Emma was his friend. Emma was with Ethan. Emma was…


The amusement in Gideon’s low voice made Jesse snap back up, peering out through the translucent shower curtain to see him lounging against the door jamb. So wrapped up in his fantasy, he’d never even heard Gideon come in.

Jesse turned off the water and reached for a towel. “Fine. She apparently had the best time last night with Ethan.” Winding the towel around his waist, he stepped out of the shower. “I keep thinking of the girl who wanted to run away to Montana so she could have a little bit of peace, and I’m impressed with how far she’s come. And happy for her. I am.”
