The second Lydia took off her helmet, the rest of the group just stared, eyes wide and jaws nearly dropping.
Was she even real? She looked amazing, and somehow even cooler than the rumors made her out to be. No wonder everyone called her the motorcycle queen. She was famous for a reason, and not just in their own city.
Connor noticed how everyone was gawking at Lydia, so he pulled off his own helmet too.
Chris had kept it a secret that Connor would be coming tonight. Honestly, with Connor’s reputation, most of these guys would have chickened out if they’d known. He was practically a legend, and not the kind younger riders felt comfortable around.
Garnet and the others had been wondering who was sitting behind Lydia. The guy looked tall, but before they could even ask, he took off his helmet. For a second, it was like the air itself froze. The wind that usually whipped through the canyon just… stopped.
Everyone except Chris nearly lost their grip on their bikes out of pure shock.
“C...Connor! It’s really Connor!”
“Hi, Connor.”
“Hey, Connor.”
The younger guys scrambled off their bikes, stiff as boards, and bowed their heads in a panic, trying to sound as respectful as possible.
Connor gave them a cool nod and, glancing at Lydia, said, “This is Lydia. She’s with me.”
Immediately, the guys snapped to attention and greeted Lydia. “Hi, Lydia.”
“Hello, Lydia.”
“Connor and Lydia, you two are honestly perfect together. Like, made for each other.”
“Yeah, a total power couple.”
“Connor and Lydia, the dream team.”
“Connor and Lydia… hope you have a kid soon!”
That last one came from Kit, who was meeting Connor for the first time and looked like he’d just seen a ghost. He was so nervous his brain just short-circuited, and somehow, “hope you have a kid soon” flew out.
Thankfully, Lydia saved them all. “Let’s get started. Two laps around to warm up.”
Chris jumped at the chance. “Got it!”
Everyone else quickly got back on their bikes, confidence returning.
Chris noticed Connor wasn’t moving. He raised an eyebrow. “Bro, you coming with us?”
The thing was, if Connor joined, no one would be able to relax.
Connor seemed to get the message. “Is it me? Am I making you all nervous?” He sounded totally serious.
The others wanted to nod, but none of them dared.
Chris, thinking Connor was finally going to step aside, nodded right away. “Of course. You think too much of yourself if you think you don’t.”
Connor paused, looking thoughtful, then said, dead serious, “Then just take it slow. Safety first.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
