Before I could say anything else, a contented internal sigh breezed through my mind. My bear sensed something that made it pleased and tranquil. I knew what it was before I turned. April had pulled up into the driveway behind my truck. Catching sight of her car made my stomach flip-flop. When she stepped out…

It took me several seconds to realize he was talking about us hanging out at the restaurant with Steff. He wanted to make sure I was okay. I grinned. “Kris, it’s fine. Really. It’s been years. I’m not still hung up on that.” Kris nodded. “You may not be, but I saw the way he…

behind. Was I the only one stuck in the past? It was starting to seem like it. Later that night, after pulling back into my driveway, my phone rang. Still thinking about everything that Kris and Kellan had said, I pulled it out and glanced at the screen. It was Ryland. I stared at it…

“So, what’s going on with you and April?” he asked. My eyes widened in surprise. “I just want to make things right,” I said, being careful with my words. “There are some things I need to tell her, and I don’t want to miss the opportunity while she’s in town.” “I don’t know if you…

APRIL Aiden’s first game was that. He’d invited me to come watch it, like, five times, and there was no way I was going to miss it. Plus, both my brothers and Chelsea would be there. The baseball game would be fun, and cheering on Aiden would be the highlight of my day, but I…

The deputy walked back to his car, and I moved April to her house. She was hissing into my ear about what a dick the cop was being, and I hustled her faster before he could hear any of her expletives. I got her inside and the door closed before I let her unload. “That…

“We won. Though, I doubt that’s the only reason you’re calling.” “Yeah. I got a call this morning from April’s manager. The Larry guy, the one who had us set up her home security system?” “I remember.” The way-over-the-top guy. I was glad Miles did most of the communication with him. I didn’t know how…

After work, I went home, showered quickly and shaved. I didn’t get overly dressed up as we’d decided to go to the steakhouse downtown. For how small Lilly Valley was, the restaurant was a hidden gem. Not only did they serve beef, but they specialized in more adventurous stuff such as elk, deer, bison. Some…

“Sorry, I… that shouldn’t have happened. I don’t know why he did that,” I said, grabbing my glass to take another sip of water. Ryland’s expression was one of confusion and concern. “I’m guessing, after this and the other night at the bar, you have some history with that guy?” I hesitated, thinking how crappy…
