She crossed her arms in a huff. “What about you?”
“Me? What about me?”
“Tell me what happened with your girl.”
“Oh, that,” he said, his tone suddenly somber. “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going to happen there.”
Tucking her leg under her, she turned her body toward him. “Who left who?”
“She left me, I’m afraid to say.”
“And what did you do?”
He sighed, looking down at his hands for a minute. “I didn’t do anything... I don’t think.” He looked at her, searching her face. “She said I worked too much.”
“But that bar… It’s your life.”
“Uh-huh, but she doesn’t see it that way. All she sees it as is something to distract me.”
“If I’m going to be honest with you, she sounds a little needy.”
A ghost of a smile touched his lips. “She is, but I like it. I like to be needed.”
“You’re breaking my heart, Ethan,” Evangeline said.
“What? Why?”
“Well, we never would’ve worked out if this thing progressed into anything more. I like independent, strong men who don’t need or want to be relied on.”
“Like your ex, huh?”
Beau truly was the man she wanted. Would he ever take her back after the way she treated him though?
“You should go and see him. Tomorrow or the next day.”
“Maybe I will,” she said softly. “And you need to cut back on your hours if this girl is the one for you.”
“Maybe I will,” he said, his words echoing hers.
Evangeline’s phone beeped. It was a text from Natasha.
Home safe. I got three.
The text was signed out with a winking emoji and she shook her head.
“What does that mean? She got three?” Ethan was peering over her shoulder at the message.
“Three orgasms,” she replied.
Ethan snorted. “Tell her I gave you four.”
“You’re awfully confident about that.”
“Well, my ex never complained.”
She threw her head back and laughed. “Maybe that was the real reason she left.”
“That’s cold, Evangeline.” She shrugged. “So, are you working tomorrow?”
