“Yeah.”I rub the back of my neck.“I guess it was.What all has been said about it?”
Everly grimaces.“She apparently read out explicit text messages her fiancé sent to another woman.”
“Okay.That about sums it up.He was screwing around on her and she found out.”
“Well, she definitely has ovaries,” Everly says.
Asher and Harrison join us at that moment.
“Who has ovaries?”Harrison asks.“Jax?”
We all grin.
“Molly.We were talking about Molly and Steve Shevchuk,” Everly informs him.
“Ugh.”Asher shakes his head as he pulls out a chair.“What a douche.”
“Are you close friends with him?”Everly asks me.
“Eh.Not super close.”I sit back so the waitress can set my drink in front of me.She takes orders from Asher and Harrison as well.
“Did you know he was cheating on her?”Everly pierces me with her stare.
“No.Definitely not.”I shake my head.“I was as surprised as everyone else at the wedding.”
“It must have caused quite a scene.”
“Oh yeah.”
“And you were her knight in shining armor, riding in to swoop her up and rescue her.”
“Ha ha.Funny.”
Everly grins.“She said that, the other night at the party.Hey, where’s Riley?I need another woman here.”
I frown.Since when has Everly ever wanted Riley around?Those two have never really gotten along.
As if she summoned her, Riley and Noah walk in together.I rise to give my little sister a hug.
I wait until we all have drinks and have ordered dinner, and then look around at the table.“Okay.Fill me in on what’s going on with Grandpa.And Chelsea.”

Molly
I never mind having dinner and drinks alone when I’m in a different city.I have my phone to keep my company, but I like people watching and making new friends.I sit at the bar and the bartender is very helpful in picking out a cocktail to have.
“Are you here for the conference?”he asks me as he slides a drink with gin, honey and lemonade over to me.
“No.Just a little vacation.”I smile and take a sip of the drink.“Oh, this is good!Thanks for the suggestion.”
“No problem.Would you like a food menu?”
“Yes, please.”
The place is filling up and soon every seat the bar is occupied.I exchange a polite smile with the man on the stool next to me.He’s probably about forty, wearing a suit but no tie.
“What’s that you’re drinking?”he asks.
