RIDLEY
My hand slips from the wrench Iâm using, sending my knuckles into metal and slicing skin off my hand. Dammit.
Randiâs old beater rattles something fierce. It should have been easy for me to tighten bolts and check belts and caps, a way to kill time and work off my anxiety while I wait for Reagan to arrive, but this piece of junk doesnât play nice. I shake my hand and blood trickles across my fingers. Cursing, I round the side of the car in search of a clean rag and stop in my tracks at the vision before me.
Reagan saunters my way in black shorts and a white button down rolled up at the elbows. Itâs the most casual Iâve seen her. Her black shoes kick at the gravel. What in the heck is she wearing on her feet? Theyâre not heels, but the shiny, leather slip-ons are still fancy.
Man, how did I ever let this girl get away? Even with those not suitable for the ranch shoes.
âHey.â She smiles. âYour mom said Iâd find you here. She didnât tell me you were dressed to impress.â
âUm, hey there.â I flash my bloody hand and peer down at my shirtless chest. âObviously, I didnât expect you to show up yet.â
Her eyes slowly trail up and down my naked torso before she finds my eyes. A flush spreads across her cheeks. I return her look with one of my own, skimming down her shapely legs.
âWe said noon, right?â
âIs it noon already?â I check my watch. Sure enough, it is. âDang, Percy is a pain in the ⦠fist, evidently. Let me grab a rag. Come in the garage.â
Reagan watches her step around the toolbox and follows me inside. âPercy, huh? Who named the car that?â
âRandi and Remy did.â I pull a rag from the worktable. âApparently they subscribed to Maisieâs naming convention. You know she leads their youth group now?â
âMais mentioned it, yeah.â She chuckles and slips her hands into the front pockets of her shorts. âLittle hard to picture her in that role. I can only imagine what sheâs teaching those girls.â
âProbably the devilâs work.â
Reagan rests her hip against the worktable, easing into being here, and laughs. âSounds about right.â
I dab at my fist and check the raw skin. Droplets of blood pop up on my middle finger, but the others are merely tender. Rummaging for the first-aid kit Dad keeps out here, I throw Reagan a glance over my shoulder. âSo, as nice as you lookââand Lord knows she looks amazingââI donât think youâre dressed for a day at the ranch. Did you not leave any Kansas-worthy clothing at your parentsâ house when you moved to the big city?â
âEverything I left is too small for me.â Her forehead creases. âYou think Iâd still fit into clothes from high school?â
I bite my tongue. No response will go over well here. Sheâs perfect. She was then, she is now. If her clothing doesnât fit her from back then itâs because sheâs curvier in all the right places, but sheâs still the same little Hobbit sheâs always been.
