I could still taste Kate.

I wanted nothing more than to bend her over the ball return and finish what we started in the parking lot.

But Kate was clearly freaked out.

I couldn’t blame her. She’d been through so much the last few months, so much I didn’t even know about, and I didn’t want to be just another asshole adding to her stress.

I wanted to be something good in her life.

Only one lane was lit up, and I sent Kate to find a ball while I dealt with food and drinks. Luckily, I was now only mostly hard. At least it didn’t look like my cock was going to burst through my jeans any second.

Charlie handed me a couple of beers and then told me he’d bring the food out when it was ready.

“Why did you bet on this date?” I asked, setting the pitcher and glasses down in front of her.

“It’s the perfect date,” she said nonchalantly. “Ask Maisie. It’s exactly what I told her I wanted. I had no idea you’d be on the other side of it. Plus, your ex was pretty set on getting a date with you.”

I rolled my eyes. “I wish Lana would get a clue.”

“What happened between the two of you?”

“She wanted to marry a doctor. She wasn’t really particular after that. She liked that I was attractive, but it wasn’t exactly a requirement. She wanted me to take a job offer in Minnesota at the Mayo Clinic. It would’ve meant more money and prestige, but that’s not what I wanted. I wanted to stay here. I like being close to Maisie and Liam. I wanted to start a family in Jubilee Falls. Lana wants out. And that was only the beginning of our problems.”

“I’m sorry. That sucks.”

“It wasn’t meant to be,” I replied.

“What is meant to be? Was it meant to be that I struggled through achieving my dreams to only have them shut down by a fraction of a man who doesn’t understand consent or respect? Fate can suck it if that’s the case.” She chugged a few big gulps of her beer and then stood up. “I’m going first.”

I twisted in my seat so I could watch her. I couldn’t believe everything she’d been through. She was pissed and rightfully so. Fate was a cruel bitch if this was all part of the plan. And what about us? Kate and I had been in each other’s lives for a long time. What if we’d gotten together sooner? Would that asshole have kept his hands off her if she’d been married?

But then I wouldn’t be in Jubilee. Or she never would’ve gone to New York, because of my dreams.

She picked up the ball and lined herself up, took four steps, swung the ball back and released while her right leg dipped behind her. The magenta ball clunked loudly to the shiny wooden lane and rolled down the center. It held true, knocking the middle pin and causing a perfect split.

“That was a nice shot.
