“I’m not a mind reader. If he doesn’t feel like he’s a priority for me, he needs to tell me. How am I supposed to change my behavior if I don’t even realize I’m behaving badly?” A groan slips out.
Turning back to Tucker, I give him a reassuring grin. “Baby, I didn’t spend three years at Harvard Law to let my husband rot in jail on my honeymoon. Watch your woman work.”
And then we had a kid and”—I groan—“I love her, I really do, but she’s a full-time job.”
Kids ARE a full time job
“I know you do,” he interrupts, and it’s his turn to groan. “You always ask, and I love you for it. This is on me. I’m the one who always brushes it off because I don’t want to stress you out.”
“Your happiness shouldn’t be brushed off, Tuck.” He shrugs. “Your happiness is more important to me. Can’t help it, that’s just how I feel. Making you and Jamie happy is what makes me happy.”
“Not always.” I lift a brow. “You said you want me to make us a priority, remember? Well, that’s what I’m going to do from now on. But you need to promise to be more honest about wh...

“You’re incredible,” he growls. “You’re just saying that because you almost became someone’s prison boyfriend.” “I’m too pretty to be locked up.”
“And just so you know, no matter what, I’m always gonna be there for you. I’ve got your back.” “I know. And I’ve got yours. I love you. Always.”
“I thought about our conversation the other night,” Kevin tells Sabrina as we invite them in. “I hope you won’t mind, but I did a bit of checking up on you.” “Checking up?”
“Your Harvard transcripts. Spoke with your professors. Who had a lot to say, in fact. A complete background check, of course. We’re very thorough.”
“I talked it over with the partners at the firm, and we’d like you to come work with us.” Her eyes widen. “I’m sorry—what?”
“We’d like you to come work for Ellison and Kahn, my firm in Manhattan.” “You’re offering me a job?” It’s rare to catch Sabrina James off guard, but right now she looks like she’s struggling to formulate thoughts.
“There’s a spot available on my team. Representing wrongful convictions. It’s challenging work, and not for the faint-hearted. But the hours are manageable, and you’d have s...

“Before you answer,” Bruce pipes up, “there is one more thing. I’m looking to expand my fitness brand into brick-and-mortar. Give my online regimen a physical presence.”
“Gyms?” I guess, all the while wondering how Sabrina and I possibly fit into this. He nods.
“One, to start. Prime real estate in Manhattan. All I need is a partner with a modest investment but who understands how to get a small business off the ground, market it, and make it pr...

He grins widely. “From what I’ve seen, you’d make a hell of a chief operating officer.” “You can’t...

“I’m not much for business,” Bruce says, shrugging. “But I know people. I like you, John Tucker. I think the two of us might do good stuff together. If you’re up for the challenge.”
“Can we take some time?” Sabrina asks. “We have to consider Jamie. And the bar.” “Of course.” Kevin offers his hand. “Talk it over. You have our numbers.”
“Is this seriously happening?” Sabrina stares at me, eyes sparkling. It’s maybe the happiest I’ve seen her since we left Boston.
“My mom would go anywhere to follow her granddaughter,” I assure Sabrina when she worries about letting strangers babysit Jamie. Mom moved to Boston from Texas to be closer to us. No reason she wouldn’t go to New York.
“And Kevin said the hours were manageable. Flexible.” There’s an excited chord in Sabrina’s voice. “So we might not even need that much babysitting. I’d be able to see you guys a lot more than if I took one of the Boston jobs.”
“And I wouldn’t have to spend any evenings at the bar. I assume the gig with Bruce...

The least I can do to watch his dreams come true is suffer one night in a fancy dress and pretend everything’s normal. And with Grace in Paris visiting her mom for the summer, I’m pulling double duty as the arm candy.
The team got on some superstition kick about not shaving when they were on a winning streak to clinch the playoffs. Garrett looks hot with some scruff, but this went beyond that. He wouldn’t even allow himself to keep the damn thing tidy.
