COLLIN

* * *

The next morning, I woke up bright and early and started making breakfast.

Ru wasn’t an early riser. She was more of a brunch girl.

I took advantage of the time by stretching my leg—the one in the cast—and to walking around like normal.

Last night, breaking the ice and being with her felt like old times. Old times that technically didn’t exist, as I’d never spent real time with her before last night. Not time that she was aware of.

I still needed to reel her in, and that part was fatiguing for my brain to grasp.

Thanks to the lockpass, I knew Ru well, and she wouldn’t respond well to being grabbed and kissed. I’d get a knee to the balls if I did that and she would feel guilty that my affection had shifted from her sister on to her.

She’d push me away out of respect for her sister.

I never should’ve led Liz on. It wasn’t right. But in all fairness, Liz had thrown herself at me.

I sighed as I picked up my phone and started to play Candy Crush.

Minutes before noon, the floor creaked overhead as Ru shuffled around. She skulked into the kitchen shortly after.

I pretended to be immersed in my game.

“He cooks, too. Poor, poor Liz,” Ru joked and I struggled to suppress my laughter.

“Good morning to you, too.” I had to bite my tongue not to call her peanut, the way Huck did.

“Let me guess, you’re an early riser.”

“Someone has to feed the chickens and milk the cows.”

“Haha, we don’t have animals on this farm. Except Liz’s lazy cat, but he seems to feed himself.”

I laughed. “Grab yourself a plate, please.”

“I’m not a breakfast person.” She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down across from me.

I looked at my watch. “It’s technically not breakfast anymore.”

She looked over her shoulder at the food. “Fine.” She got up, grabbed a plate, and dished it out.

She sat down and took a bite of her eggs and bacon. “What did you do with the eggs?”

“You don’t like it?”

“No, it’s yummy.”

“Then it’s my secret.”

“Don’t do that. I suck with breakfasts. I want to make my dad a nice breakfast for once. It’s always Liz this and Liz that. Don’t get me wrong; I love her to bits. But growing up in her shadow…” She shrugged. “I want to be great at something. One thing.”

“Ru, you are. You can see the future. She can’t.”

“Not that. I was talking about eggs. These eggs. Please, what do you do?”

“It’s grated cheese. That is what I do.”

“Grated cheese?” She looked at her eggs. “Like what, you melt it into the eggs?”

“Yep. It gives it that gouda taste, doesn’t it?”

“It’s yummy.” She took another bite.

“You’re welcome.”

“It’s good to see you in a better mood.”

I wrinkled my nose and huffed.

She laughed. “C’mon, it can’t be that bad.”

I gave her a skeptical glare.

“How bad?”

“Eight more weeks.”

“Ouch. At least it’s only eight more weeks. You’re welcome to swap with me, seeing that you’ve got the cooking thing down.
