Look at that No one really gave a crap who ate in the diner

Just her very narrow-minded parents

“Which section is Shell’s?” The largest of the bikers asked He had dark auburn hair and a beard to uyresemblance to Tormund Giantsbane from Toni’s favorite show, Game of Thrones

“Shell?” she asked, the full coffee pot testing the limits of her biceps She hadn’t worked this hard in years

“Michelle,” the woman said At least she smiled As she spoke, the brown haired, blue eyed biker she ith circled her shoulders with his muscled arm He also had a beard Was it a requirement to join their MC?

He’d treated her well throughout their relationship Hell, he’d even dropped everything and come to Tennessee with her for her parents’ funeral He just wasn’t a panty-melter And while she’d tried to tell herself it didn’tto matter

Problems for another tie hand on her arm stopped her
