Summer's Pov

Ruby's idea of a party for two was apparently identical to her idea of a party for twenty.

She had music going before we even changed out of our clothes, something loud and familiar bouncing off the walls of her big empty house, and she was already spinning around her room pulling pajamas out of her drawer and throwing a pair at my face.

"Change," she said. "We're getting comfortable and we're never leaving this house tonight."

"I was already comfortable."

"More comfortable." She p

  • My Hockey Bully Stepbrother    Chapter 94

    Summer's PovI saw them before he saw me.Or maybe he did see me and didn't say anything. I don't know. All I know is that one second I was standing there half listening to the guy beside me say something about the band and the next second my eyes found Crew across the crowd like they had been looking for him without asking my permission.He had his hand on her waist.I looked away so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash.The guy beside me was still talking. I smiled at the right moment and said something back and my face was doing everything it was supposed to do while the rest of me was somewhere completely different.Ruby was next to me handling her own situation, some guy who had been working very hard for the last twenty minutes and getting approximately nowhere, and I was grateful for the noise of it all because it gave me somewhere to put my eyes that wasn't Crew and Brianna.I didn't look back over.I didn't.Okay, once. Briefly. And they were still there, still close, and Bria

    Crew's PovI couldn't sleep until almost three.It wasn't the planning, although there was plenty of that. Calls to make, logistics to sort, people to loop in. I had texted Kayla separately and she had responded in approximately four seconds with three exclamation points and a voice note I had to turn the volume down for. Tyler was handling the decorations with Ruby's input. Gray had taken the food. I was handling the venue and the guest list and making sure everything landed exactly right.I sat at my desk with my notebook and drew up a rough plan and then a better one and then a third version because the second one had a timing problem with the airport run and I needed Sunday to flow without gaps.Brianna's flight was early afternoon. Summer was coming back in the evening. There was a window and I was going to use it.I knew Summer was at Ruby's without having to check. I had her location from weeks ago, from the night everything with the stalker happened, and it had just stayed the

    Summer's PovRuby's idea of a party for two was apparently identical to her idea of a party for twenty.She had music going before we even changed out of our clothes, something loud and familiar bouncing off the walls of her big empty house, and she was already spinning around her room pulling pajamas out of her drawer and throwing a pair at my face."Change," she said. "We're getting comfortable and we're never leaving this house tonight.""I was already comfortable.""More comfortable." She pointed at the pajamas now on my lap. "Put them on."I put them on.Ruby's room was warm and cluttered in the best way, fairy lights strung up along the headboard, photos taped to the mirror, a dozen half-finished bottles of nail polish lined up on her dresser like little soldiers. It smelled like her perfume and something faintly floral and being in it felt like stepping back into something I hadn't realized I'd been missing.She declared we were making food first and dragged me downstairs to th

    Summer's PovRuby was standing in the middle of my room with one hand on her hip and the other holding my packed bag, looking at me like she had just finished a masterpiece."Summer," she said. "You look so beautiful right now I genuinely cannot handle it. If I walk into a room with you tonight every single man in there is going to look at you and I am going to be standing right there picking out the best one.""Ruby.""I'm serious. This is my purpose. This is what I was put on this earth to do."I laughed and it came out easy, the kind that started in your chest and just happened without any effort, and I realized I had missed this so much. Not just Ruby but this specific feeling of laughing at something that wasn't that funny but was exactly funny enough."Are you ready?" she said."Yes.""Good." She lifted my bag with a dramatic little bow. "My queen does not carry her own luggage tonight. I am making up for lost time.""You are so embarrassing.""You missed this.""I did," I admit

    Summer's Pov I stayed out longer than I planned.It started as a quick stop, just one or two things, and then I was walking through the store and the money was sitting in my account and for the first time in my life I thought, why not. I had never really shopped for myself before. Not properly. My mom had always been practical about money in a way that made me practical too, even when there wasn't a reason to be anymore.I bought things I actually wanted and it felt strange and good at the same time.By the time James dropped me back at the house the sun was already going low and the driveway was empty. No Crew's car. No Gray's car. Just the quiet house sitting there with all its lights off.I stood at the door with my bags and looked at the empty driveway for a moment.I almost called Crew.The impulse was there before I could stop it, that automatic reach, and then I remembered the cafe corridor and his hand in Brianna's and good night Summer said from across a desk with nothing be

    Crew's Pov Ruby's plan was not bad.I sat in the car after she left and turned it over in my head and the bones of it were solid. Surprise party, gifts, get Summer out of the house so everything could be set up, bring her back to something she wasn't expecting. Simple and clean. Summer had mentioned about never actually celebrating her birthday.That last part sat with me more than I expected it to.Eighteen years and nobody had thrown her a proper birthday. Not once.I drove home and changed out of my uniform and went to find Gray.His tutor was just leaving when I got upstairs. I knocked and pushed the door open and Gray was at his desk, sketchbook open, pencil in hand, still in his school clothes which meant he had gone straight to the session the second he got in.He looked up."You're still in uniform," he said. "That means something happened.""It can wait two seconds." I leaned against the doorframe. "Why don't you come to school? Genuinely. You just stay here and get tutored
