“I don’t know if it’s such a good idea.” Waylon leaned back in the patio chair. He and his brother were on the covered back deck at Jamon’s house, grilling steaks that Friday night. Correction: Jamon grilled and Waylon watched. “I’ve been clean just over three months.”

“It’s just an outing.” Jamon doused the steaks with seasoning.

Waylon cocked a brow. “I know I’m not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, but if you ask me, it sounds more like a date.”

Jamon flipped a T-bone. “Even if it is, it’s just a date. It’s not like she’s proposing.” The corners of his mouth turned up. “And you could do worse.”

“It’s just that I’ve got a routine going, and so far it’s working. I don’t want anything to mess that up. Tayla could be a beautiful disaster waiting to happen.” Waylon’s stomach knotted up even though his mouth watered as the aroma from the grill filled his head.

“Dude, I think you’re way overthinking this.” Jamon added some fresh-cut veggies to the grill plate.

“Overthinking what?” The French doors opened, and Gemma walked out. Her long auburn hair was piled on her head in a bun, and her face beamed when she saw Jamon.

“There’s my girl.” Jamon leaned in as Gemma came up beside him and kissed him on the cheek. “Tayla asked Waylon to visit a horse sanctuary on Saturday with her, and it’s freaked him out.”

Waylon sat up. “I’m not freaked out.” Okay, maybe a little, but it was just because of the way the woman had him seeing stars whenever she was around. “She said it wasn’t a date, but—” His face burned. He didn’t want to share too much information.

“But?” Gemma sat in the chair beside him and touched his knee. Her willingness to forgive Waylon after what he’d done in his darkest moment amazed him. He’d kidnapped her, hoping to ransom money from Jamon for drugs, and she was able to see past all that.

The least he could do was be honest with his soon-to-be sister-in-law. “But there’s something between us. At least, I felt it the first time I saw her, and I think she felt it too.” Waylon winced, waiting for his little brother’s onslaught of teasing to begin. Jamon just laughed.

“Maybe there was a spark for her too, intriguing her enough to get to know you.” Gemma zipped up her jacket.

“And who knows? Maybe she won’t want to date you after she gets to know you.” Jamon tossed a hot pad at Waylon.

“Gee, thanks.” He threw the pad back and nailed Jamon in the head. “Maybe you’re right and I’m reading way too much into her invitation. I guess I’ll have to suck it up and go.”

Gemma burst out laughing. “I don’t think you should use those terms with Tayla. It sounds like you’re expecting a root canal instead of a day out with a beautiful woman.”

“Don’t forget she’s a very rich woman.” Jamon pointed his spatula at Waylon.

“Don’t remind me.” Waylon didn’t want to be intimidated by Tayla’s wealth, but how could he not? “Another reason I should stay home.
