Loneliness, fear, the fact that she was about to walk away from the man she loved, all plagued her mind. “What’s on your mind?” he asked once they were sitting and facing each other. He led her to the opposite end of the room, away from everyone to an empty table. With a nod, Adam acknowledged the pretty bartender she knew as Maxie. “Let’s go talk.” He placed a hand on her back and guided her past the shuffle board to the stairs that led to the lounge.Īs usual the lounge was quieter, less crowded, with a smaller bar. “I said I would.” Okay, her voice shook just a bit, but overall she had to give herself brownie points for sounding relatively calm. “I didn’t think you were going to come,” he said in a low voice.

Heart in her throat, she watched Adam put away the bottle of liquor and walk to the edge of the bar where she stood.
