She wondered if Liam showed up for the festival. She hadn’t seen him in weeks. She had been so disappointed that he didn’t show up that Saturday night. She thought he’d be back, especially after that kiss.
Siobhan touched her lips. The man knew how to kiss, and she had been so happy about that, but now he didn’t come around. Was he that busy, or was it that he just didn’t like her?
She shook her head. He thought the kiss was good too. Good? What an understatement. It had been toe-curling, and she wanted more, but obviously, he didn’t.
“Damn him,” she murmured as she walked through the parking lot to the stairs around the back of the diner.
After climbing the stairs, she unlocked the door and entered the apartment. She loved living here. She added small personal items, and it finally looked like home. She plopped onto the sofa and thought about Liam.
What was it with him? Did he only want a one-night stand? She shook her head. She didn’t do those. Although, after he kissed her, she considered it. She almost caved when he told her he’d rather sleep with her.
“You’ve never slept with a man before knowing him. Why start now?” She sighed. “Because he’s so damn hot, and I bet he knows how to use those sexy lips on a woman.”
Picking up the remote, she aimed it at the TV but found nothing worth watching. With a sigh, she stood and decided to get breakfast at the diner and walk around town. She couldn’t wait for the festival.
She entered the diner and smiled when some patrons waved or called out to her. She sat at the counter, picked up the menu, and scanned it.
“Hi, Siobhan. How are you today?” Connie asked her as she poured her a glass of ice water.
“Wonderful, Connie. You?”
“Same. Are you going to the festival?”
“I will tomorrow. I work tonight.”
“How’s the job going?”
“I love it.”
“It’s nice to have a job you love.”
“Yes, it is. Um, I’ll have a western omelet.”
“You got it, hon. I’ll get that to you soon.”
Siobhan nodded and glanced around the diner. She knew a lot of the people could be tourists. There was a bed-and-breakfast, along with a guest ranch in Spring City, that people flocked to every year. The little towns thrived.
Some people loved it here so much they moved here. She was one of them. When she finally visited her grandmother, she fell in love with Clifton, and now there was a man here she desperately wanted. A lot of good that did her.
He tells her he’s interested in her but no longer shows up.Men.
“Can’t live with ‘em and can’t shoot ‘em.”
“You have to be talking about men,” a voice beside her said.
Siobhan looked to see a woman smiling at her.
“I was. They say we’re difficult to understand. I beg to differ.”
The woman laughed and put her hand out.
“I’m Lydia Griffin.”
“Siobhan O’Brien,” she said as she shook her hand.
“Beautiful name. Are you new here?”
“I’ve been here a few months now. My grandmother is Fiona O’Brien.”
