“A habit? Seriously?” I called after him. “Then maybe don’t force me to go out to a fancy restaurant with you and your family. I didn’t really have much of a choice in my attire.”
He didn’t reply, he got back into the backseat of the car, slamming the door shut behind him. led and marched to my front door. I reached into my bag to grab my set of keys. Unlocking the door, I pushed it open to peer into my dark house, sighing
I turned back to see that the car was still there; he never drove away until I was securely in the house. It was one of the things I appreciated about Gavin Landry; it made me think that maybe he did care.
As soon as I got inside, the car drove off and I let out the breath I hadn’t known I was holding. My entire body trembled, and I held his coat tightly around me, inhaling deeply.

“Defense was one of the things my father taught me,” he explained with a shrug. “He also said I needed to be prepared for anything.”
“Well, he’s a wise man,” I said, grabbing a water bottle from the ice bucket I set out for our training session. I handed Matt a water and then grabbed one for myself.

He stared down at the water bottle, fiddling mindlessly with the cap.
“It would be nice,” he murmured. “But I get that he’s busy…”
