When Gage opened his door at Rocky's knock, he was momentarily struck speechless by the sight of her standing there in a simple blue and gray dress that touched the floor and leather jacket. She was easily becoming one of his favorite things to look at.

The drive to the restaurant was quick. Hand-in-hand, they followed the hostess through the crowded dining room to their table. He opted to sit to her left instead of across from her. They discussed the menu and what was good to eat, eventually ordering enough food for them to share to feed a small army.

Propping his elbow on the table, he rested his chin on his fist, once again taking in the vision in next of him. Rocky’s long, blue-black hair hung straight around her shoulders and tumbled down her back. Her mesmerizing gray eyes had a sprinkling of sparkly eye shadow and her cupid’s bow lips were adorned with a pale pink gloss.

“So how’d you get into fighting?" she asked, mirroring his pose. "I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say in an interview.”

“My mom.” He reached out to stroke the delicate skin on the inside of her wrist while he spoke.

“Really?”

“Yeah.” He couldn’t help but smile at the memory. “When Wyatt and I were younger, we were…rambunctious.”

“You mean you were hella crazy and your moms didn’t know what to do with you?” she asked knowingly.

He touched the tip of his nose with his finger. “Exactly.”

“Vince and Deck were the same way.” Her lips took on a devilish curl. “Though I can’t say the girls and I were much better. Beck was always convincing us to do all kinds of crazy things. It’s how she earned her text handle.”

He'd learned all about the group’s crazy text handles last night when Jase and Vince went through his phone updating his contacts. He was still coming to terms with the fact the guy he spent the day being jealous over was inserting himself as a friend, but he was also learning that you didn’t have much choice when it came to Rocky and her friends.

“But that’s not important here. You get to hear about my crazy every day at the gym. I want to hear about you for a change. So come on, tell me.”

“Okay.” He dropped an arm around the back of her chair, scooting in closer. “So sometime in middle school, our moms were looking for anything that could help burn off some of the excess energy we had.”

“What did they find?”

“First, it was karate. Then for me it evolved into Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu. And for Wyatt, it was parkour.”

“Parkour?” Her eyes sparkled. “Like Jackie Chan scaling buildings and stuff?”

“Yup.” He couldn’t help but laugh remembering how often Wyatt got screamed at for demonstrating what he learned in class at home. He was pretty sure his aunt had regretted ever enrolling him in the class.

“I have a feeling the class was one of the reasons he became a firefighter.”

“That’s amazing. But what about
