“I have to admit. He’s very cute.”
Sydney sighed. “He is, isn’t he?”
“Are we going to marry the newspaper guy someday?”
“Yeah. Or maybe we’ll just live together forever. I don’t really care.”
“Kids?”
“I don’t know. If it happens. It happens.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yes.”
“I guess you never were the girl who couldn’t wait to grow up and have a family.”
She went to the window and looked at the grass in the front yard. It was green now and in need of a mow. “His siblings are doing a pretty good job in the baby department. There will always be kids around.”
“I’m glad you found your guy, Sydney. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy.”
“I know.”
“Speaking of children, mine sound like they’re killing each other, so I need to go.”
“Tell them Auntie Sydney loves them.”
“Will do.”
“I’ll talk to you soon.”
Gage had left early in the morning to go on a trail ride with Cooper and Cabe. He told Sydney he’d call her when they were back in cell range so she could meet him at his house. Sydney expected the call to come soon, so she went to the tavern to wait. She’d be bringing food for them to have for an early dinner. He’d be hungry after spending all day on the back of a horse.
She went into the bar and got a smile from Paxton. He went to her and set a napkin down in front of her.
“Drinking alone?”
She laughed. “No. But can you make me a virgin something?”
“Sure. Margarita? Daiquiri? Any preference?”
“Surprise me.”
Paxton went to make her drink, and Sydney looked around the room. There were only a few customers, which didn’t surprise her. It was Sunday afternoon.
Paxton returned with her drink, which was pink and had fresh strawberries on top.
“Strawberry daiquiri?”
“Strawberry margarita.”
“Perfect.”
“I don’t see you without Gage these days. What’s he doing?”
“He went on a ride with Cooper and Cabe.”
“Dammit. They were supposed to do it tomorrow so I could come.”
