“She just drank that beer that was sitting on the table this whole time, and you didn’t even stop her,” I say, shaking my head. “Someone could have switched it, and you wouldn’t even know it until she hit the floor.”
“I had eyes on it the whole time.” He then leans in. “She’s my sister after all.”
“Yeah, except your back was to the table for three minutes,” I point out, “while you watched your woman dance.” The music changes, and I look over at Kallie and see a guy walk up to her and ask her to dance. Savannah hands Casey his beer and then tells him the waitress will bring the shots to him. He nods at her and turns to walk back to the table and stops when he spots Kallie walking to the dance floor. He looks over at me, and I’m standing now. Beau must sense it next to me when he gets up, and I walk to the side of the dance floor.
The guy who I’ve never seen before must tell her his name, and I want to close down the fucking bar. They hold hands, and he twirls her while other men hoot from the side.

“I don’t know how you do this every single weekend.” I shake my head, and then I look over at the bar and see Savannah dancing. “Okay, fine, I get it now.”
“I leave with her to make sure she’s safe every single time,” Beau says, bringing the beer to his lips. The band gets on the stage, and the lights change, and everyone cheers when they play the first verse of “Body Like a Back Road.”
Kallie puts her hands up, taking a shot from the tray. Grabbing Olivia, she leads them to the dance floor that is full now as they dance with each other. The both of them are oblivious of how much attention they are getting. “Fifty bucks someone asks her to leave with them.” Beau leans over, and I side-eye him. “I’m not saying she’ll go with them. I’m just saying …”
