With a step back, I shake my head. “You should go home. I’m sure it’s been a long day.”

“What are you doing tonight? I saw Miles on his way out. He said you were going to the Cove.”

Annoyance flares to life inside me.Dammit, Miles.

“That’s the plan.”

“I was there with the girls last night, but I could?—”

“No. It’ll just be me, Miles, and Matt. I don’t plan to stay long. I gotta be up early tomorrow.” Head lowered, I head to Dad’s office to lock up. Remi follows closely, her flip-flops slapping softly against the concrete floor.

“Are you sleeping with someone?”

“No.” I snag the keys hanging inside the office door and shuffle to the entrance.

“Then why are you being so cold? We used to fuck all the time, even when we were broken up.”

“Because, like I said, it’s time for both of us to move on.” I step outside and hold the door open for her.

With a huff, she stalks out, but she stops beside me and crosses her arms. She’s fuming, her breathing quick and ragged.

My mood was already shit, so I don’t want to put up with her drama. I rein in my frustration, lock the door, and turn to her. “Bye. It was nice to see you.”

“Uh-huh.”

Hands hidden in my pockets, I head to my car.

“Just so we’re clear,” Remi calls across the parking lot, “I won’t give up on you. But I’ll give you space and time, because you’re the one for me.”

Shaking my head, I bite back the rebuttal clawing its way up my throat. Arguing with her is the last thing I need at the end of this long ass day.

Shower. A simple fucking shower. That’s all I need.

A notificationfrom my group chat “The First Rule of Fight Club”—the stupid-ass name Matt picked—pops up on my screen. The guys want to know when I’ll be at the Cove.

Me:

I’ll be there in 40

Matt:

What’s taking so long?

Miles:

We’ll be drunk by the time you get here

Me:

That should be fun, since I won’t be drinking

Matt:

Buzzkill, but one point for being DD

Miles:

The girls tonight are on another level. If you don’t get your ass here ASAP, you’re gonna miss out
