Grayson
Tommy is snoring so loud I can hear him through the walls at this hotel.
I chuckle at the text I see before pulling on my boots.
Rae
I’m sure the walls are fine, you have superhuman hearing.
Grayson
I hope not.
Grayson
What’re you doing tonight? Is it weird if I say I miss you.
I sink my teeth into my bottom lip, biting back my smile as I think about what happened between us before he left.
Rae
Not weird at all, I miss you too *smiling emoji*
Rae
I’m actually hanging out with Asher, he moved back.
Just then a text pops up telling me he’s here, and I grab my small bag on my way toward the door. My phone goes off while I’m descending the stairs.
Grayson
Really? Now I really wish I was there, I don’t know if I trust him.
I shake my head.
Rae
Don’t worry, I can handle myself. I think he just needs friends.
Grayson
I doubt he wants to be your friend, Sunshine.
Rae
I didn’t take you for the possessive type.
Rae
When you get back we can all hang out. Get some sleep. I expect a winning game from you tomorrow.
I tuck my phone away, stepping out onto the porch, locking the door behind me and double checking it like I always do. I have cameras and security, but I still make extra sure I lock doors behind me.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves as I walk up to Asher’s dark Subaru WRX. When I open the door I see him the same time I’m enveloped in the pine musk that must be his cologne. I get into the car, and turn toward him, my eyes dropping down to his left arm being held up by a sling.
“What happened?” I ask automatically.
Instead of answering me, he nods toward my head. “It’s nighttime, you know a hat isn’t necessary.”
