“You can’t be serious?” I raised an eyebrow, legs shaking as I tried to find my balance.

“It’s easy.” Becca stepped onto a matching wobble board. Her legs didn’t shake nearly as much as mine, quickly finding her balance and reaching down, touching both toes and standing again.

I shook my head. “I’m going to fall on my face.”

She dismounted the board with a hop, swiping a towel from the weight rack and placing it on the ground before me. “There. A soft landing.”

She grinned, eyes sparkling. It’d only been two days since I’d last seen her, but I’d kept my eyes glued to the open garage door all day, eagerly waiting for her to arrive. I hadn’t been disappointed.

Well, that wasn’t entirely true. She’d allowed a single, G-rated hug and gotten straight to training. She wrapped up an intensive two-hour training session with this dumb ass wobble board.

“You know what the Highland Games are, right? Not some gymnastics competition.” I tightened my abs to help me stay upright on the board.

“You need balance for all the events: the height-for-weight, the shot put, the caber toss. Especially the caber toss. Now, stop running your mouth and do some toe touches before your legs give out.”

I braced myself, carefully hinging forward at my hips. “I’m not even sure if I can touch my toes when I’m on the ground.”

“Stop stalling.” Becca rolled her eyes and rounded to my back. “I’ll hold your weight belt. But if you go toppling forward, I’m not going with you.”

“You’re just checking out my ass. Not professional behavior, Bec.”

She sighed. “You’re about to lose the small amount of help I’m offering.”

“Fine. Keep ogling me. I’ll do your toe touches.” I leaned forward, brushed my shoelaces and returned to standing.

“Great. Ten more. Without my help.”

I groaned but managed eight before I stumbled off the board. I put my hands on my hips, sucking in a breath and girding myself for the last two when Becca handed me water.

“That was a good start. I’m going to incorporate more training on the board, though, so less whining next time,” she scolded me, her lips turned up.

“How about another tactic? We burn this board in a fire, and you let me heft around weights for the next month?”

“Absolutely not. You’re going to ruin all the really fun torture… I mean, training I planned.” She smirked before gathering the towel and the board off the ground.

“Does that mean we’re done?”

“For today. I’ve got to run to the airport tomorrow, so I wrote a workout plan. Do you want it now or…” She held up the piece of paper .

“Or you could bring it up to my apartment. Hang it on the fridge. Stay the night,” I said with a shrug.

She laughed. “I have dinner with Nora and Thea tonight.”

“At the diner?”

She shook her head. “No, we’re driving to Pierce. Doing a girls’ night thing.”

“And after?”

“Did you want me to come back?” Her eyes glittered mischievously.

I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.
