Chapter 9

The past week had been… eye-opening to say the least. Amber was a force to be reckoned with, and now that we’d sorted our shit out, she’d morphed into this confident, funny, exasperating woman I couldn’t get enough of.

Sure, the sex was good. It was better than good. It was fan-freakin-tastic. But it was more than that. She was attentive, nodding along as I told her stories about my work, how far out we were booked, my funniest clients and their ridiculous requests. She was kind, going out of her way to bring me lunch, or calling me at night to check on my stitches. She was brave, trying new foods and introducing me to her favorite hobbies.

Yoga wasn’t for me, but the view was phenomenal. I sat enraptured as she contorted her body in new ways, finding peace in the rhythm and flow. When class ended, I’d pulled the bike off a side street, draping her across the frame and giving us both the release we were after.

Every night, I went to sleep completely exhausted in the most satisfying way. My days were busy, and my afternoons even more so. I’d given Lucky and Darren more responsibility, assigning Candy and Jason to help. It was the most hands-off I’d ever been, and I loved it.

I still enjoyed the work, don’t get me wrong, but it was just a job. I’d focused on the shop for so long, I’d forgotten how nice it was to get out in the world, experience new things. And Amber was helping me do that.

I found myself searching for her everywhere. At the coffee shop, grabbing a donut. At the library, returning a book. Hell, I’d thought she was behind the counter on Wednesday when I had a filling fixed at the damn dentist.

The poor receptionist had screeched in terror when she found me leaning over the counter, reaching for her hand. Though, that was probably the goofy juice they gave me, because I was feeling goooooooood.

Now, the weekend was upon us, and I had big plans. Colossal plans. Naked plans. The bandage on my wrist was gone, the stitches healing nicely. A few more days, and the doctor could take them out. I’d managed to get my jeans on, going slowly. I never realized how much I used my right hand, until I couldn’t anymore.

I needed to meet Amber at the travel agency. She and I were going to check out the farmer’s market and pick up a few things for dinner. If we had time, maybe I could convince her to take a ride with me back to the waterfall. The temps were high enough and the water would be perfect for a swim.

I took the shop truck, packing a few towels and some snacks and strapping them into the backseat. I also drove through the coffee shop, Gene’s, and grabbed us each a drink.

By the time I made it to the travel agency, it was almost ten. I could see Amber through the window, phone pressed to her ear as she typed.
