“If you go away, you’ll come back?” I asked.
He met my eyes without a shadow of fear or doubt. “I’ll come back.”
“Okay. All right.”
This wasn’t Chris asshole Delaney. This was Vaughan. My Vaughan. He didn’t say shit he didn’t mean. He loved me. But what’s more, I loved him.
“I’ll be waiting,” I said.
“Babe.” His smile, the blue of his eyes … everything about the man. Everything.
Unable to hold back, I launched myself at him.
Customers were treated to quite a show, Masa started singing again (something by the Stones this time), me and Vaughan were rolling around on the floor. Things were crazy in the Dive Bar.
Thing is, sometimes crazy works.
