Chapter 6

“Um. Yeah. Thanks.”

Mason’s smile grew. “Good. Finish that drink, and let’s head out. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do.”

Damn. Noah had made a mistake.

Mason laughed. Confused, Noah just watched him.

“You should have seen your face. You turned white as a sheet.” Mason let out a hearty laugh. “Relax. I’m not going to make you play twenty questions. Okay?”

Noah was an ass. Mason was kidding, and Noah was having a heart attack. Jesus.When had he gotten so freaked out by talking? Six months, three days and about twenty-two hours ago. Right before his life fell to shit.

They walked out of the airport and over to township parking to get Mason’s truck. It was a bumblebee yellow Dodge 1500 SRT, with a black racing stripe and custom chrome rims.

“This is an amazing ride,” Noah said, not holding back any of his awe.
