Then why am I here, Joe?
Did you bring me here to flirt with some woman in front of me?
Do you want me jealous right now?
What is this…
“You wanted to know,” Joe said.
“Yeah, I did,” I said. “So you thought that, right? You pictured it. But then you decided against it. You called me instead. Well, not me. You called for help.”
“No, I called you, Anna,” he said. “I’d rather you here instead.”
Joe moved away from me and grabbed for his drink.
I swallowed hard.
Jealousy had left my body, replaced by…
No. No, Anna. Don’t admit it. Don’t think it. Don’t…
… being turned on.
“Cheers, Dr. Autumn,” Joe said.
I reached for my glass.
My hand shaking.
“Cheers… Joe…”
“Your boys blew it!”
I looked at Joe.
He looked at the television screen.
The hockey game went into overtime and with less than a minute left, they lost.
I saw the way it pissed Joe off.
It didn’t help that this Ralphie guy was across the bar yelling at Joe.
I had to hand it to Joe.
He didn’t respond.
He did his best to ignore it.
“Getting to overtime and then giving it up!”Ralphie called out.
Shayna came over to Joe, ignoring me.
“Want me to ask him to leave?”
She stared at Joe with sultry eyes.
And I didn’t have a leg to stand on in the situation.
