Finally, there was a man her daughter actually liked enough to give a chance. Mrs. Lafond couldn't risk Maddox getting scared off.

Maddox asked, "What did you just say, Aunt?"

Now even more embarrassed, Mrs. Lafond lowered her voice and said, "Romina, when she drinks too much, likes to tease handsome guys. But she rarely gets drunk. Just make sure she doesn't tonight."

Romina was twenty-nine and had only been drunk twice. Both times she ended up teasing attractive men and scared them off. When she sobered up, she didn't remember anything. If no good-looking men were around, she'd tease her best friends instead.

Maddox replied, "...I really can't picture Romina flirting like that when she's drunk."

But he was secretly curious. He actually wanted to see what she was like drunk. "Aunt, do you think I'm handsome enough?"
