Her body jolted at my voice. “Lo-Logan.”
“It’s been a long time. How are you?”
She opened her mouth, then closed it without a word.
“Hey, Thea,” Jackson called. “We’re finally cracking that bottle of Macallan you insisted on buying.”
I grinned. That was why the Lark Cove Bar carried Macallan. She’d bought my favorite whisky for her bar, even if it had never been served.
“I . . .” Thea took a long breath, shaking her head and closing her eyes. When she opened them, the shock of seeing my face was gone.
But instead of the confident, sexy woman I’d expected to see once the surprise had faded, I saw fear.
Why would Thea be afraid of me? I’d treated her with nothing but respect during the night we’d shared. Hadn’t I?
Before I could say anything else, she sprang into action, grabbing a shot glass and slamming it on the bar. Then she reached behind her, swiping a bottle of tequila from a middle shelf. With a flick of her wrist, she poured the shot, not spilling a drop.
“Drink that,” she ordered. “We need to talk.”
