Chapter Fourteen

Blake opened the bag of ice he’d brought and poured it over the craft beer in the cooler. He really didn’t want to be there. He liked these two guys too much. The last thing he needed was to grow closer to them when he was trying to get further away. But they’d both insisted and said this one last boat trip, just the three of them, would be in lieu of any going-away party. That was a fair enough trade. The last thing he needed was half the town gathered around him asking questions about his new job.

Besides, he was going to take this opportunity to confront Bo about why he hadn’t asked Seanna out yet and convince him that he had to do it quickly…before Blake got further involved.

Chase patted his pockets. “Goddammit.”

“What?” Blake asked.

“I left the damn keys to the boat at home. Can you believe that shit?”

“Give me your car keys, and I’ll run get them.”

“Nah, I’ll do it. Just sit here and try not to drink all the beer. Bo will be here in a minute.”

“All right,” Blake said and took a seat on the cushions facing the sea.

Watching the waves crest and break, he thought about how much he’d miss the ocean when he got to Kansas. A wave of panic washed over his chest. He’d gotten used to that by now. The idea of going back to medicine gave him minor panic attacks, complete with a dizzy head. He wasn’t sure he was ready for this. Not sure at all. He closed his eyes, trying to relax, but the flood of stress that had given him permanent lines between his eyebrows clouded his brain.

The crunch of gravel signaling Bo’s arrival perked him up. This was perfect timing. They could talk freely before Chase got back. If Blake couldn’t convince Bo to ask Seanna out, then he’d consider wrapping up his business early and getting out of town as soon as he could.

When he heard Bo getting close, Blake shouted, “Around the front deck. Chase forgot the keys.”

Bo’s footfalls were quicker than usual…lighter. Blake peered in the direction of the steps.
