Secrets in the Lyrics (23 page)

“Emmett, man, what the hell’s wrong with you?”  Jace asks with attitude.  Then, he
looks over his shoulder and sees her.  “Don’t even think about it.”

“She’s grown up… a lot,” I say, and Jace smirks.

“Yeah, she has,” he says, trying to imply other things, but I know better.  That’s
not the Raegan I knew.

As she makes her way to our table, I ignore her and wait for Jace to introduce us. 
He introduces me like I’m the new kid on the block, but I’m not.  She realizes what
Jace is doing, and lets him know that she knows exactly who I am, and that feels damn
good to know.

While I finish my lunch, Jace begins to give Raegan a hard time about working on the
farm.  He just doesn’t get it, but I guess he wouldn’t, considering he hasn’t had
to work hard a day in his life.  He just gets pissed and leaves.  He doesn’t deserve
her, and it’s obvious.  That’s when Raegan does the unthinkable.  She gives me a means
to get close to her by way of Cole.

“Yeah, Cole’s pickin’ me up this afternoon.”  Then, she offers to let me ride with
her to the farm, and there is no way in hell I’m not.
