I should have known better than to think I’d get that lucky. I was just sneaking out of the kitchen, a travel mug full of coffee and a bagel in my hand, when Parker showed up in front of me, her skin looking freshly scrubbed and her eyes a whole lot brighter than they had been.

“So?” she asked. “Breakfast?”

I opened and closed my mouth, having completely forgotten that I’d told her I’d cook breakfast if she went up and had a shower.

Goddammit.

“Turns out I’m not going to be able to do breakfast,” I told her, my mind kicking into gear and handing me the answer to her question. “Friend called. Gotta go help some people out of the mud.”

“Helping people out of the mud?” a tiny voice piped up from behind Parker. “Count me in.”

And, as if seeing Parker wasn’t bad enough, Avery herself dodged around her taller friend, looking just as freshly scrubbed, and grinned up at me. “I take it the cows all managed to stay in their barns last night, then? No more hustling this morning?”

I kept my mouth shut, knowing that I didn’t have an answer prepared for her. Yes, the cows had managed to stay in their barns last night. And yes, I was going to help people out of the mud. I mean, theoretically, that was one of the things I’d been doing.

But I hadn’t for one golden moment wanted to take Avery Dawson with me to do it.

Having her help yesterday had already led me right into a world of trouble. Who knew what would happen if I had her around for another day?

Nothing good, that was for sure.

And the last thing I needed was for her to think we had something building between us. I didn’t have space in my life for anyone to think she had anything with me.

Even worse if she tried to hold me to something when I had exactly nothing to give.
