He didn’t say anything.

“Okay, then, Roger.”

“Roger?” he scoffed.

“Well, you’re not giving me any hints.”

“It’s not Roger.”

I took a small sip of my cocktail as I drank in those gray eyes. They were just so damn beautiful. “You must be a Theo then.”

“Are we done here?”

“Is that your name?”

Sighing, he caught someone flagging him down and walked away.

“See ya later, Tennessee!”

Cheyenne came bouncing over to me, a grin on her face. “Is that his name? Tennessee?”

“No idea,” I shrugged. “He’s staying at the rental next to me.”

“Ooh, eye candy every day. You’re so lucky.”

“Yeah?” I nudged her as I nodded across the bar. “There’s Archer. Maybe you should go say hi.”

“Ha! He’s made it perfectly clear that he won’t look twice at me.”

“Then Mav,” I said, giving a pointed look to the sheriff. “You’ve always had a thing for him.”

“Hmm, a man with cuffs. Not sure you can go wrong with that.”

“So, you want to help me cheer up my brother?”

“Ugh, do I have to?”

“I can’t stay with him another night if he’s going to mope like this. It’s so sad and pathetic.”

“He needs a new girlfriend, not his sister.”

“Yes, but until he finds that girlfriend, he’s going to drive me crazy.”

I started weaving through the crowd, but the moment I saw the table he was at, I knew this was going to be a long night. He was surrounded by women.

And they were all giving him a pitying look.

“Does that mean we don’t have to cheer him up?” Cheyenne hissed.

“It means this night just got a whole lot worse.”

“Then I’m going to put in a song for us.”

“Sister Sledge!” I called out.

“Not a chance in hell!”

Well, that sucked. “I got you a drink,” I said, sliding the glass across the table to Sawyer.
