CHAPTER 10. At the gym

  They made their way down to the weight rooms where they were able to do some stretches.

  “How do you feel about adding some swimming in say a week’s time?”

  “Sure, I don’t mind. You’re the boss. I’m just doing as I’m told.”

  “Right, I’m making Sunday our weigh in and measurements.”

  Elsa stopped stretching. “Why? Can’t we do them today?”

  “We could, but I’d rather do it before the next week. Each week we can start afresh.”

  “Ugh, I don’t know if I can get away.”

  “We’re ten, twenty minutes apart? We can figure something out.”

  “I don’t want my mother to find out.”

  “She won’t. I’m good at keeping a secret. Besides, we can always say we’re working on a project together.”

  Elsa started to stretch up and then down, touching her toes.

  Noah released a noise, and she glanced behind her to make sure he was okay.

  “What’s wrong?” she asked.

  “Nothing, I’m all good. You continue your stretches.”
