“Dinner?” Griffin echoes back to me as if he’s unfamiliar with the concept.

“Dinner. A movie. A stroll around the park. A bank robbery. Should I grab my phone and find the formal definition of a date?”

He chuckles. “I don’t think robbing a bank falls under that category.”

“Have you heard of Bonnie and Clyde? It’s romantic when you do it together.”

Griffin turns his face away, but his amused smile glimmers in the darkness of the car. My gaze trails up his broad shoulders and thick neck.

His profile is striking. Rugged jaw. Sexy stubble. Sloping nose. Broad eyebrows. Eyes that can penetrate and smolder.

My thighs press together.

I focus on Griffin, on the wild, unbalanced and definitely unhealthy desire that’s been flogged to life inside me.

Why?

Because I need to.

Because Chandra is driving me crazy and I’m two inches away from telling Griffin to turn this car around so I can storm her house and demand answers.

Answers to very pressing questions.

Mostly about that grimy Howard.

And Rick.

Because I didn’t miss the way Howard wielded Rick’s name like a weapon.

If those two were in a loving, caring relationship, there’s not a chance Howard would feel that secure in using Rick as a shield. And the way Chandra responded to his threat…

Stop thinking about it.

My best friend’s a prickly person and our friendship has lasted this long because, when she asks me to back off, I do.

For a while.

And then I cling to her again, always at the right time.

Like clockwork.

She asked for space but, this time, I don’t know if I can give her all that much.

I gnaw on my bottom lip.

Forget it.

I’ve got Griffin beside me and, for now, he’ll just have to do.

“Look,” he says quietly, “I’d love nothing more than to take you out. I’ve made that very clear, but are you sure? You seem… preoccupied.”

I consider his words.

The weight in my chest tugs my heart even lower.

Restless.

That’s how I feel.

There’s a storm on the horizon of my world. The air is shifting, releasing that earthy fragrance everyone knows and no one can name. I’m waiting for the clouds to burst, waiting for it all to crash around me, and I’m scared.

I hate being scared.

“You’re right. New idea.” I suck in a fortifying breath and glance through the window at the city lights whisking by. My head lolls back and forth as I inspect the neon signs. “There should be one around here.”

“What are you looking for?”

“A hotel.”

“If you’re hungry, I know somewhere more laidback where we can grab dinner.”

“I’m not hungry. I’m saying we should rent a room for the night.”

Griffin slams on the brakes. “Cobie.”

“You have a point. I’m not in the right mood for something as tame as a date.” I speak calmly even though my body’s going through a whirlwind of emotions. Fear. Excitement. Worry. Anticipation. “Besides, I hate small talk.”

“There’s no talking at a cinema.”

“If we go to the movies, you might try the yawn-and-clutch-my-seat move. Or our fingers might bump in the popcorn. Or we’ll squirm awkwardly at the kiss scenes.
