Mayson . She didn’t care which one, just as long as she ended up with one of you guys.”
    “What the fuck?” I yell ed, causing Liz to jump.
    “Sorry ,” she whispered. “I was going to call Cash this morning and tell him, but I forgot until right now.” She said quietly, trying to tug her hand away, but I refused to let up.
    “Jesus , some of the women in this town are so fucking whacked.” I looked over and saw Liz biting her lip. I let go of her hand and pulled down on her chin. “Stop doing that, baby. Your lips are gonna be hurting too bad to kiss if you keep it up.”
    She t ook a breath. “Sorry about telling you like that; it just came out.”
    I sh ook my head. “Since Asher settled down, things have gone from bad to worse.” It made me pissed to think of one of those bitches getting pregnant and one of my brothers being stuck with her. “Who was it?” I asked, grabbing her hand and putting it back on my thigh.
    “Um…I don’t know her name . She’s really skinny and has long brown hair; she’s cute. She was wearing jeans and a white tank top.”
    I nod ded. I knew who she was talking about. “Jules. She has a thing for Cash, but he’s not interested,” I said, shaking my head. I pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant; it was a small steakhouse that was just outside of Nashville.
    “Oh ! I heard about this place. Old Mr. Deen said they have really great steaks here.”
    She start ed to get out, but I held her hand, mumbling a soft “wait for me.” Hey, I may not have had a girlfriend before, but I know what the fuck to do when you’re dating. My mom would kick my ass if I treated any woman wrong.
    “Thanks ,” she said softly, pulling down her dress. I grabbed her hand when we got inside the restaurant. They sat us at a small table in the back near a large window with a view of the forest beyond. “This is really nice,” she said, her eyes coming back to me. The waiter came over to take our order; we talked about town while we ate, we talked about her store Temptations, and I told her about the construction business and the new contract that we got. Everything with her was easy. I have never met a woman who I could laugh with and talk to about anything. I knew with her, her interest had nothing to do with money or my family name. I looked across the table, noticing her face has become red.
    “You d on’t look too good, baby.”
    "I don't think you’re supposed to say that out loud," Liz said from across the table, a small smile on her lips.
    "No , baby. I mean, you look red and puffy; are you allergic to anything?"
    "I never was before." She open ed her bag, pulling out a small compact and held it in front of her face. "What the hell?" she mumbled, turning her face right, then left.
    "Let ’s go. We can stop somewhere and get you some Benadryl; are you breathing okay?" I looked around for the waiter, trying to call him over.
    "Yeah , but my mouth’s starting to feel a little itchy." She laughed, "Don't even say anything,"
    "I wo n't," I chuckled, finally catching the waiter’s attention. He made his way over to us and I got my card back. Sliding it in my pocket and standing, I pulled out Liz’s chair. Her face was now breaking out in hives and my concern was starting to grow, so I picked her up, carrying her bridal-style out of the restaurant. When we got to the front door, I hurried to my car. Liz tucked her face into my neck; I was sure she could feel that it was swollen. I kissed her hair and placed her in the passenger seat, making sure to buckle her in. “I'm gonna take you to the hospital."
    "No , please, I just need some Benadryl and I’ll be fine," she said on a wheeze, and I knew that she wasn’t fine. I pressed the gas, and once I reached the emergency room entrance, I slammed the car in park, ran around to the passenger’s side, and ignored the guy yelling not to park there. I pulled Liz into my arms. She passed out after two minutes in the car. I started
