Chapter Ten

HEATH GOT UP early Wednesday morning, and before he set out for his morning run, he texted Ally.

How can I miss you already?

He ran through Central Park, hoping to quell the jealousy that had prickled his nerves last night and had eaten away at him through the wee hours of the morning. He’d slept fitfully, not because he thought Ally might go behind his back and see another guy, but because after years of not giving a shit about anyone outside of his family—and of course his patients, but that was a different type of caring altogether—he cared, really cared, about her. Allyson had gotten under his skin, and he fucking loved it, but he had no idea how to handle the crap that came along with it. How did he shake the feeling of wanting to be with her every minute? And how could he convince her that he would never hurt her the way she’d been hurt before?

More importantly, when had he become clingy?

What the hell was that all about?

The sun was just coming up as he circled back and ran toward home. He spotted his friend Josh Braden, a world-renowned clothing designer, running on the path ahead of him. He and Josh had run together a number of times over the last few years. Heath’s father had grown up in Trusty, Colorado, while his mother had grown up in Weston, Colorado, where Josh’s family lived. Heath’s parents had been good friends with Hal and Adriana Braden, Josh’s parents. Adriana had passed away when the Braden children were young, leaving Hal to raise his six children alone. When Heath was growing up, his parents had sent him and his brothers to work on Hal’s ranch for a few weeks each summer. Their father had insisted that hard manual labor instilled morals and a strong sense of self. The weeks they’d spent together had also built a sense of loyalty between the two families.

“Braden!” Heath called as he caught up to Josh.

Josh turned with a ready smile. “Heath, how’s it going? I haven’t seen you running lately.” He was the same height as Heath, with thick dark hair, which was perfectly coiffed even as he ran, dark brown eyes, and a lean, muscular frame.

“I was out of town for a conference, and I’ve been tied up recently.” Literally. The thought made him smile. “How’s Riley?”

“Great. Getting anxious to have our wedding.” Josh and Riley had been engaged, and business partners, for more than a year. They’d both grown up in Weston, but they hadn’t started dating until she’d moved to the city to work for Josh.

Heath remembered that Josh and Riley had fallen for each other pretty quickly, too. “Josh, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?”

“Sure. Go ahead.”

“How did you know Riley was the right woman for you?”

Josh turned his dark eyes on Heath, and without missing a step he said, “There was never any question. We kissed. I knew.” He shifted his eyes to the path ahead of them.
