Chapter 9

The two-hour car ride to Los Angeles passed quickly. Tris was animated and chatty, and it meant Shane didn't have to do much work holding up his end of the conversation. It had been driving him crazy not to talk to her, see her, or hear her laugh except through the damn wall of his room. And then there was the added benefit of being able to keep her safer if she wasn't spending her time actively avoiding him.

The weekend she'd gone to Vegas with Ricca, he'd been restless. Obviously, Caleb had his best guys on her, and Shane had appreciated sleeping in his own bed. But not being the one to watch her made him antsy and unsettled.

Caleb was right. His whole life he'd never allowed himself to want anything. And now that he finally dared to want, it was just out of his grasp. But he was going to enjoy this weekend, even if it was just pretend. A black SUV passed them heading toward the toll roads. He considered following, but decided to go up the 5 Freeway; the longer they took to drive, the longer they had to themselves. And the toll roads were definitely faster.

Caleb's team had set a trap for whoever was using her old phone. Shane hoped it worked because if it didn't, then it meant that whoever was after her was either smarter than they were or had a major inside track into how they were covering her. The first was unlikely but possible. The second option infuriated him and was harder to defend against because the target would always be one step ahead.

Once they parked, she smiled at him. "Thank you for doing this. You know you didn't have to drive. We could have just taken the train up."

He’d considered it, but didn't want to be stuck on a train with very few exits. Not at all defensible. And he preferred to be in control of the vehicle. "It's no problem. I like to drive. And I thought it might be nice to have some time to ourselves."

“You’re pulling out all the stops now.” She laughed.

"You could say that. I pulled some strings to make this weekend really fun."

Her answering grin was enough to warm him from the inside out. He wanted nothing more than to see her smile like that all the time. She pushed her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose and said, "I was checking out the list of bands today. Who do you want to see first? Most of the ones I'm interested in are going to be on the main stage, but everyone will want to see them, so I assume it'll be packed."

"It will, but have some faith, I planned ahead."

"What? On the off chance that I'd say yes?"

Yeah. And if she hadn't, Alec had arranged for Micha to give her and her friends the tickets and hotel. But luckily she'd forgiven him. When this was all over, he was going to have a hell of a time unraveling all the lies he'd told her.
