her.
    An hour later, they had all cleaned up the kitchen, taken showers, and were eating their cold food. Miracle of all miracles, no one griped about how badly it tasted; they were too busy still giggling over their water fight.
    Harper glanced at the two of them, wondering if this was an appropriate time to express her feelings. She’d never felt as close to the two of them as she did in this moment. “I’ve never had a water fight before,” she admitted as she took a bite of the grilled cheese Cash had made for her.
    “It’s been a long time for us.” Cash laughed. “I can’t remember it real clear, but Remy and I have definitely thrown down before.”
    “It was fun.” She laughed, thinking again of the scene as she’d entered the apartment. “I love y’all,” she blurted out, hoping it didn’t sound as stupid to them as it sounded to her own ears.
    Remy grinned over at her. “Duh, Harp, we love you too.”
    Cash didn’t say anything, and she desperately wanted him to, but when she glanced over at him, there was a warm look in his eyes. He slowly chewed on the bite of food in his mouth, and when he swallowed, he took a drink and finally spoke. “We sure do.”
    In that moment, Harper Stillwell almost cried.

Chapter Nine

    H arper cranked up the heat in her car. The November day was much cooler than normal, and she was glad that she’d worn her hoodie and boots. Traffic was heavy as she headed out towards Walker’s Wheels. Since she’d admitted her feelings to Cash and Remy, she’d tried very hard to back up her words with action.
    Glancing over at the bag that held food from a local fast food restaurant, she hoped Cash would take this as a goodwill gesture. She hadn’t even brought him lunch before, and she had noticed he’d taken off without grabbing the leftovers she’d packed for him the night before.
    As she finally approached the turn-off, her heart beat steadily against her chest. It was stupid really, that she felt this nervous about surprising him at work. Everyone knew they had been together at one point, and no one other than her probably even thought that it meant anything. This did to her. It solidified in her mind that she was turning the corner, she was allowing herself to feel things she’d never allowed herself to feel before.
    Parking the car, she grabbed the bag and got out of the driver’s seat. It took her a minute to adjust to the temperature change and to find where Cash was working, but as soon as she did, she quickly made her way over to where he was.

    “Look alive.” Tyler knocked Cash on the arm with his elbow. “Your lady is here.”
    Cash really wished he would stop calling her that, because they didn’t have labels on anything, and he was afraid if she heard the guys referring to them being together she’d get scared and run. There was only so far and so fast he could chase her, and he had a feeling she could run faster and farther than he could. He played it cool, purposely not looking up from the car he was working on for at least a minute. When he finally did, his eyes met hers, and he grinned at her across the parking lot.
    She hadn’t ever looked so good to him. She wore a hoodie over the upper half of her body and tight jeans on the bottom, tucked into boots. They made her legs look a mile long, and he thought that maybe he liked her covered up just as much as he liked her with nothing on at all. There was something erotic about it, the fact that he knew exactly what she looked like with her clothes off.
    She offered him a wave as he approached.
    “What’s going on?” he asked, stepping out from behind the car he worked on. He made sure to clean his hands with the rag he had sitting on the quarter panel of the car; he needed to get himself under control, and it gave him a good excuse.
    “You forgot your lunch,” she said when she got close enough. She thrust the bag towards him. “I knew you’d be hungry, so I brought you something.”
    He
