STEVIE

This last month of my life has been the most insane.

First, the night out at the bar with other moms—the same ones who still haven’t called to invite me out again. Then Greer showing up at the truck and guilting me into a date. Him training Macie. Me losing my job. Greer kissing me.

And now, he’s in my apartment.

None of this was at all how I thought this month would pan out, but here we are.

Here we are, stepping into my apartment, Greer’s eyes taking in the space around him. I’m sure it’s not much to him, but it’s home to Macie, Scout, and me.

“This is nice,” he says, pulling his jacket off. “It’s—”

“An absolute disaster? I know, but you’ll have to excuse the mess. I have a ten-year-old.”

Greer folds his jacket—one I’m sure cost as much as my rent—over his arm and lifts his dark brows. “I was going to say cozy. It’s cozy. A lot more lived in than my apartment.”

“Lived in is a nice way to say messy.”

“No. It’s a nice way to say my apartment is cold and unwelcoming. This isn’t.” His eyes move around the room, still surveying each part. “I don’t spend much time at my place, especially during the season, so it feels a little bland. This one reminds me of my childhood home—lived in.”

“Does your mother still live there?”

“No. She lives here, actually.”

“Really?”

“Yep.” He nods. “I moved her here a few years ago after her third divorce. She was in a rough place, and I figured a change might do her some good. Now her business is thriving, and she’s getting married. So we’re all happy, I guess.”

“Yes, you sound positively elated when you talk about your mother’s fourth marriage.” I roll my eyes so he knows I’m being a complete smartass. I grab his coat, hanging it up on one of the empty hooks near the door, then toeing off my heels. I look ridiculous right now, still wearing Greer’s clothes and my high heels, but I didn’t feel like changing again after skating.

He grunts. “Sorry. It’s just…”

“You don’t believe in love. I know.”

An arm curls around my waist, and I’m tugged back against him before I even know what’s happening. He spins me around, pressing my back against the door and boxing me in. I’m out of breath as I stare up at him, my chest heaving, nearly brushing against him because that’s how close he is.

“Steve,” he whispers, his hand slipping down my side to my waist, his fingers curling into my skin, branding me as his.

“Greer.” I grin despite my best efforts not to. I hate being called Steve, but the way it sounds coming out of his mouth…well, it makes me hate it a little less.

“Say my other name.”

“Huh?”

“My first name.” His grip on me tightens. “Say it.”

“Jacob.”

He inhales sharply, and a quick beat later, his mouth crashes against mine. I have no clue who reaches for the other first, but it doesn’t matter now that we’re fused together, pulling at each other like maniacs.
