Siobhan was sure she hadn’t taken a breath in hours. It was after ten, and it looked like it wouldn’t slow down until closing. She huffed. She missed seeing Liam, but he didn’t owe her anything. They did shots together, and that didn’t make up a relationship of any kind.
“Damn, is it me, or are we swamped tonight?” Laura asked her as she was making a mixed drink.
“I was thinking the same thing. I feel like I’m on automation. Take an order, make a drink, set it on the bar, repeat.”
Laura laughed. “It can get hectic. Dominic arrived twenty minutes ago, and I haven’t had the chance to say hi to him.”
“I know—”
“Liam’s here,” Scarlett said as she passed by.
Siobhan gasped and almost dropped the drink in her hand. She quickly set it on the bar and glanced around. There he was. At the bar.With a woman…
“Damn it.”
“He just got here, and she was already here. I waited on her.” Laura smiled.
“Oh, God. Laura, I love you.”
“I love you too. Now, go take his order.”
Siobhan grinned. “Thanks. I think I will.”
She walked to where he sat. The woman talked to him, but he paid little attention. He looked tired.
“Liam? What can I get you?”
“Hey, Irish. How have you been?”
“Wonderful. You?”
“Good.”
“I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“Branding season for calves.”
She grinned. “I have no idea what that means.”
When he chuckled, she wanted to straddle him and ride him.
“It’s a busy time. Just take my word for it.”
“Okay. Do you want a beer?”
“No, thanks. Could I get a cup of coffee?”
“Of course.” She walked to the coffeepot, filled a mug, and returned to him. “Here you go.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” She stared into his eyes until he glanced away, and she sighed.
She turned away from him, walked along the bar, and took orders. She finally had to admit he wasn’t interested in her and never would be.
The thing was, she had never been so attracted to a man so fast. Even Garrison had to win her over. But it was instant with Liam, and it did her no good. It was time to get over wanting him and move on.
“Hey, sweetheart, can I get a beer?”
