She was in the home office later that day when Blake walked in quietly from behind. She continued to type on her laptop as he moved closer to her. They had a good time with Dev and Nicole and played the part of good godparents.

She managed a casual manner even after their conversation during their photo shoot. She didn’t prolong their conversation and did not bring it up on their drive back home.

“Working on something?” His voice was soft as he came to lean against the desk next to her.

“I’m almost done.” She smiled looking up at him. “Do you want to go for a run before dinner?”

“I need to show you something before that. Come find me when you are done.” He started to move away, and she held his hand before he moved away.

“I’m done.” She shut her laptop and stood up looking at him.

“Can I show you something?” he asked taking her palm in his.

“Yes, and why do you sound so ominous?” she teased in an attempt to lighten the mood and was relieved to see a smile light up his face.

“You might find this interesting.” He led her to the deck from the family room. She followed him quietly as they walked through the endless green grass toward an outhouse. The outhouse was not occupied but looked cute with a little red door and a single-car garage.

“Does someone live here?” she asked looking around at the small patio furniture set and the potted plants that were neatly arranged.

“Nope,” he grunted holding the door slightly open for her. She stepped into a dark room that smelled of grease and metal. The windows that were visible from the outside were either completely covered, or they were fake because there was no light streaming in from them.

He hit the switch, and bright lights illuminated a garage full of motorcycles. Five magnificent looking motorcycles stood proudly under the spotlights.

“Wow, so this is where you keep all your bikes?” She walked away from him to admire a Ducati Super sports bike that she had her eye on the day it was released.

She ran her palm on the handle and turned back to look at him. “Did you ride this bike to work the other day?”

He nodded, a light smile on his face.

“How could you?” she growled. “You have all these bikes, and you didn’t bother sharing.”

“I don’t ride much anymore,” he shrugged digging his hands into his shorts’ pockets.

“You rode to work the other day,” she pointed out winking at him.

He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled sheepishly. “You made me do it, and it was the first time in years.”

“What? You can’t just walk to your secret garage and just drive off after years, and this baby here is new. What am I missing?” She lightly leaned against the parked bike a million questions in her eyes.

“I have a guy who comes by twice a week to condition the bikes and take them for a ride, so they are ready to go when I want them.
