Chapter Six

Ty had been edgy the rest of the night after Hailey’s party at the bakery.

He’d gone over for a while, in the spirit of friendly competition. But his mood had definitely been stifled compared to how he’d felt and acted at the Come Again.

If anyone noticed, they’d probably chalked it up to him being embarrassed about how Hailey had put him in his place.

Instead, he had been dealing with the reality that he was kind of a dumbass and that he was in love with a woman who wasn’t really who he’d thought she was.

Or at least she didn’t think she was.

Or something.

Ty tried to smile and make small talk with his family around his mother’s dining room table. They were having a big family lunch since TJ and his new girlfriend, Hope, had just gotten back from a trip to Arizona to retrieve some of Hope’s belongings for her move to Sapphire Falls.

Oh, and to celebrate Ty running for mayor.

Yeah, yippee.

Last night, the idea of taking Hailey on in the campaign and election had seemed like the right thing to do. Initially, he’d wanted to showcase what a great leader she was and give her some competition so when she won, she would feel like the gold medalist of Sapphire Falls.

Then, it had become a mission to help her see that she really was the tough, sharp fighter that he’d been crazy about since tenth grade.

And now, sitting at his mother’s table for lunch, sleep deprived and confused and worried about Hailey and worried that he was truly fucking everything up for her and for their relationship, he didn’t really know what he was doing.

That bugged the shit out of him.

He always knew what he was doing. He always had a plan, a goal, something he was working on and toward.

What was he working toward here?

Throwing an election. To win over a girl. Who would have won for sure if he’d just stayed out of it. And who he’d thought he already had.

Now he wasn’t sure he had anything. Throwing a race, of any kind, went against everything he knew. The girl wasn’t a fan of his training program idea. He didn’t have a solid knee, which meant everything he’d done since the past Olympics, where he’d come in second, didn’t matter. The girl was mad at him. And he was second place to her job and this election.

He really fucking hated coming in second.

Ty took a long drink of the iced tea his mother had refilled and told himself again that he was doing the right thing running against her. Hailey needed to see what she was made of.

But maybe he needed to see what she was made of too.

And he felt like a giant jackass thinking that.

He either loved her or he didn’t, right? That’s how it worked. You loved a person, no matter their flaws or their insecurities.

But surely he got some slack for having reservations considering he hadn’t even known she had insecurities.

Fuck.

He looked
