I laughed. “Jesus Christ.”
“I’m really glad you’re happy, Noah.”
I smiled. “Me too, sweetheart.”
“Okay, I’ll come.”
“Good.” I crossed my arms. “Now, tell me what happened with this guy?”
“He comes into the bar sometimes. He’s always been nice, asking me multiple times to take me out. I said yes and he was great. Until we got back here and then he turned into a complete asshole.”
I sighed. “Okay, babe, we’re gonna deal with him.”
“I would love to say you don’t need to, but that would be a lie.”
“Let me let Sabrina know—”
“Oh, I don’t need you to stick around. I’d actually rather you didn’t.”
“Randy, you’ve had a rough night, I’d rather you weren’t alone.”
“I’ll call Maddie.”
Madlyn was her best friend, had been forever, and was more trouble than she was worth sometimes.
“Not sure Maddie’s the best idea,” I countered.
“That’s because she scares you.”
I grinned. “You might be right.”
“I’m fine, Stoney.”
“I’m gonna wait until Maddie’s here.”
She rolled her eyes. “Fine. Come on. My phone’s downstairs.”
I followed her downstairs and waited for her to text Madlyn. I sent a quick text to Sabrina and then waited until the flurry of drama who went by the name of Madlyn let herself in with her key and glared at me as she hugged Miranda. “What happened?”
“Stoney saved me from a fate worse than death,” Randy said.
“Being pecked to death by crows?”
Randy chuckled. “No.”
“I’m gonna head out,” I said. “But if you need me, text me.”
“I will.” She smiled. “Thanks, Noah.”
“Of course.” I kissed her cheek. “Good to see you, Maddie.”
“Whatever,” Madlyn retorted.
I grinned, and walked out the door, climbing on my bike and heading toward my salvation.
