Shadow and I stayed in the office looking at gym equipment and shooting the shit between us. “What time are we on tonight?”

“Ten. You want me to pick you up?” I offered.

Shaking his head, he stood. “No, need my own wheels in case Maria needs me.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Baby may come soon.”

“Two months early?” I asked him quietly.

“Clara’s been reading the Bible to her.” He made a face. “Maria may push the baby out just to get away from her.”

“Can you blame her? What were you thinking?” My tone was light-hearted but he shrugged guiltily.

“She’s my mama. Don’t worry, I’m going to pay for a looooong time, my man. A long time.” He put his jacket on and said goodbye.

I glanced at my watch. I needed to go get Lela. I told Frank I was leaving and called out a few goodnights to the remaining guys. Matt and Theo were long gone, Shadow had gone out to speak to them both earlier. I had stayed in the office.

I wasn’t going to let my earlier conversation with Shadow influence me. I wasn’t going to sleep with her. That was a whole can of worms that neither of us needed to open. Yeah, we may have been attracted to each other—she was hot. I wasn’t dead. It was obvious she liked what she saw too, but that wasn’t my problem either.

We were adults, we weren’t horny teenagers. Okay, so I was horny, but not necessarily for her.

My pep talk worked until I saw her in the office. She practically leapt to her feet to get her stuff. Her smile was blinding. I fought hard to keep from smiling back at her.

I waited in the garage and spoke to Jim, anything to stop myself from going in there.

“Hi.” Lela was beside me. I nodded and finished today’s round up with Jim, telling him I would see him in the morning. I turned to her.

“Ready?”

“Yes, see you later guys!” Lela called as she headed out. A chorus of ‘goodnights’ and ‘see you later’ followed her. Bunch of lovesick morons.

I opened the truck for her and we set off as she babbled on about the weather and how the snow was supposed to get worse. It was Boulder in November, there was a hell of a lotta more snow to come.

I parked in the drive and reminded myself I needed to clear it again tomorrow. As we took our outdoor clothes off at the door, Lela smiled at me.

“Did you get lunch?”

“Yes mom,” I snarked.

“You sure? You sound hangry.” Her tone was teasing.

“What the hell is hangry?”

“Oh, it’s when you get angry because you are hungry,” Lela explained, she was looking at me as if that was the most normal sounding thing in the world.

“I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous,” I muttered as I walked to the kitchen.

“You’d more likely get cangry.” She was trailing behind me as she covered a laugh. I turned and raised my brow in question. “Angry without coffee,” she supplied.
