something?”
    All three women at the table laughed. Cassidy reached out and touched the other woman’s hands. “What’s the matter, darling?”
    “I don’t know why we’re suddenly the flavor of the month, but if I have another fucking tourist grabbing my ass, I’m not going to be responsible for my actions. It would help if some local girls would take on a job as a waitress.”
    Cassidy shook her head.
    “Nope. I work for Shane and Liam. I’ve got a full-time job at the ranch.”
    “Same here. I work for the Walker boys. Actually, I might have to start looking for work. Being in a relationship and working for them is a little strange. I’ll get back to you on that.” Cassidy knew she would need time away from her men. They took so much of her attention that she’d need to have some space to still feel independent.
    “And I work at the station handling the desk. I’m not waitress material.”
    Edith made a growling sound and took their orders.
    “I moved in with Gary, Scott, Roy, and Jesse. Michael has moved in as well. We’re going to see if we can make this a relationship. Wow, that was one long explanation. Everything has been moving too fast for me.”
    Claire laughed. “Well, I for one, think it’s great. I know this was really getting to you. It’s nice to see you taking those steps to get your men,” Claire said.
    “Like I had much of a choice. Five men to one woman doesn’t make for an easy fight.” Cassidy glanced down at her hands resting on the table.
    “Don’t you two think it is weird?” Stephanie asked after some time.
    “What?” Cassidy and Claire asked in unison.
    “Two or more men wanting you? I think it’s a little weird. How can you love more than one guy?”
    “I don’t find it a problem. Liam and Shane are wonderful and loving. I’ve not regretted my decision for a single second. I think it helped the fact we were friends beforehand,” Claire said.
    “I couldn’t pick between five men. The Walkers made their sharing known to me straight away. They had more than one daddy, and they came from a happy home. We’ve not done anything yet. We’re just trying to get to know each other in a relationship capacity rather than the one we had before.”
    Stephanie shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know how you two do it. I’ve got a son, and he takes up all of my time when I’m not working. I don’t think I could spend any more time away from him. He’s at my mother’s today. After lunch I’m going to go over there.”
    Cassidy remembered that Stephanie had still been in high school when she got pregnant. No one knew who the father was. The other woman never said anything about who he was.
    “I could never have done what you did, Stephanie. I admire you for it.”
    “I’m just plain fucking stupid. That’s all.”
    The women went silent as Edith got their coffees. “Your food will be here shortly.” She left, leaving the women in silence.
    “I’m such a party pooper.”
    “Don’t worry about it,” Cassidy said. “Do you know who the father is?”
    Stephanie nodded. “I know who he is. I know where he is, but he doesn’t know he’s a dad. Can we talk about something else?”
    They changed the subject and talked about the different recipes they tried. Their food came, and they talked about the town and the locals. Louise walked in with Mr. Smith and his son once the lunchtime rush was over. Ryan, Mr. Smith’s son and Lou’s charge, ran up to Cassidy and tapped her leg. Mr. Smith took a seat with a frown.
    “I didn’t know you’d be here this afternoon, Cassidy.” Lou embraced her sister.
    “Ryan, sit down,” Mr. Smith said. Her sister, charge, and boss sat down in the seat across from them.
    “I’m having lunch. Are we still on for Friday?”
    Lou looked at Mr. Smith before turning back to her sister. “I can’t make it this week. I’m needed.”
    Cassidy gazed at Mr. Smith. She knew his name, but he always demanded to be called Mr. Smith. He
