TEASER:
“Shannon?”
The solemn expression on her face was
replaced by a tentative smile. “I wasn’t sure you’d remember me.”
Her simple pleasure washed over him
like a warm wave. What the hell was going on with him? He didn’t want to feel
this way. He retreated immediately, shutting down all emotion. “Sure I
remember,” he replied gruffly.
Her smile disappeared and her
nervousness returned. “Here’s your menus. I’ll be back to take your orders in a
minute.” She backed away, almost stumbling into the table behind her before
turning and scurrying away to the kitchen.
“Man, you still have the touch with
the women.” Shamus picked up the menus and handed one over to him. “Way to
scare her away.”
“I didn’t scare her away.” He grabbed
the menu from his brother. “I hardly said anything to her.”
“It wasn’t what you said, but how you
said it. You’re one scary son-of-a-bitch when you want to be.” That said,
Shamus opened his menu and perused his choices.
