“Damn, Billy did you see that?” Jimmy shook his head back and forth as he called out to Billy who was now at the other end of the bar. “She repeated my drink order like it was nothin’.”
I was glad that was how it came off because inside I’d been freaking out.
“We only hire the best!” Billy called back.
Jimmy turned his attention back to me. “I’m impressed, and I don’t impress easily.”
I wasn’t sure what to say to that. “Thanks. Did you want those drinks?”
Jimmy shook his head. “Nah, I just stopped by to meet the woman who broke my big brother.”
“I’m sorry?” I wasn’t sure what he was talking about, but I assumed it had to do with Hank and not Billy his other big brother.
“Hank dropped Sherlock off tonight and was grinnin’ like a fool. I didn’t even know his mouth turned in that direction. I thought it was set to perma-scowl.”
He was the second Comfort man to tell me that. And Mrs. Birch said that I put a pep in Hank’s step that she’d never seen before. My heart raced and my cheeks flushed at the thought that they might actually be right. Was I making him smile? Had I put a pep in his step? And if that were the case, was he going to do something about it? Or was I?
Jimmy slapped his hands on the bar before standing. “I don’t know what you’re doin’, darlin’, but keep it up.”
I watched as he joined a group of guys that cheered when he approached their table. I wished I did know what I was doing because if I did, I would definitely keep it up.
