Chapter 13

I push through the door to the shooting range as Millie trails behind me. “What’s this big secret? And what’s it got to do with the shooting range?”

“You’ll see,” I groan as I push through the second door. Hoping I’m doing the right thing.

Millie’s eyes light up as she takes in the room around her. “Whoa, do I get to shoot?” she asks.

“Pfft, no,” I scoff. “You’re here to judge a competition.”

“Huh?” she asks confused.

We walk deeper into the shooting range, Millie’s eyes jumping all over the place as she takes in the room and weapons. We get to the end of the hall and enter into the large clearing space where we find Rylan leaning up against the back wall. If he is surprised to see Millie with me, he doesn’t show it.

“Hey,” I say, stopping a few feet in front of him, with Millie close to my side, looking extremely confused about why I’ve brought her here and why my hunky instructor is here waiting.

He gives me a warm smile, then turns his eyes on my sister. “Millie,” he greets a little suspiciously.

“Rylan,” she responds, using the same questioning tone Rylan had just given her.

They each turn to me as apparently, I am running this show. I turn my eyes on Millie, taking a deep breath, hoping that Rylan is ok with me spilling the beans, though, I know he is going to support me with whatever decision I make. You know, as long as it’s a smart one. “So, this morning, I kind of bombarded you,” I start when Millie cuts me off with a scoff, clearly thinking ‘bombarded’ was not a strong enough word to be used to describe her morning. I ignore her and continue on with my speech. “I knew you were hiding something and I needed you to be honest with me, especially when it comes to you starting to date. You promised me that you’d never keep anything from me again and it’s only fair that I do the same for you,” I say.

“Out with it already. The suspension is killing me,” she groans, her eyes flicking between me and Rylan, trying to put the puzzle together.

Butterflies begin to stir in my stomach and I let out a nervous breath. Rylan pushes off the wall and comes to stand behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders for support. I sink into him as his thumbs begin rubbing small circles on my back. “Um, well…,” I start, looking up at Millie who is currently studying Rylan’s hands on my shoulders.

A grin spreads over her face and I realise she has figured it out. “I knew it,” she squeals. “I freaking knew it. God, I’m good,” she laughs, throwing her arms around us.

“Hold on,” I say, grabbing her by the shoulders and pushing her back so I can look her in the eye. “What do you mean you knew it?”

“Well, I didn’t know who,” she grins. “But when Daniel practically threw himself
