to the little girl, winking.
    Little Becca grinned. “Thank you.”
    Meagan stepped away to put in the order at the back.
    Jeff sauntered over and stood beside her. “Do you want me to get rid of those three idiots?” he asked in a hushed tone.
    “No, Jeff. I can deal with them.” She glanced up at him, raising an eyebrow. “What do you think I do when you aren’t here?”
    “I know, but I hate seeing it.”
    “Don’t worry. I can handle them. This is my job. I’m good at it, I think. Dealing with guys like that is a part of it, and as much as I appreciate the offer, if you kicked them out they’d only tell their friends.”
    “How is that a bad thing?”
    “If they tell their friends, and their friends tell their friends, well, we won’t have much business, will we?”
    “That’s true. Well, tell me if they get out of hand. I won’t have anyone mess with you.” He paused and added, “Or any of my staff.”
    “Leave it to me. I’ll deal with them, okay?”
    “Alright.” He smiled at her. “You really are wonderful, Meg.” He brushed some errant strands of hair away from her face, which was way too forward to her. She pulled away slightly. “Have you thought any more about going on that date with me?”
    “I’ve thought about it. The answer is still no, Jeff. I’m with someone.”
    “I told you. I don’t mind. We’re young. We can have a little fun. Take as long as you need. I can wait.”
    Shaking her head, her face flushed. Meaghan went to check on the three men, who continued to chat quietly amongst themselves. “Ready to order?”
    “We were hoping you’d be able to suggest a flavor of milkshake.” The man winked, and the other two laughed.
    It was going to be a long day.
     
     

Chapter 7
     
    Chase walked into Meaghan’s bedroom. It was late. She looked like she was fast asleep. He didn’t want to wake her, so he turned to go sleep in his own bed. Before he could step away, the mattress creaked.
    She murmured softly, “Hi baby.”
    “Hi hun.”
    “What time is it?”
    “After ten.”
    “Where are you going?”
    “To bed. Did I wake you when I came home?”
    “Of course you did.” Yawning, she sat up in the darkened room. Light from the streets peeked in between the curtains. “How did your shift go?”
    “It was weird.” He was going to do everything he could to avoid discussing the auto shop. He didn’t want to get into another disagreement. Things had been going so well. He preferred peace. “Around seven, I started feeling really tired. Now, I’m not tired at all. I feel like I could be up all night.”
    “You’ll start feeling tired when you relax. Come here and cuddle me.”
    “Do you really want me in your bed?”
    “Of course I do. Come here.”
    Their eyes met. “I thought I was going to be grilled again.” Without stopping to think about what he was doing, he stripped off his clothes. “After last night, it seemed as though you had to know every little detail about where I work.”
    As he slipped into the bed, she sighed. “I do and I don’t.”
    She was studying him. He did his best not to squirm.
    “I get the sense something’s not right about where you work, hun.”
    “What makes you think so?”
    “Well the hours, for one. Most mechanic shops don’t open all hours like that place. And the money she gave us. The cars. I don’t know. I’m just worried, I guess.”
    “I hear you, Meg. But a month ago, we moved here and had no means of surviving. Now we do.” He paused and thought about the best way to tell her how he felt. “Look. I have my suspicions too, Meg. I just don’t think my mother would put me in the middle of anything illegal.”
    She seemed to think about it, and nodded.
    Chase didn’t know how to reply. “What would you want me to do if it’s not a legitimate place to work?”
    “Quit before it’s too late.” She cuddled close to him. “I was thinking about this last night. I love you, and it may take a while to find
