Chapter Eleven

Three Months Later

Gavyn sat in the parking lot of Middletown’s hospital, debating whether or not he should get off his motorcycle or turn around and trek the long hours back to Bare Natural. The Powertools crew had asked him to go on their behalf, to congratulate the Hot Rods and welcome their littlest member into the world, but he couldn’t decide if they truly appreciated his flexibility—AKA the fact that he still had no job—or if they were making excuses to send him across state lines as part of some misguided matchmaking scheme.

Was this the right thing to do?

He’d spent a lot of time asking himself that lately. Learning to trust himself had been one of the hardest things he’d done since his grand breakdown the night of the Hot Rods’ wedding.

The night he’d destroyed his future. Again. Well, one he might have had. He’d begun to salvage the wreckage of his life, determined to rebuild it the best he could. Only fitting since he still planned to open his own bike shop. Actually…that was the other reason he’d come.

For help.

He’d started thinking of himself as a project. Knock off some rust here, put in replacement parts there, and soon he’d be roadworthy again. Well, he thought he might be to that point already. Now it was time to focus on professional matters.

Opening his shop by the end of the year had become an official goal.

Except sitting here, looking at a building he knew Amber Brown had recently stood inside was enough to make his chest ache. Would seeing her friends help or hurt his progress?

Maybe if she’d answered his long, detailed apology email—not with forgiveness, he didn’t expect that, but with any sort of acknowledgement—he might not feel so out of place.

Still, he knew he owed the Hot Rods an in-person visit. After all, several of them had been responsible for saving his life, giving him a chance to start new—if not as innocently as the baby Kaige and Nola had created and would raise together with their friends.

It was the decent thing to do. He had resolved he would stick to that path, even when it wasn’t easy, from now on. So far, so good.

Just to be extra careful, because he’d learned to moderate his reckless behavior some, he took out his phone and texted Roman.

I’m here. Amber’s gone, right?

He sat there, swallowing hard, his hands fidgeting with the touch screen until the cell buzzed in his palm.

Yes. But I still think it would be better if she wasn’t. I can call her back.

No “but”, Roman. I won’t do that to her. If she wants to talk to me ever again, she knows where to find me.

Okay, well, maybe not at the moment she didn’t. But she could easily find out. Yet hadn’t.

Relieved, Gavyn climbed from the bike and snagged the package Kayla had given him before he left early that morning. Along with a lecture only a sibling could deliver, like the closing arguments of a high-profile case, about what she thought was best for him.
