“I have no clue. This is all kind of new to me,” Rex answered. He pulled his hat down low, wondering the same thing.
“I think you should just go for it. What’s the worst that could happen?” Savannah flashed a mischievous grin.
“Savannah, don’t stir the beehive,” Treat warned.
“What? He deserves to be with the woman he loves, just like you did.” Savannah winked at Max.
“She’s right, you know,” Max said. “I can’t wait to hear Kaylie sing tonight. She’s amazing. Hey, Rex, can you dance with Jade, or do you have to be totally hands-off?”
Josh laughed from the driver’s seat. “That’s like asking an alcoholic to hold your beer at a party.”
Rex leaned forward and punched Josh’s arm. “Hardly,” he said in a stern voice. “What am I, an animal?”I am when it comes to Jade.
“I saw the way you looked at her when she rode by the day Max crashed her car in the driveway.” Josh flashed him a challenge in the rearview mirror.
Rex stewed. Being near Jade without being able to touch her was going to be difficult enough. He didn’t need his brother egging him on, but silencing a Braden brother was never as easy as he wished.
“We’ll be fine. It’s not like we have a choice. Max, it’s probably not a good idea for me to dance with her. No need to create an issue. If word got back to Dad that we danced…He’s a smart man.” He shook his head, knowing it was time to make some hard decisions—tonight. There was no way he’d be able to act like a kid on restriction forever.
