and I was starting to see a pattern. A pattern I didn’t like.
I’d never really been the kind of person to have a lot of girlfriends, always being a loner who was more worried about school and work than fun.
And online dating at my size? I’d rather help my mom weed her massive garden or... be single for the rest of my life.
I was built like a brick shit house.
My dad loves this shit 😂 It’s his favorite phrase and favorite kind of woman.

“In case I need anything?”
On the second landing, I turned myself around and marched back up the stairs, knocking on Tyler Griffen’s door.
But when I opened the door and saw Hen there, my mind went crazy, just like when I’d first seen her moments ago.
but damn was she something to look at.
“Texas Roadhouse has nothing on my dad’s grill.”
“So, what do you say?”
“If it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me,”
“Mind if I change?”
And if there was one thing I learned from my sister, Liv, it was that if you didn’t pass the girlfriend test, you wouldn’t be making much progress with the kind of girl that mattered.
“A ride would be nice,” I said, selfishly wanting more time to talk to her. “I’ll be down in a sec.”
I wanted to get to know her better—for work.
“It’s unlocked.”
“You know my dad would have my head for not getting your door.”
I was grinning like a damn fool. It had been a long time since I’d bantered with a woman I wasn’t related to.
then set it face up in the console. Interesting. She either wanted me to see a text from some other guy or... she had nothing to hide.

“I’m excited to build that with you. Especially knowing you’ll be the one in charge of the new building.”
