You are beautiful and you have one of the kindest hearts I’ve ever seen. Do I need to tell everyone the story you told me in that coffee house about why you want to become a hospice nurse?” Chloe asks?
    “No! Please don’t do that,” I say, standing. I look at Ava, then quickly sit back down before she plants my ass in the chair again and breaks one of Gary’s chairs. Gary would for sure take it out of my tip money.
    “What story? I want to hear it,” Shay says.
    “I want to hear it, too,” Amelia says.
    “I’ll tell you all on the way home,” Chloe says, winking at me.
    “Look, the point here is, Aiden has it bad for you. These men don’t mess around. When they see what they want, they take it and run. You need to grab hold of whatever it is that’s closest to you, and hang on for dear life. It’s a hell of a ride,” Shay says, with a wicked smile.
    “That’s putting it mildly. It’s a fan-fucking-tastic hell of a ride,” Chloe says, with the same wicked smile.
    “Honey, I’ll bet you the baby in my belly, you will become the next Wellington right along with the rest of us.” Willow says.
    “Wait, I’m not a Wellington anymore,” Amelia says.
    “I’m not either,” Ava says.
    “I never was,” Chloe pouts.
    “Girls! You’re missing the point. We are all Wellington’s, either now, or by maiden name, or by reason of, I just said so,” Willow says with attitude, looking at Chloe. “I’m telling you, Savvy, hold on to your knickers, you’re one of us.”
    I didn’t have anything to say to that. I know all of their stories and I know what a whirlwind they are. Every single one of their relationships was in hyper warp drive, and before anyone could turn around they were all married and spitting out babies left and right. No joke. I’d like nothing more than to believe that’s true, and to believe that I’m the type of girl Aiden would want. Aiden is the man of my dreams, and that’s just it, in my dreams. I’m just not what they think I am.
     

Chapter 4
     
    Aiden
     
    I leave the bar and head to the auto parts store, then straight home to work on Savvy’s car. She gets off at midnight, so I have plenty of time to get this thing running. I replace the battery, the starter, spark plugs and several other parts, then have a seat behind the wheel and give the key a turn. She roars to life and purrs like a kitten. I smile at myself, turn her off, and head in to take a shower to wash all the grease off before I pick up Savvy.
    At eleven forty-five, I get in Ruby—shit, now I’m calling it by her name—and I drive her to the bar just to make sure she’s running good. Right when I pull up outside the bar, the heavy wooden door opens and Savvy’s face instantly lights up.
    “Ruby!” she screams. She runs to her car and gives the hood a hug. “She’s alive! Oh my God, you’re a ding-dang-dong mechanic whisperer,” she says, as I get out of the car and walk over to her.
    I stop in my tracks, grab my gut, and roar laughing. She lunges at my arms and squeezes so tight she almost takes my breath away. On second thought, that’s the feeling I get every time she’s in my arms. I wrap my arms around her and bury my nose in the crook of her neck. She starts jumping up and down in my arms, squealing.
    “Can I drive her? Oh, I’ve missed her so much,” she says, backing away looking in my eyes.
    I nod my head and lead her over to the driver side door. She gets in and I close the door. I walk around to the passenger side and get in shaking my head at her excitement. As nasty and rusty as the outside of this car is, the inside is well taken care of for a thirty-five year old car.
    “How did it go with my sisters in the bar?” I ask, as she pulls away from the curb.
    “Your sisters and your sisters-in-law scare the living crap out of me. I think Ava wants to whack me. But the scariest of them all is Willow. All of them together are like hornets chasing a wet dog. Did you know they were
