“Is your head in the game today, man?” Sam asks, his eyes assessing everything about me. My gaze stays focused on the practice bikes racing across the track, while I roll my neck.

“Why wouldn’t it be?” I grit out, eyeing up the number one racer for our rival team, Dirt Grinders. Bro’s been picking up numbers along the south and is only ranked a couple points below me.

“You just seem preoccupied lately,” Sam answers truthfully. One thing I always appreciate about my boys is that they aren’t afraid to call each other out on their bullshit, especially if it affects AfterHours.

“It’s all good,” I lie through my teeth, before tapping his shoulder with my fist and making my way to the locker room. It’s three hours until race time and I need to figure some shit out.

Three months have passed since the series in Detroit, and Scarlet has become a different person. She’s closed-off during the day, and barely acknowledges when I’m around. She’s short when talking with me about how she spends her days and refuses to discuss the future anymore. When we met almost eight months ago, she had a plan. Yes, I derailed it slightly by asking her to come with me, but I haven’t stopped her from checking out colleges when we’re in cities she has wanted to see. I haven’t requested any funds from her, so I know the stash she saved for college, specifically, should still be there. I even offered to bring Evita out to visit, and she shut me down, hard and fast.

I would be concerned she was bored or regretting her decision to stay, except every night she climbs me like an animal. The chemistry hasn’t died. By day, it’s like living with a stranger and at night, we can’t keep our hands off each other. I didn’t even make it to the lockers to shower after the race last night. Scarlet met me in the tunnel and I ended up bending her over my bike in the trailer, my hand clamped over her mouth to hold her screams in. It was intense and every time we fuck now, it feels like she’s pulling down a barrier only to build up another one, higher, the next day.

Scarlet won’t say if it’s her family or her dad. All I can think about it when she flew home right before Colorado. She denies it has anything to do with that. The only other time I can think of that doesn’t sit right was her disappearing act in Detroit, right before everything became off. She said she didn’t feel good, but I can’t help thinking there’s more. My gut usually isn’t wrong about these things and every nerve ending is standing on edge whenever I see her.

I’m the only one in the locker room, so I take a hot shower, letting the water run over my muscles and force myself to relax. I get out and change, before sitting and shoving in my AirPods.
