CHAPTER TWELVE

SAVANNA

MISS YOU.

The text had stayed on her mind for two weeks. Savanna washed the lunch dishes and brewed a pot of coffee for her parents, counting down the hours until Slade would arrive.

He hadn't mentioned the text either of the times they'd spoken during his road trip. Or when he'd called her last night to confirm plans for their date. She hadn't mentioned it either. But she'd missed him too. Three weeks was a long time to be apart.

She carried the cups and carafe into the living room and set the tray on her coffee table. "Here you go."

Her mom pointed to the TV, where the Riptide game was in the middle of the fifth inning. "You're going on a date with that man?"

"I've been on a few dates with him already."

"But how do you know he's a good man? You can't trust these superstars."

"You're generalizing, Mom. I've known him for three years. He does a lot of work with the kids in the foundation."

"Hmm." Mom poured coffee, then handed Savanna one of the steaming cups. "Careful, it's hot."

She bit back her response that yes, she could see the steam rising from the cup the same way she'd held in her retort when her mother had cautioned about the knife's sharpness while Savanna had sliced strawberries earlier.

Dad reached for the creamer. "Where is he taking you?"

"I don't know yet. It's a surprise." Again, Slade had told her to dress casually. Her shorts, blouse, and sandals fit that description.

On screen, the camera zoomed in to a close-up of Slade, his face lit in a grin, laughing at something one of his teammates said. His stats were displayed across the bottom of the screen.

Mom sighed. "Well, what is he like?"

"He's kind. Generous. Adventurous."

Dad frowned and held out his phone. Photos of Slade filled the screen. "He's a thrill-seeker. I typed in his name and there's as many photos of him doing something dangerous as there are of him on the baseball field."

"Savanna." Mom set her cup down. "You shouldn't get involved with a man like that. He'll end up getting you killed."

She huffed out a breath and stared at the ceiling, cursing herself for ever mentioning that she was dating Slade. "He's not reckless. He's very... careful with me. We've gone for a hot-air balloon ride and indoor rock climbing."

Mom squeezed her eyes closed and massaged her forehead with all ten fingers. "I'm going to worry about you tonight, not knowing where you are or what you're doing. You better call me when you get home."

"I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself."

"Not if you get injured. Look, there he is inside a race car. You can't take care of yourself if you hit a wall at two hundred miles an hour."

Oh. My. God. Shaking her head, she stalked to the window. "I wouldn't go zooming around a track at that speed. He knows that. You're being crazy and not giving me enough credit."

"I'm not crazy for caring about you.
