“We didn’t do much talking.”

Trigger’s eyebrows lifted.

I pointed at him.

“Don’t.”

He closed his mouth.

Rylie was still watching me.

“She changed.”

“So did I.”

“She never married.”

I looked toward the back room before I could stop myself.

Rylie smiled.

“I didn’t ask,” I said.

“You wanted to.”

“No.”

“You looked at her left hand.”

Trigger stared at me.

“You did?”

“I was checking whether she carried a weapon.”

“On her ring finger?” Rylie asked.

I walked back behind the bar.

Max followed me.

Trigger and Rylie followed Max.

Wolf stayed where he was, looking far too entertained.

“I don’t know her,” I said.

Rylie leaned against the counter.

“You knew her once.”

“Four dates isn’t knowing someone.”

“You remember how many?”

I stopped.

Rylie’s smile widened.
