“You could do that if you did this.”
“My arms are too short,” she muttered, which had him laughing. “Kind of like a Tyrannosaurus.”
He’d forgotten how funny she could be.
“Your butt’s cute though.”
“Thanks. But I know you’re just trying to be nice to encourage me.”
“I would never lie about something that important.”
“Ha.”
“You’re going to get into trouble any minute now. Miss Marla is heading your way,” Fin said from the side of his mouth.
“Come on now, Maggie. Up you get. We’re lunging,” Miss Marla said.
“Do I have to?” She looked like a child sitting there all flustered. Hair on top of her head, eyes pleading. Fin thought she looked cute, hot, and any number of things. Mrs. Marla got her into position.
“Ouch! I have a thigh cramp!” Maggs hopped backward between him and Luke to where Buzz still slept. “Time-out,” she said, making the gesture with her hands. “I’ll watch.” She then dropped down onto Buzz’s mat and hugged him. The look in her eyes dared anyone to pull her off.
Fin moved into the next position, then looked back at her. She was running for the door and was through it before anyone could blink.
“She can move fast when she needs to,” Luke said.
“I’ve seen her do that quite a lot since she came home.”
“Run?”
“Yup.”
“Why do you figure that is?” Luke asked.
“Not sure.”
They finished the class while he thought about the sexy redhead. He then showered in the rec center locker room before heading to Tea Total, which was where they went after the class. He was riding his Harley and decided he needed to take it for a run, as the skies were clear with no sign of more snow. Getting off, he saw Maggs from the corner of his eye. She was getting in her car. He watched as she headed out of town.
“What are you looking at?”
“Oh hey, Jack.” Fin acknowledged the middle Trainer.
“So?”
“I was watching the Robbins sisters. They’re annoying Lex again. Seems the debate is about his Christmas window display not being festive enough.”
“Those three are always going at it.”
“In a purely non-physical way,” Fin added.
“I just threw up a bit in my mouth,” Jack said. “What else you looking at, because no way would those three, amusing though they are, put that frown on your face.”
“I was wondering if I should redecorate the cabin.”
“No, you weren’t, because you’re going to build on that land you’re buying off Ted. So come clean, Fin. You were watching Maggs drive out of town, weren’t you?”
He turned to look at his friend.
“Why do you think I was doing that?”
