“Or someone.” Dallas grins over the rim of his glass.

I throw the dishrag at him. “You two take your psychology degrees and hit the road.”

They laugh at my response.

It feels good—easy.

“I’mhitting the road,” Lily announces. “I have to run and grab something from the bakery, and I’ll be back for Nan’s karaoke night in twenty minutes.”

Griffin rolls his eyes. “That’s my cue to leave before it gets loud in here.”

“Come on, Grumpy Griffin,” I say with my arms out to my side. “The fun’s just getting started.”

“What he said.” Lily waves over her shoulder at me as she walks away.

I clap my hands together. “Let’s have a good night!”

CHAPTER 12

TRYING TO GET ME DRUNK SO I FORGET HOW MUCH YOU ANNOY ME?

Scottie

Lily

Hiiiii, Scottie. Do you have plans tonight?

Me

I wasn’t planning anything.

Lily

Do you want to go out tonight?

Me

I still need to shower after working outside all day. What time were you thinking?

Lily

I can pick you up at seven. It’s karaoke night at Seven Stools!

Me

Seven Stools?

Lily

My brother’s bar on Main Street! Nan organizes it and it’s the best night!

I didn’t plan on going out tonight.

After a full day of filming, my body wants nothing more than to collapse in bed, close my eyes, and forget that I’m renovating a “dream home” on television with the man who once made me forget my own name.

But the idea of having a friend in Bluestone Lakes is something I don’t want to pass up. So, instead of rotting in bed, I’m dressed and ready for karaoke night.

I start to gather my stuff in my purse and my mind drifts to Tucker. Why am Istillthinking about him right now? All day, Tucker was…infuriating.
