Sending up a silent plea for strength and cool, Zoe opened her mouth.
“Yeah.” The word was kind of a pathetic squeak and she gave a little fake cough, determined to not show weakness. “Yeah, the guys got Keira’s bedroom ready for her.”
Scars nodded, looked away as Cole brought Zoe’s drink over. She forced her eyes away from Scars’ massive, corded forearms covered in long scars, managed to give Cole a smile.
“Thanks.” She fumbled with her purse. “How much?”
“Nothing.” Cole winked at her again, liked how she blushed all pink and sweet at that. “This one’s on me, OK?”
“You sure?” she said, already knowing that like Silver, Kansas, Jinx and Ice, Cole was going out of his way to do something nice for her, already knowing that she wasn’t going to so much as open her wallet in front of him.
