“But then Gage wouldn’t have been able to come.”
Paxton sighed. “They’ve always liked him more than me.”
Sydney laughed. “I’m sure that’s not true. Especially since you supply them with free alcohol.”
“That’s true. I think the free alcohol is even more appreciated than the free food.”
“You could be right.” She took a sip of her drink. “Wow. This is wonderful.”
“It’s Clem’s favorite these days. Bryn likes the plain virgin margarita better.”
When Sydney’s phone rang, she took it from her purse and smiled when she saw it was Gage. “Hey.”
“We’ll be at the barn in fifteen minutes. Which will put me home in thirty.”
“Okay. What do you want me to order from Remy?”
“A burger and fries.”
“Okay. I’ll get that ordered and meet you at the house.”
“See you soon.”
Paxton leaned on the bar. “Are they headed back?”
“Yes. I need to order a couple of burgers to go.”
Paxton looked toward the restaurant, then whistled when Becca walked by the door. She scowled at him, then changed direction and walked over to the bar.
“I told you to stop whistling for me.”
“Hey, it works.”
“Well, maybe I’ll just stop responding. I’m not a dog.”
Paxton grinned. “I’m sorry. Sydney here would like to order some food to go.”
Becca smiled at Sydney. “You’re the only reason I came in here.”
“Thank you. I need two burgers with fries. I just want mustard, onion, and lettuce on mine. And I’m sure Remy knows how Gage wants his.”
“I’ll get those ordered. It’ll be about fifteen minutes.”
“Thank you, Becca.”
Becca glanced at Paxton, then smiled at Sydney. “You’re welcome.”
Sydney looked at Paxton. “Why do you always harass Becca?”
“Because it’s so easy. And don’t let her fool you. She loves it.”
“I’m not so sure about that.”
When Sydney got to Gage’s house, he was on the porch waiting for her. He stood when she came up the steps with their food.
“I hope you weren’t waiting too long?”
He held up a half-full bottle of beer. “Half a beer’s worth.” He kissed her. “I missed you.”
