Eve drove into town feeling oddly reluctant, restless and not sure why. Since Damien Colton’s handsome face kept popping into her mind, she figured the restlessness had a lot to do with her unfulfilled desire for him. The parking lot was full. She lucked out into a spot near the entrance and parked, glad she’d taken extra care with her appearance. At the door, she paused and surveyed the packed bar. Because she’d called ahead, the bartender had put a reserved sign on her regular booth and she headed for it, blowing him a kiss on her way. Once he brought her Shirley Temple, Eve sat back and surveyed the scene. She waved at a family she knew as they snagged one of the last empty tables remaining. Unlike the other night, the bar was crowded. Even at 8:00 p.m., when the dinner rush would be beginning to die down, people milled in both the restaurant and around the bar area, elbow to elbow. Tables were filling up fast. Tonight, the Rollaboys were playing. A local country-and-western band that had made good in Nashville, they’d returned home to visit family for the holidays and, following Honey Creek tradition, would play a free concert at the Corner Bar.
