Tate’s heart froze for the briefest moment when Lys didn’t reply.

“No regrets.” Her words were a reassurance he didn't know he needed.

“Good.” He intertwined his fingers with hers, and tugged her out of the room. He knew what his problem was. He’d been over-thinking everything since last night. He needed to step back, get an objective perspective, and just let instinct drive. “Let’s go celebrate.”

“What did you have in mind?” Lys paused by the front door long enough to slip on a pair of sandals, and grab her purse.

The one thing they always did. Something nagged at the back of his mind, asking how they had an ‘always’ anything. He shoved it aside. It’s just the way things were between them. It didn’t mean anything. “We grab a pizza and head up to the lake.”

“Sounds perfect.” Her grin latched onto something inside him, and send a wash of need over his skin.

Apparently he hadn’t reached that objective point yet. He’d get there, though.

“You drive.” She tossed him her keys.

He snagged them without missing a beat. The Bentley was nice for freeway and city driving, but Lys’s ancient Suburban would handle the off-road lake paths a lot better, and he was more familiar with the route than she was.

An hour later, they’d found a quiet spot of trees, and a clearing with no one else around, and backed the SUV up several feet back from the lake. They finished the pizza and discarded the box half an hour after that, and then sat next to each other on the tailgate. Lys swung her legs in a lazy arc, and Tate leaned back, palms resting on the upholstery behind him. Once upon a time, Lake Lanier had been one of his least favorite places. His parents had a summer home that was really more of an excuse to show off than a reason to vacation. They’d sold it when the area got too crowded.

Spending time with Lys up there, though, helped him discover an appreciation for the beauty again. Especially when they could find an isolated spot of land and just unwind.

“Remember that night we came up here to study for my finals?” Her question blended into the calm of the night.

“Which time?”

She leaned into him. “Every time. I doubt I would have made it through undergrad without your help.”

“I was zero help for vet school, so I guess that evens everything out. What about the time you ran away?”

“Oh, God.” She scrubbed her face, laughter spilling through her fingers. “I don’t even remember why I did that, but I know it was childish. I’m still grateful you never told them you found me up here.”

“Right. Because I was going to tell J—anyone you hitchhiked to the lake.” Tate wasn’t sure why he stalled on Jared’s name. Something told him he didn’t want to ruin the mood that way.

She tucked one leg under the other knee, and turned to face him. “Or three years ago when I closed on the loan for the shelter.
