As far as Josh could tell, Monica’s new job was mostly phone calls where she told people, “you’ve got this!” and asked questions like, “is that really your core promise, though?”

Which, to his ear, sounded a lot like oh dear, you do not have this at all.

And in between those calls, she dashed off texts, touch typing with her thumbs while she watched him.

Maybe he put a little extra oomph into reinstalling the brake calipers, leaning into the torque wrench.

Maybe.

The best and worst part of having Monica in his space was being reminded of how much he just liked her. He didn't want to like her.

But he did, he couldn’t help it. He liked her curious gaze. The stubborn set of her shoulders so when she unrelentingly went after what she wanted, and right now, what he was pretty sure she wanted was to have a conversation with him.

It was his own fault. The last twenty-four hours of their marriage.

Where the fuck had that come from?

His throat had wanted to close up after he said it, and he’d gone mean to cover that up.

Fuck.

He still felt a little mean. Like she hadn't earned a conversation with him, like he wanted to make her watch him work forever.

He exhaled. When did he become this bitter? If she were telling the truth and this surprised her a few days ago, just as much as it did him, then of course she wanted to talk about it.

Monica wanted to talk about absolutely everything.

And once upon a time, he had loved to stretch out on his back, have her perch on top of him and chatter endlessly about everything.

He loved the sound of her voice, especially when she was excited and full of questions and ideas. God, that woman had more ideas than any single human being had any right to.

Is that really your core promise, though?

He slid the last brake pad into place and shot a glance in her direction. “What exactly is your new business?”

She slid her phone into the back pocket of her jeans and pushed off the wall where she’d been leaning. “I work with small but nimble businesses who are at critical pivot points, and need an outside perspective on who their customer is and what that person wants.”

He nodded. “That’s…”

She grinned. “Yes?”

“Impressive.”

Her smile softened. “Thank you.”

“And also confusing.”

She laughed. “The shorter version is, I help companies figure out what works and what doesn’t.”

“Nice.”

“It is. I mean, for me, and for them. It’s rewarding.”

“How’d you get into that?”

She wrinkled her nose. “Right place, right time.”

He gestured. Out with it. “You don’t need to hide that stuff from me. Despite what it looks like, I didn’t revert to a country hick who will be scarred if I find out how the business world works—or high society.”

That got him a roll of her eyes. “Hardly high society.”

“People call you a racing heiress, Mon.” He held up his hands. “Not me, of course. Just people.”

“People on TikTok, maybe.”

“Yeah. People.” He winked at her.
