Raine

I checked my phone right when I woke up. I still hadn’t heard from Ryder since he’d left the bar the night before.

Deep breaths.

He’s fine.

It’s just club shit.

I was doing a miserable job of not worrying about him. I had barely slept, but I knew better than to blow up his phone. No bitch, not even the president’s daughter, was allowed to act like a stage five clinger; it wasn’t a thing, and it would show everyone that I wasn’t as okay with Ryder being an outlaw as I had let on. I was even surprised myself. I never worried about my dad. He always came home. He never broke that promise and I trusted that he wouldn’t, but I was so scared Ryder would not be able to guarantee his own safety. It was my cross to bear and Ryder was fucking worth it.

I shot off a quick “good morning” text to him and then forced myself to get out of bed. Still in my pajamas, I groggily made my way down to the kitchen where I heard my stepmother already banging around, cooking.

“Hey Crickett?” I walked into the kitchen and saw her putting a few racks of ribs into the oven.

“What is it sweetheart?”

I pulled her in for a hug. “I never said thank you for helping me with the whole Dad-Ryder situation.”

She laughed a little. “Oh, honey. Sometimes you just have to remind those stubborn men of ours who is really the boss around here. Want some cocoa?”

I took a seat at the dining room table, like I used to do when I was a little girl, waiting not-so-patiently for the warm chocolaty goodness that was about to trip me down memory lane. She plopped a couple of marshmallows in each of our mugs after basting the ribs.

I took in a deep breath of the sweet aroma. “This is exactly what I needed.”

She smiled at me. “Good. How’s everything been with Ryder?”

After wiping off my hot chocolate mustache, I beamed. “He’s amazing. Even through all the stress of work and the club shit he can’t really tell me about, he still is sweet and caring.”

Crickett smirked, rolling her fingertips around the edge of her mug. “Sounds familiar.”

“What does?”

“The way you’re feeling now is how I still feel about your father. He’s my soul mate.”

I swooned at her words; they gave me so much hope. “Being in love with someone that loves you back is the greatest euphoria on this planet.”

Crickett grabbed my hand and intently looked into my eyes. “Love is the ecstasy that makes sense of this crazy, fucked up world we live in.”

I nodded. “I couldn't agree more.”

Right then Collin game trudging into the kitchen, sniffing around the stove. “Ribs for dinner?”

Crickett got up to start fixing a cup of cocoa for her son. “I had to figure out some way to get you to come straight home after practice at least one night this week.

Collin hooked an arm around Crickett’s. “Oh Ma, you don't have to bribe me.
