Chapter 6

“It’s like a car crash . . . ” Adam sighed, rubbing a hand over his face as he passed me back the diary. “It’s painful reading this from your perspective, but I can’t look away.” He pointed to another diary. “I want to know more.”

Not liking the strain etched into his features, I shook my head. “Adam, we’re past all this. I didn’t mean for this to be painful. I just thought . . . well now that I have you, I can take a step back and look at the pieces of our history without it hurting. And you know me.” I shrugged. “The angst of it all seems romantic.” Then I frowned. “But you’re obviously not taking it that way, so I’m going to put these away.”

He clamped a large hand down on mine as I moved to pick up another journal. I glanced up at him and he shook his head with a small smile. “It’s painful to read how my stupidity hurt you at the time, but I like being inside your head. I like knowing that while I was struggling with the fact that I had fallen in love with my best friend’s little sister, she loved me back more than I could ever hope to deserve.”

I grinned at him. “One: You deserve it. And two,” I gestured to the diaries, to the story of us, “It is totally romantic, right?”

Adam laughed at my single-minded determination to turn us into a romance novel. “Maybe. But don’t tell anyone I said so. It’ll ruin my reputation.”

I sorted through the books, looking for the familiar purple leather cover of the last one. “Baby, you ruined that reputation when you told Braden Carmichael you were in love with me.”

“Cocky bastard knew all along,” Adam muttered unhappily. “Could have saved us a couple of months of worry.”

I found the diary and paged through it. “You mean, a couple of months of you being a mercurial pain in my arse?”

“Such a nice way to put it. But let’s not forget I wasn’t the only pain in the arse.”

“All I did was start dating again, and it took me ten months to do it after our little couch scene. You got off easy.” I thrust the diary at him and he took it with a scowl.

“I was staking my claim.”

“No, you were marking your territory without actually staking a claim.”

He chuckled and focused on the last page without responding. We both knew I was bloody right.
