“I walked.”

“You… walked? Are you crazy?”

“I live over the diner.”

“I don’t care where you live. No woman should be out alone this late.”

When her hands went to her hips, his first thought was, when will you learn not to piss off a woman?

“It’s a few blocks.”

“A lot can happen in a few blocks. I know there isn’t a lot of crime here, but not everyone in that bar is from here. There is a good bit of tourists here.”

“I’m fine.” She shrugged and began walking again.

“Son of a bitch,” Liam muttered as he ran to his truck, climbed in, then drove after her. “What a damn hardhead.”

He drove alongside her and put the window down.

“Siobhan, get in the truck.”

“How do I know you’re not a person I need to be cautious around?”

Liam stopped the truck, pinched the bridge of his nose, and huffed. He got out of the vehicle and jogged after her. He grasped her arm and turned her to look at him.

“You know better.”

“Do I? I don’t know you at all, Liam.”

“Let’s change that.”

“I will not be a one-night stand for you, Liam Flynn, so you can leave if that’s what you think.”

“We already discussed this. I know you’re not, so let’s see if this can lead to something.”

“Don’t you dare break my heart, Liam Flynn.”

He placed his hand over his heart. “I promise I will try not to do that. Hell, I don’t want you to break mine, either. Been there.”

“So have I.”

“Please, get in the truck. I’ll take you home.”

She sighed, walked to the passenger side, and climbed inside. She put her seatbelt on and looked at him.

“Happy now?” she snapped.

He turned his head away and chuckled.

“Sure.” He drove out of the parking lot, along Main Street, to the diner. He glanced at her.

“Around the back to the stairs.”

Once he parked by the steps, he exited the vehicle and walked around to get the door for her, but she was already out.

“I could have gotten that for you.”

“I can open a door.”
