Eleven

Two days later, Gina stood in the middle of the den and made an epic announcement.

“I am going out,” she said.

Admittedly, she’d said it way louder than necessary.

Aston looked up from his guitar, which he’d been plucking away at on the couch all morning while she’d dutifully gone through her discouraging daily act of scrolling through job listings.

She’d applied to a few remote jobs, refreshed the local listings, and had sent out some emails to friends to see if they knew of any leads. She’d done all that she could do for today, and now it was time to face the next inevitable task that she’d been putting off. “I am going out. And I am going into the grocery store,” she said.

Aston’s brows hitched up. A smile tugged at his lips.

Man, he had great lips. Great jaw. Perfect eyes, especially when they crinkled at the corners with amusement like that.

A girl could happily occupy the better part of her day just watching this guy sit on her couch and play guitar.

She knew this because that’s how she’d been passing way too much time lately. Way too much.

Which was exactly why she was going out now. She’d never been a couch potato before, and she didn’t plan on turning into one now.

“You ready for this?” Aston teased.

“I think so,” she answered seriously. She could see the laughter in his eyes, but she ignored the playful mockery.

He thought she was crazy for being so afraid of the outside world. But he’d had twenty years to get used to people staring and whispering. She hadn’t even had a week.

“Want me to come with you?” he asked.

She reeled back in horror. “No. Of course not.”

He chuckled, his grin so irresistible she found herself smiling back.

When his smile was genuine like it was right now, it felt like the sun was coming out from behind the clouds to shine directly on her and the birds were chirping overhead...

In short, it was a really powerful smile.

But not powerful enough to convince her he should tag along.

He arched his brows, his eyes pleading. “I need to get out too, you know. Didn’t you read the manual?”

She pressed her lips together to hold back a laugh. “What manual?”

He fell back with an exasperated huff. “The manual,” he repeated. “The one on the care and feeding of your rockstar roommate?”

She swallowed a giggle before playing along. “I don’t think I got my copy.”

He shook his head. “Heads will roll for this oversight.”

She smiled.

He smiled back.

Her heart did a backflip off a high dive that would have earned ten stars from Olympic judges.

“So you don’t want me to go with you,” he said, for all the world sounding put out by her rejection.

“You get out of the house every day,” she reminded him. Where he went, she didn’t know. But it wasn’t like there were a lot of options during the off-season.

“Fine. I won’t come with you.” He adopted a pathetic expression that made her burst out laughing.

“You’re incorrigible; has anyone ever told you that?”

“Only my mother,” he shot back.
