Chapter Six

A few blocks later, Kane was settled on an old metal stool, watching her don a pair of clear plastic goggles. He’d spent the whole ride over to the garage trying to think up clever ways to get Anna to go out with him, and instead they were finishing work on his father’s car.

Tonight was the least romantic date he’d ever been on and it was all his fault.

He should’ve just fessed up to his father and risked losing out on the summer show.

But without him, Anna might not get a chance at being featured.

He felt completely torn. He wanted his father’s respect, but he wanted Anna’s too. He just hoped that after she finished the fender, Anna wouldn’t kick him out of her life as easily as she did her garage.

“Buffing compound.” She tied up her long hair in an elastic, then put on a pair of leather gloves. She slathered a reddish substance onto a cone-shaped ivory felt wheel the size of her fist attached to a rotary machine in the corner of the garage. “It’s called rouge. Can you hand me the fender?”

She pointed to where the aluminum chrome fender from the precious Dino lay atop a drop cloth. “Sure.”

He hefted the piece easily and helped her get it into position while she cranked up the motor.

“Just stand there and help me balance the back end so it doesn’t flop.”

“’Kay.” A pleasant whirring filled the garage as he watched her, marveling at how easily he fell into the routine of working alongside her. How she made him want to do so much more.

Like, teaching the kids. Or dreaming of cleaning up the community center. Stuff that made his heart swell—almost as much as being beside her.

Anna carefully buffed the remaining spots on the fender for the next half hour. He was amazed by how precisely she handled the parts and heavy equipment. The girl had some serious muscles, which made him wonder how well she’d handle his equipment if she ever gave him the chance. Being alone with her meant he was in a perpetual half-aroused state, which was ridiculous. Who got hard in a salvage garage?

Apparently he did. That’s who.

“Okay, I think that’s the last of it.” She cut the power to the rotary machine. The wheel spun to a stop as they carried the fender over to the Ferrari. When she finished reattaching the piece, she rolled her shoulders and gave it a final swipe with her rag.

“Done!” She beamed at him.

“It’s perfect.” Kane bent low to inspect her work. “You’d never know there was damage. Not a scratch.”

“Yeah, it really is a beauty.” Anna tossed her polishing cloth at him with a mischievous grin. He caught it before it popped him in the face.

“So are you.” He tossed the cloth back at her.

She’d saved him. Now he could face his father with the damage completely erased.

“Ha. You’re hilarious.” She caught it. The weight of her stare rested on him like a fifty-gallon barrel.

She avoided his compliment, though, and wiped a few imaginary specks off the car’s hood.
