Well that hadn’t gone exactly how I’d planned. I watched her walk away from me and back toward the party before I stood up and gave the trunk we were sitting on a good kick.

“Fuck,” I seethed. What had I said that had spooked her? It seemed like we were really getting somewhere. It felt so good to have my lips on hers again and to hold that sweet little body of hers on my lap. It was more than just the physical pull I had to her though. Sitting there with her and talking, hearing her laugh and giving me a hard time for the move I pulled on Beau. Airing how we felt about the past and the mistakes we’d made, it was everything about her that made me want her, including our history, which was the apparent deal breaker in this entire ordeal.

Did she want me to give up racing and move back to Halstead for her? I wanted to say I was ready to do that, but how could I? I’d given up everything for my career and to just let it go was not something I could do without some serious thought. Thinking about the wounded look on her face when she stood up and walked away from me had me seriously considering parking my bike for good, I would have given anything in that moment to have her back in my arms, but I couldn’t be impulsive. Look where being impulsive had gotten me with Nora. Had I known that ending things with her back then would have had both of us feeling completely miserable, I definitely would have thought it through a little better.

I gave her a few minutes to get back to the track before I headed that way. I should have just stormed after her and made her say in front of everyone that she still loved me, but the idea of causing her anymore heartache that night was enough to keep me from causing a scene.

“Where you been?” Hoyt asked when I found him chatting with Brett and Georgia. No signs of Nora anywhere. She’d probably already left with her asshat boyfriend. I couldn’t stomach the thought of her being with him. The way he’d kissed her in front of me and every other damn person at the party earlier had me seeing red. I was relieved when I saw her storm off. A little bit of that spitfire girl I’d fallen in love with a decade ago peeked out from behind that responsibly, well-adjusted adult facade she was so good at wearing now.

“Needed to clear my head,” I said, grabbing a beer from the cooler next to them.

“You mean you were scared to show your face after Beau smoked you?” Brett teased.

“Something like that,” I mumbled, before taking a drink. I wasn’t in the mood for joking around. I was in the mood to drink and try to figure out what exactly happened back in those woods.

“My sister was clearing her head too,” Georgia piped up.
