Siobhan sighed and turned to look at the man. He was good-looking. With a smile, she moved closer to the bar.
“Bottle or tap?”
“Tap is fine, hon.” He grinned.
Siobhan smiled, got his beer, and moved on to the next patron. She tried to enjoy the evening but was so down about Liam. It was silly, but her heart dropped when he turned those beautiful dark blue eyes her way.
As the night went on, she laughed and flirted with the cowboys. She led none of them on and went home alone. It had been so long since she had sex, she was sure she had forgotten how to do it. She glanced over at Liam.
“No doubt he could remind you,” she muttered.
When Laura rang the bell for the last call, everyone ordered as fast as they could. Siobhan kept making drinks or handing out beer. She took a deep breath and walked to where Liam sat.
“Liam? Do you need anything?”
“A nice bed to fall into.” He smiled.
She folded her arms on the bar. “You look tired.”
“Irish, tired is an understatement.”
“You shouldn’t drive if you’re that tired.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“No. I can tell you’re exhausted. You can sleep on my sofa.”
“I’ll be fine, darlin’. I appreciate the gesture, but I’ll go home.”
“Of course, you will,” she snapped.
“What the hell does that mean?”
She shook her head. “Nothing. Have a good night.”
“Siobhan?”
“What?”
“What did you mean by that?”
Taking a deep breath, she gazed into his eyes and told him.
“Liam, I have done almost everything to make you notice me, and it’s done me no good. You don’t like me for some reason, and that’s fine, but I don’t know what I did to you. You can’t even sleep on my sofa. Please be careful driving home.” She walked away from him and headed for Scarlett’s office down the hallway, wondering where her courage had come from.

“What the hell?” Liam muttered as he watched her disappear into the crowd.
Shaking his head, he waved Laura over to pay for his tab, but glanced toward the hallway.Women.
He stood and pushed through the crowd, changed his mind, and went down the hallway. He needed to talk to her.
“Trying to get me to notice her? Oh, I noticed, Irish. I definitely noticed,” he murmured as he strode along the hall.
He had no idea where she’d gone, but she stepped into the hall as he was about to turn around and leave when a door opened. She came to a halt when she saw him.
“Liam? I thought you’d be gone.”
