Two nights later, he drove to Dewey’s. Why, he had no idea. He sure as hell would not look for a woman. The one he wanted was in Denver.
He entered the bar and groaned at the crowd. He pushed through them, reached the bar, and sat on a stool.
“Liam. It’s good to see you,” Laura said.
“You too, Laura. Could I get a Callahan and Coke?”
“Sure thing. I’ll be right back.”
“Yes, ma’am.” He turned on the stool to watch the crowd, then spun around when Laura placed his drink on the bar.
“Let me know if you need anything else.”
“Thanks, Laura.” He hesitated. “Uh, Laura?”
“Yes?”
“Have you, uh, heard from Siobhan?”
“We text all the time.” Laura stared at him. “You made a mistake.”
He huffed. “I know.”
“Then why are you sitting here? Go to Denver and bring her home.”
Liam ran his hand over his mouth. “It wouldn’t do any good.”
“It will if you tell her what she needs to hear.”
He stared at Laura. Was she right? Would Siobhan come back to him if he did as she asked? Hell.
“You need to grow some damn balls, Flynn.” He put money on the bar and walked out.

Siobhan laughed at something a customer said, but it died when she saw him.Liam.He sat at the bar, and she couldn’t stop staring. Was he really here, or was she imagining it?
“Sweetheart, isn’t that your man?” Ted asked her.
“He’s not my man, but yes, that’s Liam. Why is he here?”
Ted chuckled. “Now, why do you think he’s here? He’s here for you, sugar. He’s even more handsome in person.”
“He can’t be here,” she whispered as hope soared at the thought.
“Well, he is, and you just remember how you felt when your friend you worked with at the cowboy bar… what was her name?”
“Laura,” she said, not taking her eyes off Liam.
“Yeah, Laura. Remember when she told you he’d been shot at? You said it would've killed you to lose him. You have the chance to make sure you don’t.”
Taking a deep breath, she nodded and walked to Liam. He didn’t take his eyes off her.
“Liam? What are you doing here?”
Her cheeks warmed as he stared at her, and she watched a grin lift his lips.
“I’m here for you, Irish.”
