I knew it.” I slammed my fist into the steering wheel as I glanced over at Cass, who was bouncing in her seat. The flames of a raging bonfire could be seen from the gravel road as we made our way to her folks’ home.

“Don’t be mad. Everyone wants to celebrate with you.” Her sheepish grin and furrowing brow melted my heart.

“I could never be mad at you, babe. Thank you for putting this all together.” It was a kind gesture, but it stung my heart a bit.

We passed the row of bikes lining the fence as we headed into the field out back. “Looks like the gang’s all here,” I remarked as I parked my truck between Nate’s and Fletch’s.

“Are you surprised?” Cass grabbed my hand before I could hop out of the Bronco.

“I couldn’t be more surprised if I woke up in the morning with my head sewn to the carpet.” I shot her a wink.

“Okay, Clark Griswold,” she teased, following me out of the car.

Handing me a beer, Nate slapped me on the back. “Happy birthday, man.”

“Thanks.” I cracked open the can, taking a long swig. “It’s just like old times.”

Cassidy had no idea how hard it was for me to have a birthday, let alone celebrate it like we used to so many years ago. It made me miss my brother so much and feel guilty that I was alive to see another year while he was six feet under. My mind tripped back to all the parties Cameron used to throw in this very field as we were growing up, the dirt still etched with the countless times he’d stupidly done donuts in the Bronco after a few too many. I could hear his voice echoing in my head, telling me to suck it up and enjoy the night, but I fucking missed him, some times more than others.

Reading me, Nate held his beer high in the air, pouring a little out. “He’s here with us, man—don’t forget that.”

I gave him a quick hug. “Yeah, you’re right.”

Nate’s eyes were glassy and his pupils were dilated to three times their normal size. I could tell he was on something, but it wasn’t the time nor the place to bring that shit up again. I’d have to figure out another way to make him open up to me about it.

Glancing over my shoulder, I checked to make sure Cass was with Emily and Fletch as Buck and Mac walked up to join Nate and me.

Right as I was about to head over to them, a sight for sore eyes came into view. Ryder, Raine, Bear and Scarlett were walking over with shit eating grins on their faces.

“Y’all were in on this too?” I hooked my arm around Ryder’s neck, squeezing hard. “I could kill you guys for not giving me a heads up.”

Raine nodded over to Cassidy. “Your little lady would have shot us all dead if we had spilled these beans.”

“How’s little Abel doin’?” I asked, getting them all beers.
