Chapter Seventeen

Nate

I WHISTLED AS I ROUNDED the corner to her house, feeling a lightness in my chest I hadn’t felt in a while. Something about the thought of spending the day with her—even after a long shift at work—made the world seem a little brighter.

I had agreed to come around when I was finished my shift at work, and I had hired out a handful of tools as well as gathering a few supplies for the repairs. I wasn’t sure what I would do with everything once we were done, but I could think about that once we got there. For now, all I was really interested in was getting this house back into good shape and creating a place Celeste would be able to live without worrying for herself.

Plus, I was looking forward to seeing a little more of Ellie. I wasn’t sure what it was nagging at the back of my mind, but the thought of her had hooked in there and I couldn’t get rid of it, no matter how hard I tried. I wished I was able to cut through the bullshit of everything going on in my head so I could figure out exactly what I felt about her, but hey – I had a couple of weeks to work it out. I could take my time. There was no rush.

I pulled the car to a halt outside the house and spotted her in the kitchen. She was singing along to some music I could hear from the radio, and scrubbing at the window frame as though her life depended on it. She hadn’t noticed me yet, and for a moment, I just watched her—the way her hair bobbed as she danced on the spot, the smile spreading over her face as the music took hold of her. She really was gorgeous.

She lifted her head and spotted me there, and beamed. It was the first time she had greeted me with a proper smile, and I returned it. I liked the feeling of being good news to her, instead of bringing a heap of questions she needed to answer. I wanted to make a difference to her, I wanted to make her see how much I could help. I wanted to be indispensable, because that meant she would want me around more.

Okay, I was already overthinking, and I hadn’t even stepped through the door yet. I needed to pull myself together, or she was going to see right through me and work out what was going on in my head. I didn’t want her to guess just how attracted I was to her—I didn't want her to think this was the only reason I was doing this, when I had a genuine vested interest in making sure her mom was doing better.

She came outside to greet me, a spray bottle of cleaning fluid in one hand and an old rag in the other, and waved and smiled.

“Hey!” she greeted me happily. “I didn’t think you would get here so soon after work.
