I haven’t felt so low in a long time.

Seeing Honey getting the attention of such a young, fit guy, I know that her curiosity about my tattoos and bad boy looks are going to pass. She’ll realize she is meant for bigger and better than I could ever provide. I don’t think walking away from her is easy, but I’m pretty sure it would kill me if I had to watch her walk away from me.

I’m in completely new territory with this. I never get attached and never consider what’s going to happen tomorrow. Since I’ve met Honey, that’s all I’ve worried about.

I deleted the text soon after I received it, but that hasn’t stopped me from checking my phone often.

I finish my shift at the Virgin Street Diner and fall onto the couch in the apartment. I’m thinking about going to the bar, but as soon as my phone rings I answers it.

Even seeing her name on the caller ID, I don’t even consider not answering it.

“Do you know anything about tractors?” Honey asks as a hello.

“Tractors?”

That wasn’t what I was expecting.

“I’ve never worked on a tractor, no.”

“Oh,” she says, then silence fills the air.

I rub my hand across my beard. “But I know how to work on cars and bikes. Sort of the same thing.”

I swear I can hear her smiling. “It sure is. Can you come help?”

Because I can’t tell her no—I don’t want to tell her no—I agree and tell her I’ll be there as soon as I can and then hang up.

The whole way I’m convincing myself that I’ll fix the tractor and get out of there. It’s not like I could have told her no. I’m sure her family needs it, and I’m a good guy. I like to help people. But even as I think it, I know there’s more to it. I want to be the one that saves Honey.

She meets me as I come up the drive and park my bike in front of the barn. She has on cowboy boots, jean shorts, and a sweater that hangs off one shoulder, and my first thought is I want to pull her against me and plant my lips on her soft skin.

This meeting is nothing like the one this morning. My hands are itching to reach out for her, but I control myself. “Where’s it at?” I ask her without preamble.

She startles at my tone but leads me to the side of the barn. “Here it is. It just won’t start.”

I grunt instead of answering her and turn to the machine. I climb up the front and open the hood.

I laugh a little and then stop myself.

“What was that?” she asks.

“Oh nothing,” I tell her, grabbing on to the wires and hooking them back up. Obviously they’ve been pulled off the mount. My girl’s got tricks, I tell myself, then immediately shake my head. She’s not your girl, David.
