Chapter Fifteen

Laurel settled into her favorite corner of the couch, her sock-clad feet perched on the lower edge of the coffee table. Robin was similarly tucked into the opposite corner. Pizza, beer, and plates were perfectly spread out across the coffee table.

“Someone needs to get Lane,” Laurel said.

Robin nodded. “It’s too bad we don’t have shoes on.”

“You guys suck.” I pushed myself out of the square, mod armchair that shouldn’t have been comfortable, but was infinitely so.

“Aw, thanks. You didn’t have to do that,” Robin said.

Laurel laughed. “Yeah, that’s sweet.”

I rolled my eyes and headed down to the street. Lane had the hood closed and was back on the floorboards. She was rapidly losing daylight.

“Lane,” I called.

She rolled to her back and half sat up. “I’m almost done.”

“Finish it later. We’ve got pizza.”

“Fine. Will you look around and make sure I didn’t leave out any tools?” She dropped the screwdriver she was holding onto the small pile of wire cutters and socket wrenches on the bench seat.

I walked around the truck, looked in the bed, glanced underneath, but I didn’t see any forgotten supplies. “I don’t see anything.”

“Cool. You think everything will be okay locked in the cab?”

“Yeah. You’ll be back down in thirty minutes.”

She followed me back upstairs. Laurel and Robin were serving pizza. Robin handed me a plate. Laurel did the same for Lane. I reclaimed my chair. Lane went to sit between Laurel and Robin.

“Oh, no. You’re disgusting.” Laurel smacked Lane’s ass. “You’re on the floor.”

“What?” Lane looked back and forth between Robin and me like we had the answers.

“You’re covered in dirt and spiderwebs and weird patches of grease.” Laurel pointed at the floor.

“I am not.” Lane looked down. Her jeans did look patchy with filth. She sighed and set her plate on the table. “I’m going to go wash my hands.” Instead of going into the kitchen, she went down the hallway toward the bathroom and Laurel’s bedroom. The sound of the water running carried. Two minutes later, Lane returned. She had removed her borrowed flannel and was pulling on a newer, cleaner flannel over her tank top.

“So you’re almost done installing?” Laurel asked.

Lane nodded and swallowed her bite of pizza. “I’m securing the sub. The wiring is all in place so I just need to hook it up and make sure everything is working.”

“Cool. Does that mean you’ll be finished tonight?”

“Probably. I hope so.” Lane nodded toward me. “I told Cash earlier that I want to go back to class tomorrow.”

“That’s great, sis.”

Lane half shrugged. “We’ll see.”

“You have Monday classes?” Robin asked.

“Yeah. Monday, Wednesday, Friday.”

“That’s not bad.”

“Are you moving back on campus?” Laurel asked.

“Nope. I called dibs on little sister.” I winked at Lane.

“Did you just wink at her?” Laurel asked.

“Yeah. What of it?”

“Winking is creepy. And you can’t call dibs on someone.”

“I agree with Laurel on this one,” Robin said.

“No one asked you.” I pointed at Robin.

“Do you want a ride to campus tomorrow?” Laurel asked Lane.

“Oh. Yeah. That would be good. I guess I can’t just walk to class like I usually do.
