Hudson Riggs
The familiar notification sound from ClickC*ck brought my phone
to life on the bar. I picked it up and tapped out a reply as my brother, Henry,
rolled his eyes.
“What?” I asked around a mouthful of burger. “I can multi-task,” I said
with a grin as I ate my lunch on a break from work.
Henry’s bar—The Riggs Family Roadhouse—had been in our family
for nearly forty years, and he did a great job running it. Good food, good
beer, even better cocktails—Henry was a master mixologist—and a great,
easy atmosphere. I helped a few shifts a week as I could and often found
myself there on weekends as well.
Although, recently, with taking over The Juicy Peach, time hadn’t been
as plentiful. The family’s peach orchard and general store needed some
major revitalization. Little did any of us know that our uncle, Billy Riggs,
had not only drunk himself to death, but he’d also nearly run the business
into the ground with no hope of recovery. But the Riggs name meant
something to me, and The Juicy Peach was where I’d spent my childhood
and teen years, I wasn’t going to let it go without a fight.
I maybe wasn’t an expert, but I was smart and determined. I planned to
give it a thousand percent and hope the peach orchard and little store pulled
through. Both were cornerstones in the small Midwestern town of Haven
Grove—as was The Roadhouse—and I wasn’t going down without a fight.
“You really need some damn app to find yourself a man?” Henry asked,
his usual gruff personality alive and well. He was actually one of the best
people you’d ever meet—loyal, hardworking, protective, and caring, a big
softie if I was being honest—but my older brother, even with his soft voice
and sparkling eyes, gave off a stay back, I’m a grump type vibe on even the
best of days.
Smirking at him, I said, “Yeah, you’re doing a bang-up job without an
app, huh? Got a date tonight? Last night?” I knew my brother hadn’t been
involved with anyone in a very long time. He was stand-offish and kept
everything close to his chest when it came to anyone other than family.
“Me and my right hand are doing just fine, thanks,” Henry groused, a
flare of pink splashing his cheeks above his beard. “You really think you’re
going to find something serious on that thing?”
I popped an onion ring in my mouth. “Ah, see, there’s the
misconception.” I pointed to my phone. “ClickC*ck isn’t for anything
serious. I don’t do serious. Quick and easy is all I’m looking for.”
Henry frowned. “I just don’t get that. Why put time and effort into
something you know is just going to end?”
Shrugging, I finished off my burger, washing it down with a long swig
of water. “Rather put minimal energy into something I know is going to end
than my whole heart into something I want to last—only to have them walk
away in the end.”
