Chance

He’d forgotten to text Misty.

He’d gotten his shit done, hit the road, and then had immediately spent the better part of the drive on the phone, dealing with details for his last two remaining cases in Atlanta.

One, not drug-related but a favor to an old high school friend whose ex-husband was trying to fuck her over on child support payments. He’d gotten the break he needed the night before, his searches turning up plenty of money for those payments to be made, and he had to break the news, email her the information, and then arrange for her to meet the courier he’d set up so she could also bring paper copies of what he’d unearthed to her attorney.

Two, drug-related but also a favor. This one for a former client whose son was in a bad way, and she wanted to know if he was using.

He was.

Which meant that Chance had to break that news and try to do it gently.

But there wasn’t an easy way to tell a woman who’d been a single mom to three kids, who’d gotten fucked over by her ex-husband, who’d struggled and fought her way to a good life, that her son was an addict and things with him weren’t looking good.

That call had taken a while.

And after he’d let her cry it out, did his best to comfort her, even though it was fucking difficult to comfort someone over the phone, he’d driven in silence for a bit.

Then he’d turned on the radio, lost himself in some music.

Then he’d remembered he was supposed to text Misty.

By then he’d been forty-five minutes from Stoneybrook and figured he’d surprise her by showing up at her house, and if she wasn’t back from Rob and Soph’s house—where he knew they’d been having dinner together, something that would also be a perk of moving to town, actually getting to see his sister on the regular (and getting to be an awesome uncle to his soon-to-be niece or nephew)—he’d go to Soph’s place and play the role of annoying older brother.

And then, perhaps he’d play the role of annoying boyfriend, dragging his woman out of there because he missed her after four days and calls and texts weren’t even remotely a good replacement.

But he didn’t get that far.

Because as he turned on Main Street to drive by her place, he saw her car was in front of Tangled.

The damned woman worked too hard.

So, he’d go in, drag her out, play annoying boyfriend who softened that annoyance by kissing her senseless and promised cinnamon rolls in the morning.

He pulled into the spot next to hers, turned off the ignition, and got out, his eyes drifting to the door.

The door.

Fuck.

Moving before he fully processed that the door was shattered, glass glittering on the sidewalk, Chance sprinted for the front of the shop. His hand was in his pocket, pulling out his cell, calling 9-1-1.

The dispatcher picked up.

He rattled off the situation as he pushed through the door, and then
