It was snowing in Atlanta, which meant the city was all over the news, and that didn’t help my resolve to get back to my usual routine and stop thinking about my family. At least there’d been nothing about flight issues. Cai would be able to handle snow on the ground. Boston wasn’t like Maine or anything like that, but all four of us boys had learned to drive in real winter weather. Addison was from Minnesota, so that was enough said.

I frowned as I realized that Cai and Addison would probably take a cab from the airport, which meant the insane traffic making the news this morning could have my brother right in the middle of it. I doubted Georgia drivers would know what they were doing. Maybe I should text Cai and make sure they were okay.

“Whoa, Hunter, what is that on your face? A frown?”

The voice made me smile. Joey Kimble was thirteen days older than me, a fact she reminded me of constantly. When she turned thirty in the fall, those thirteen days were going to be a blast for me. I’d been planning all sorts of things already. She was going to regret every joke.

“That’s more like it,” she said as she leaned against my desk. “I was getting worried for a minute there.”

“Just thinking about how glad I am it’s Saturday,” I said. “You got plans this weekend?”

“You mean am I finally going to trip up and tell you who I’ve been dating for the last three months?” She grinned, aquamarine-colored eyes sparkling. “You gotta try harder than that if you’re going to get me to slip up.”

I raised my hands in surrender. “You can’t blame a guy for trying.”

I didn’t tell her that I’d completely forgotten that I’d been harassing her about it for the last twelve weeks, playing the overprotective big brother role. Joey and I had come to the team within months of each other and had bonded almost immediately. On the odd days I couldn’t keep the past in the past, I wondered if this was how it would have been with me and Aimee, if she’d lived.

I pushed the thought away. Not right now.

Seeing my brothers in Boston had made things from the past resurface and seeing Cai here hadn’t helped any.

Joey’s expression sobered, and she glanced around to make sure we were alone. I knew what was coming next but didn’t bother to cut her off. Joey was as stubborn as she was badass. Best to just ride it out.

“How are you?” She rolled her eyes. “I know you told me that you and your grandfather weren’t close, but it still has to be rough. Him being gone.”

I shrugged. “It is what it is.”

She leaned over and put her hand on my forearm. “You know I’m here if you need me, right?”

Before I could tell her that I’d never need to talk about my feelings because I was fine, a wolf whistle cut through the room.

“You two should get a room.
