers. "Mum's really excited about the tour tomorrow."

"I'm looking forward to booking her in," Micah replied. Deciding to keep to himself the fact that he wanted to test her urine and blood pressure sooner rather than later, as she had looked a little puffy when she'd returned from shopping in town earlier. Of course, it could just be because she'd been on her feet for a period of time, but he wanted to make sure that was all it was.

"Is this a private love fest or can anyone join?"

Micah looked up as Sarah and Gary approached their table, a bottle of wine and four glasses clutched in their hands. "What are you two doing here? Who's looking after my godson?"

"I had a phone call from a certain barmaid we all know and love," Sarah replied, nudging Harry with her hip, indicating he should move to the seat beside him. "She thought I ought to come down and find out what the hell is going on with you and lover boy here. And Algie is with my mum."

"What does it look like is going on?" Micah growled, tossing a glare across the snug at Maggie behind the bar. At least she had the good grace to blush. "My lover and I are having a quiet drink on a Sunday night."

"Lover?" Sarah's gaze widened and she tapped her glass. "Gary, uncork that stuff, babe, and fill this bad boy up.
