“It’s okay.”

“Let me walk you to your car just in case Josh is still here.”

“Okay.” She smiled and stood. “You’re a great guy, Gabe. I hope it works out for you.”

“Thank you.”

I grabbed Liz’s hand and laced our fingers. Autumn was long gone and Liz needed this if Josh was spying on us. “I’ll handle your payment with Saddles & Rack, but call me if it doesn’t work out with Josh and I’ll get my buddy to do a better job.” She handed me her phone and I entered my number for her.

I jogged to my Yukonin hopes Autumn would be waiting for me at home.
