Asher didn’t move.

Didn’t speak.

Didn’t blink, even, for a second—because if he did, he was pretty sure she’d vanish again. Not physically. But in that other way. The way she slipped behind...

Oh, she was dangerous.

Not in the obvious way. Not in the fights-in-bars or drives-too-fast or carries-a-flask-under-her-coat kind of way (though honestly, with Josie, any of those were still...

He laughed.

Couldn’t help it.

Not the loud kind. Not the performative kind. Just the real, hit-dead-center kind that started low in his chest and worked its way up until his mouth betrayed him...

He took the Pop-Tart like it didn’t mean everything.

Like the fact that she accepted the offer—and then handed one back—wasn’t the most grounded kind of miracle he’d seen all week.

Because...

He grinned.

Couldn’t help it.

Because that? That dry-ass firecracker of a greeting, the one-liner laced in barbed wire and honey?

That was an invitation.

Not to lean. Not officially. But...

Of course it’d be her.

Asher clocked the Charger before he even hit the edge of Crescent Green—low-slung, unapologetic, catching the sun like it knew it belonged to someone who didn’t beg for...

Asher didn’t say anything at first.

Didn’t move.

Didn’t breathe, maybe.

He just stood there, like every piece of him had been hit with something he saw coming and still wasn’t ready for.

Asher didn’t flinch.

Didn’t shove his hands in his pockets or crack a joke to fill the air. He just stood there, sunlight on his shoulders, engine grease scent in his lungs, and Josie Rhodes in...

Asher didn’t move at first.

But because that—that look in her eyes, that breath of vulnerability wrapped in flannel and...

Asher froze.

Not like he was scared—like he felt it. Every syllable. Every breath behind it. Like those three words reached down inside his chest and rewired something permanent.

He didn’t move.

Didn’t smile.

Didn’t gloat.

He felt her before he saw her.

Not in that obvious way—arms around his waist, breath at the back of his neck—but in the way her silence sank into him. The way her presence settled low in his gut...

The keys were still warm in his hand when she said it.

No more truths.

Asher couldn’t breathe.

Not in a bad way—not in the panic, sharp-edge, can’t-catch-your-lungs kind of way. More like he’d just walked into some pocket of stillness too full of meaning to move...

Asher stared at her like she’d just lobbed a live grenade in his lap and dared him not to flinch.

God, she was good.

Not just quick—with her mouth, with her timing—but precise. She didn’t throw...

Didn’t crack wise.
