Chapter Four

Stryker was due on stage in thirty minutes but when Harper’s smiling face pressed against his popped up on screen with the name “Chewie” he couldn’t help but answer. She knew he had a show, so her reason for calling must be important.

“Hey, what’s up?” he said, propping his phone on his shoulder so he could lace up his boots. In the month since he’d met Harper, they had talked every day. It varied depending on his schedule and whether she was at work or not, but without fail it was the favorite part of his day. They had already talked for about fifteen minutes earlier that afternoon so he was surprised to get another call, and worried something was wrong.

Harper had become ridiculously important to him. He was in San Antonio, the twentieth city in thirty days, and when he lay in his hotel room or rode on the bus and heard her laughter in his ear, he wasn’t lonely. Her voice felt like the home he’d been missing.

“Guess what happened to me today?” she said without any other greeting.

“Um…” He thought about what she had said was going on in her life. “You had a three martini lunch with Ellie?”

She laughed. “No. My job would be a little tricky after slinging vodka. Try again.”

“You got laid?” He hoped that wasn’t it. Because there was no question whatsoever that he would be jealous. Harper wanted a friend in him and he cherished the hell out of that relationship but at the same time, he wanted more. He wanted all of her.

“Ew, no!”

That made him laugh. “Why is that ew?”

“Because why would I tell you about that?”

He finished lacing his boots and stomped his feet on the floor to make sure they felt comfortable. He stood up and reached for his guitar. If he couldn’t rock Harper, he would have to rock the audience. “Because friends talk about their love lives.”

“I don’t want to hear about your love life,” she said flatly. “Let’s just get that clear right now.”

That made him grin. She was just as jealous as he was. “Okay then. So you tell me what happened since I suck at guessing and I need to be on stage in twenty-five minutes.”

“I got my cast off! I am fully functional once again.”

“Hey, that’s good news, congrats.” She had expressed a lot of frustration over the difficulties of life with a cast, so he was thrilled for her to have her mobility back. “Now you can do cart-wheels, take up archery, and soak in the hot tub.”

She gave a peel of laughter that did things to his insides. Every time they spoke, his feelings for Harper grew, and he was simultaneously loving it, and getting frustrated as hell.

“I’ve never been able to do a cart-wheel. Not even when I was four and weighed thirty pounds and had the flexibility of a rubberband. I have zero athletic ability. Archery could be fun though only if you let me dress like Joan of Arc.
