“That’s what I thought,” she replies, liking my answer. I laugh. Damn, I’m going to miss her. What the hell am I going to do with myself?

Guess I can go riding, and when she’s done, we can fuck like rabbits and then head home to pack her shit.

Kat is moving in with me.

Fucking finally.

Chapter Thirty

Kathrine

Springtime sunshine warms my skin after I lie down on the lounge chair. I rode over on the golf cart that Bryce always has at his house.

Is it my house, too, now? Or is the apartment in the city the only one that’s mine?

That’s a stupid thing to think.

None of his houses are mine. He owns them. I’ll just be living there. I don’t like that thought. Independence is something I’ve always worked hard for, but as I bring the cool beer to my lips and Michelle climbs out of the pool, I tell myself that right now I’m not going to think about rules and the right way of things.

I’m going to enjoy the sun and get to know this girl that Jace has fallen for.

“So, where did you grow up?” I ask as she grabs the towel beside her chair and dries her reddish-brown hair.

“In Atlanta. I’m a city girl through and through.”

I smile. “Cool. I moved there when I was eighteen.”

“Really?” she asks, grabbing the suntan lotion. “By yourself?”

I nod. “Yep. Just me.”

“That must have been scary.”

“It was. But I met my best friend, Claire, the same day, so it wasn’t scary for long.”

“You two seem really close,” she says.

“We are. She’s more like my sister.”

“That’s nice. I had a close friend like that in college.”

“What happened?” I ask, flicking a bug away from my arm.

“Grew apart. Different career paths.”

“What is it you do again?” I take another sip of my beer as she picks hers up from the cement. I’m sure Jace has told us, but I can’t for the life of me remember.

“Librarian.”

“That’s right.” I remember now. “You’ll have to come by my shop, Mugs & Books, and check out my collection. I support Indie authors.”

“Really? That’s cool. So, you sell their books there?”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll definitely come by and check it out.” She drinks from her bottle before placing it on her cheek. Even in the spring it’s hot and I know summer will be scorching this year, but what’s new?

It’s Georgia.
