“I should have,” replied an earnest Mackie.
How was she supposed to stay mad at that? She had to give him some credit for at least coming after her to apologize. Most guys would have made it their mission to make sure she was embarrassed by what happened. He wasn’t doing that. It was obvious he meant it, and if she didn’t forgive him, she was definitely the jerk. She was going to have to give in, at least a little.
“I may have overreacted,” conceded Cassie.
Mackie didn’t say anything. If he was expecting more, then he would be waiting a while.
He gave a low chuckle and then he looked back at the bar, then back to Cassie. “Do you want to come back to Brews? Play some darts or something?”
He looked so hopeful, that Cassie almost caved. Almost. “I’m good thanks.”
Mackie gave her that boyish grin. “Do you think that now you’ve forgiven me, you might agree to drinks one day.”
He was incorrigible. Absolutely no shame, and for some sure to be regrettable reason, she found herself liking him, a little more with each moment that passed.
“All things are possible there, cowboy. How about you take the win for today and leave it at that?”
“You realize that’s a yes in my book, Cassie Peck.”
“I know you think it’s a yes,” she smiled and shook her head.
“Alright.” He gave her a wink and then walked back to the bar.
