“You’re here early again?” Oliver leans against my office door with a smug grin. “It’s like I don’t even know who you are anymore.”

I sit back in my chair and smooth my tie down the center of my chest. “Don’t worry, Golden Boy. I’m not coming for your job.”

He snorts. “I’m hardly worried about that.” He walks inside and sits down across from me.

The early morning sun rises over downtown Savannah. It’s a really cool thing to watch. It’s my new thing this week—grab a cup of coffee and then wait for the show.

It’s weird being at the company headquarters routinely, let alone at six in the morning. I had an idea about the Greyshell property after talking with Holt on Sunday at my house and came in Monday to work on it. I came back all week.

Turns out, working doesn’t kill me. Who knew?

“How are things going at your place?” Oliver asks. “Is it weird having housemates that you aren’t fucking?”

“Who said I’m not fucking Jaxi?”

He grins.

It’s like he knows that I haven’t slept with her.

Every day that passes, it gets harder—both literally and figuratively. I considered that my attraction to her might lessen over time, that having a child around would make her less sexy.

I was wrong.

My life before this tsunami was a lot of fun. It was wild and filled with late nights and even later mornings. I had a great thing going.

So why am I enjoying this new thing this much?

It’s not hard to enjoy walking into a room and have someone catapult themselves at you like you’re the coolest person in the world. It’s quite nice to have someone expect you to come home in the evening and ask you questions about your day. I love the way the house smells and feels like a home—like burnt food and cleaning supplies and laundry soap.

I’m needed and appreciated because of who I am and not just what I can give someone. It’s pretty fucking fabulous.

As long as I don’t screw it up, anyway.

“Well, look at you,” Holt says, poking his head around the corner. “In the office like a proper fucking adult.”

“Good morning to you, too,” I say.

He grins as he sips his coffee and slides into the chair next to Oliver.

“What are we talking about?” Holt asks.

“Nothing,” Oliver says, his eyes trained on me. “Meaning, how much ass our little brother is getting.”

I rock back in my chair and look at the ceiling. “Grow up, Ollie.”

“I never thought I’d hear Boone telling Oliver to grow up.” Wade walks in and stands behind Holt. “That’s what I heard him say, right?”

“Yup.” Holt laughs. “We’re just teasing you, Boone.”

I sit back up and stare into the faces of my brothers. “Does anyone have anything nice to say to me today?”

“Nope,” Oliver says.

Holt grins.

“I don’t. You look like shit,” Wade says.

He’s right. I know it. I feel like I look like shit.

My back aches from sleeping on the couch. My neck is cramped from the weird bend it has to take to fit on the pillow that clearly wasn’t made to be on a narrow space.
