“We’re good. I can handle it for an afternoon.”

“That’s good, I can assure you the Masterson woman are worth it,” he said with a smile.

“There is not a doubt in my mind about that,” he said.

At least Allen seemed like a decent guy, and he enjoyed his couple interactions with Evie’s father. They were the most important here, and he was glad of that because the other men golfing with them seemed pretentious as fuck, especially Bryan.

He stopped off at the restroom before all this started at shot a text off to Evie.

Cash - You didn’t tell me your ex was going to be here today

He waited for the dancing dots, but when they didn’t come, he slipped his phone back in his pocket. It was a couple hours; he could get through this. Later he would be out with Evie, and everything would be better, as long as he didn’t punch her ex-boyfriend or embarrass himself.

“So, you gotta tell me, what’s it like to be a professional hockey player? I bet you get some serious ass?”

Cash turned as saw Bryan with a smirk on his face he really wanted to punch right off.

“There was a time it was like that but not anymore though. I really do love playing. The game has –”

“I bet, different girl in every city. That’s what I’ve heard.”

Cash pulled back and gave in a once over. What was his angle? “No. I’m a one-woman guy.”

“Come on, I know how it is…what’s on the road stays on the road, am I right?”

Cash just looked at him for a moment. This was Evie’s ex? He was having a hard time seeing it, but he also sure as fuck wasn’t going to fall for whatever was going here.

“No. You’re not right,” he said as he fixed him with a glare.

“No way man, we all know your reputation,” he goaded further.

“Not since I met Evie. She’s it for me,” he said with all the honesty in the world.

The two men sized each other up for a long moment.

“You’re up, Cash!” Allen called.

Cash set up the tee and swung…and the ball hit a tree. Fuck. Bryan stifled a chuckle and Cash’s fist tightened. This was going to be a long day.

EVIE

"Would you get off your phone? We are supposed to be relaxing," Ellie said as she took her phone from her.

"Hey, give that back," Evie demanded, reaching for her phone.

"Nope, I don't do this often, but I'm pulling the bride card," she called out with a barely contained giggle holding the phone out of Evie's phone. In turn Evie easily snatched it right back.

"Girls, what is going on in here? This is supposed to be a calming day," their mother reprimanded.

Both bit back their smiles and tried to calm down. The other bridesmaids filtered in, and they all got into their fluffy robes and mimosas and started their day of pampering.

Evie took one last glance at her phone. She hadn't heard back from Cash yet. She really hoped golf was fine. At least the men in her family were a bit more chill than her mom.

"It looks like we are getting massages first," Ellie said with a big smile.

Evie's phone buzzed in her hand.
