“Not well, but I’m in here enough. It’s the place to be social if you don’t drink alcohol.”
“You don’t drink? Ever?”
“Not during season. Sometimes in the summer. I don’t get all the fuss. It can be fun, but it destroys your body for days afterward.”
“Yeah, but enjoying a glass of red wine once in a while is healthy.”
“Hell, they’re even saying coffee and chocolate are healthy these days.”

He cracked a smile.
“Just do it.”
I did, my hand feeling better.
“I’m a nurse. I do know cold helps with burns.”
He poured himself a glass of water.
“Take it back, bitch!” someone yelled across the restaurant.
I spun my head around. My heart sank as I saw one of the guys who had accosted me. He was holding a plate toward Janice. She glanced around looking nervous.
