my question. His eyes are dark and while he’s not angry, I can tell he’s different. More shut down. “You ready to go?” he asks gruffly.
    “Yes.” I climb on the bike behind him and reach for the helmet. His hand stops mine.
    “Look, Allie,” he says, his breath coming out in a rush. “There’s a lot about me you’re not gonna like when you learn it.” He turns around and gives me a hard look. “So be really careful about what kind of questions you ask me. Be prepared for answers that might make you leave.” 
    “Leave what ? You? No. Never,” I say, staring back. My heart twists in my chest, but my eyes stay in place, right on his. “There is nothing you could tell me about yourself that would make me leave you.”
    He guns the engine and turns around, knees rising as he eases the bike forward. “You know what, Allie? Be really careful about making absolute statements like that.”
    “Absolute?” I shout over the engine as we gain speed.
    “The only absolute in life is that there aren’t any,” he shouts just as we take off and I can’t speak or hear.
    The problem with being on the back of a bike for a long ride with a guy you’re falling in love with but barely know is that all your private parts are jammed up against his ass and back.
    Plus, you can’t talk. At all. For the next ninety minutes I loop through everything Chase just said to me. Over and over. And over. My poor mind can’t take it. What does he mean? I already know he murdered a man to try to save his mom. I know Atlas deals drugs and Chase is part of it all. I’m sure he’s done awful things, and I watched him physically fight Frenchie and his own dad.  
    And he put a shotgun in Jeff’s face.
    That one didn’t actually bother me, though.
    Whatever secrets he has, he needs to know I won’t shame him. I won’t judge. He’s lived a hard life in an outlaw motorcycle gang. It’s not like I expect him to be perfect. The guy watched his mom get shot, was made to live a life on the road with his dad, and yet he’s smart, doesn’t seem to be an addict, he has his paramedic’s certificate—and he’s awesome. He takes care of me. We have a connection I don’t understand, but I don’t need to understand it. 
    I need to feel it.
    Some aspect of the air changes as the landscape turns more green. More hilly. My skin starts to feel fuzzy, and not just from the vibration of the motorcycle. It’s not yet dusk, but it’s getting there.
    At a stoplight on a long, two-way highway Chase turns and asks, “You okay? We’re an hour or two away. About to hit the major highways.”
    I grin. “Better than okay.” I squeeze him in a big hug from behind. “I can’t believe we’re almost at the ocean.”
    “I can’t believe you’ve never seen the ocean.”
    I can’t believe you really like me.

    So many houses. So many. As we get closer to L.A. the houses get closer together, the hills rolling out before us like a welcome mat. I’ve never seen roads this wide, or so many traffic lights. The houses are tight together and soon I see green. So much green. 
    The lawns are like something out of a movie. Do people really have green, thick lawns like this? I see sprinklers watering the lawns. Jeff never grows anything at our house. Says it’s a waste of water. Here on the edge of L.A. people seem to have plenty of water. It must be so expensive.
    And the houses are built into hills. Not small hills, either. The driveways are twisty and tipped up, and the homes are beautiful. Some are Spanish looking. Others are made of beautiful wood. Plenty have stucco on the outside. The yards are lush and manicured.
    I feel like such a hick. Like all I’ve known is my tiny little town. Heck, I’ve never seen a traffic light with a left turn arrow before. I can’t stop staring at it as Chase waits at a stoplight.
    The arrow comes on. Chase turns left. It’s as exciting as a traveling carnival in town and riding on the Ferris
