If Shaun wasn’t smelly and covered in sheetrock dust, he would have driven straight to Paige’s house after work. He stopped home first, ignoring the call of his bed, and took a quick shower. His mom and Craig were outside working in the garden again, and he chose to believe it was only because of a mutual love of gardening. Oh well. Something to worry about later. She’d been so much happier since their visit to the counselor’s office.

A little aftershave, a quick comb through his hair, and he jumped back in his truck, running on pure desire to see Paige, and not much else. He squeezed his eyes shut and opened them again, hoping the traffic would look a little less fuzzy. Yeah, he should probably concentrate on getting there in one piece. He drove like a little old lady with his hands firmly on the steering wheel until he pulled up to her house.

He knocked on the door and almost fell asleep waiting for Paige to answer. Maybe she wasn’t home yet. He’d just sleep on the front stoop. Or maybe the grass.

Paige threw the door open and beamed, her smile brightening up everything inside of him. “Sorry, Ashley and I were hugging it out. She’s about to go talk to Mom and Dad about what happened.”

He took a step forward. “You’re giving out hugs today?”

She laughed and threw her arms around him, giving him a big hug. When she tipped her head up to look at him, he pressed his lips to hers, kissing her like he hadn’t seen her in forever.

“Shaun,” she whispered between kisses. “I have really nosy neighbors. They’re retired. I’m pretty sure they have binoculars.”

“Don’t care,” he said, going in for another long kiss.

But after a minute he lifted her up and carried her into the kitchen, setting her down on a stool before walking back to shut the front door they’d left open.

“Where’s Ashley?”

“In her room getting ready.”

“And she’s okay?”

“Yeah. She’s got great security at her work, and so far Reid hasn’t tried to call or anything.” Without asking, she put three cookies on a plate for him and poured him a glass of milk.

“Fortunately, I think Reid’s the type who knows when to cut his losses. He’ll be on the hunt for his next girlfriend by tomorrow.”

“That’s reassuring,” Ashley said, walking in and grabbing her purse off the back of a chair.

Shaun winced. Yeah, that wasn’t going to help her like him any better. But he wasn’t ashamed to hope it was the truth. “Always nice to see you, Ashley.” He smiled big.

She responded with an eye roll and left.
