Chapter 10

When Jett picked me up, he actually did bring my mom a rose. Mom loved the gesture, and when she told him as much, Jett shot me a sly wink to remind me of our conversation earlier. I hadn’t forgotten.

Missy, who practically lived in her tutu now, showed off a few moves for him while my mom put the rose in water. My favorite part of that moment was when Jett told Missy to take his hand so he could spin her around. She did, and to say that my heart melted a little would be an understatement. I’m pretty sure the entire organ turned to a pile of pulsing goo in my chest. Jett was really starting to seem like the full package.

“You brought your appetite, right?” Jett asked once he was settled behind the wheel of his truck.

I glanced at the sack of groceries on the seat between us and nodded. “Yep.”

“Good.” He grinned and roared up the engine.

I noticed two ATV’s in the flatbed as Jett walked me to his truck. Something else that hadn’t escaped my attention was Jett’s letterman jacket draped along the back of the middle seat. I’d returned it earlier that week, but something told me he’d brought it just for me. It seemed he had plans for us to be outside, and evenings were really starting to cool down in Sweet Water.

“So I know I mentioned in the hallway that it’d be just the two of us,” Jett started.

I glanced over, preparing myself for the worst. “Uh huh,” I urged. Great. What would he say now? That our exes were going to be doubling with us?

“Ava and Ivy wanted to take the ATV’s on the beach tonight with Connor and Levi, so I thought it might be fun if we joined them. Kind of like a big group date.”

I liked the sound of that. Getting to know his family a bit more. “I’d love that.” His twin sisters were ridiculously beautiful but their outright kindness to everyone in sight made it impossible to hate them for it.

“Good.” Jett stretched an arm over the groceries and rested his hand, palm up, on my lap.

It took a fraction of a second to realize he wanted to hold my hand. I gulped, paced my frantic, fluttering breath, then slid my palm into his. Jett curled his fingers around mine, tightening his grip, and shot me that smile that threatened to make my breath hitch. “Might be a good time to tell you—since my sisters will be there and all—that my parents are sort of separated right now.”

Wow. I couldn’t believe he’d actually opened up to me about it. “I’m sorry,” I said softly.

He shrugged. “Pastor’s family’s supposed to be perfect, right? So I guess it feels a little…hard to talk about. My dad doesn’t want to make the congregation panic or anything.”

I nodded, wrapped my other hand around the back of his, and relished in the connection for a moment. It felt very…boyfriend and girlfriend-ish.
