“Sounds like her loss, because you might be the coolest kid I’ve ever met.”
She doesn’t use a sad voice, or a baby voice, she just talks to him like a normal human being. “Fucking hell,” I curse under my breath because she just practically hired herself.
All thick arms and broad chest and furrowed brow. Dirty boots. Muscular thighs. Cowboy porn with a frown.
I’ll take a boozy brunch with my bestie and a dirty book in bed by eight for a thousand, Alex.
I heave the suitcase out just in time to watch them walk hand in hand into my house, and for some reason,
I stop and watch. Unable to look away. Lots of people have walked through that front door. But somehow this feels different.
“Beg.” “Pardon me?” “You heard me.” Her lips don’t even twitch. She’s not joking at all. “Beg.”
“Eaton. You grumpy motherfucker. You just laughed,” I blurt. “Yeah, Red. I did.”

“It’s two people who were both a little lost until they ended up on the same path and walked together for a while.”
“I love you, Cade,” I murmur against his chest. “I love you too, Red.” Then he just holds me tighter, and I hope he never lets go.
“You wear the hat, you ride the cowboy.”
And I realize in that moment maybe I am heartless after all, because the beautiful girl with the copper hair grinning back at me right now is the one who stole it.
