A heron lands upstream.

The drizzle eases.

It’s so quiet. In spite of the weather, it’s great out here.

I get a bite.

It’s a trout.

A big one.

Hell yes.

The trout backflips and snaps the line.

Shit. Lost him. And the fly.

Ethan has better luck than me. I suspect he hooks the same fish I lost.

“The one that got away,” I complain.

Ethan grins. “This one had my name on it.”

I check the time; we should go.

“He’s big enough to eat. Can we take him?” Ethan says.

“We shouldn’t.”

He grimaces. “Just this once?”

I smile. “Let’s load up. And head back.”

“Elliot never showed,” Ethan says, as we climb into the truck.

“His business in town must have taken longer than he thought.”

Ethan nods, pensive. “He’s a good guy. I think my sister is pretty stuck on him.”

“I think he’s pretty stuck on her, too. Speaking of sisters, how are things with Mia?” I hope I

“Your sister is a real force of nature.” He shakes his head, amused by something. “But we’re still just friends.”

“I think she’d like to be more than

We both climb out of the truck to start unloading, as the garage door slowly rises to reveal Ana and Kate standing beside Elliot astride one of my KTM dirt bikes. They’re all staring at us. “Garage band?” I ask, as I saunter toward Ana. She’s a little flushed, as if

“Hi. Nice coveralls,” coos Ana.

“Lots of pockets. Very handy for fishing.” I remember how attractive but awkward she was when I was at the hardware store. Her cheeks grow rosier.

Oh, baby, we’ve come a long

From the corner of my eye, I see Kate roll her eyes, but I ignore her.

“You’re wet,” Ana breathes.

“It was raining. What are you guys doing in the garage?”

“Ana came to fetch some wood.”

Dude!

“I tried to tempt her to take

Fuck. No. In this weather? And enough of the smut talk, bro!

“She said no. That you wouldn’t

I slide my eyes

“Listen, I’m all for standing around discussing what Ana did next, but shall we go back inside?” Kate snaps. She picks up two logs and marches out of the garage. Elliot sighs and swings his leg off the bike and follows her.

I turn back to Ana. “You can ride a motorcycle?”

“Not very well. Ethan

“Leave it,

“What about the fish?” Ethan continues, his voice vaguely taunting.

“You caught a fish?” Ana asks.

No. “Not me. Kavanagh did.” I pout.

Ana starts

Bentley will deal with that,” I call. With a smug grin, Ethan takes it into the house. “Am I amusing you, Mrs. Grey?”

“Very much so. You’re wet. Let
