Adam took the bag from Alex’s hand and stepped aside as Mojo trotted in. Alex had brought everything they needed, including the laptop he’d left at the club. It was still on and still running its program. Adam quickly went and plugged it in, unwilling to lose the data.

“That dog is useless,” Alex said, a glimmer of a smile on his face as the big mutt wagged his tail. “He barked once when I walked in. I told him to stop it in a slightly deeper than normal voice, and then he followed me around with his tail between his legs. He’s a sub dog. How did she find a sub dog?”

“I think like attracts like in this case,” Adam murmured, petting the dog.

“Is she okay?” Alex asked.

Adam nodded. “Sort of. I think she’s still in shock. Having her laptop will help. I really appreciate it, man.”

“No problem.” Alex stopped. “You’re serious about this girl, right? Because Eve actually thinks she’s a little fragile.”

“She’s not fragile. She’s been through a lot.” She was strong.

“I think Eve’s worried about you hurting her.”

“Why the hell would I hurt her? I’m trying to protect her.” He defended himself, but he’d already hurt her once tonight.

“You throw yourself into these things without really thinking it through, and Jake can be like a cactus sometimes. I’m a little worried about what happens to her if this thing doesn’t work out. This is her fantasy. She’s been dreaming about this, writing about it. I’m just worried about what happens when the bubble bursts.”

“It won’t.” Adam was getting a little sick of everyone warning him. He wasn’t a kid. He was thirty freaking years old, and he knew what he wanted. He wanted Serena. He intended to have her.

Alex held up his hands in mock surrender. “Just make sure you let her down easy if the time comes. That’s all I’m saying.”

Alex turned and walked out the door.

“No one believes this can work.” Jake stood in the kitchen archway, a glass of wine in his hand. It had to be for Serena. Jake didn’t drink wine. He was a beer and whiskey kind of guy.

“Well, we know differently.” Adam didn’t like the hollow look in Jake’s eyes. “I fucked up. You fucked up. Look at us. We’re still fine. She’s still here. It’s going to be okay.”

He had to believe that. He’d given up way too much to think that they couldn’t make it work in the end.

Jake nodded. “She’s still real quiet. I told her to take a shower. You need to go to her. You need to fix her. She gets in that head of hers and she won’t come out.”

She’d been silent on the way home, looking back out the window as her car disappeared. That car was going to be towed again, and she might not feel safe in it. It had been a symbol of what she’d accomplished, and now it was a reminder of how much life could suck.
