Sam didn’t look at him right away.

She couldn’t.

Not when her throat was doing that tight, traitorous thing it only did when feelings crept up on her like a goddamn sea turtle in combat boots....

Sam Carroll wasn’t the kind of girl who melted.

But something about the way he said it—being...

Sam didn’t smile right away.

She wanted to—God, he made her want to—but it was too much. Too honest. Too loud inside her chest. So instead, she looked down at their hands, at the ridiculous pinky...

That pinky.

That dumb, quiet, totally-not-a-big-deal pinky brushing against hers like it wasn’t the most criminally intimate thing he’d ever done. Not the kiss...

Sam didn’t turn around when he said it.

Didn’t need to.

She heard it in his voice—that soft, bone-deep sincerity that made her ribs ache in weird, unfamiliar ways. Like her heart was trying to...

She felt it.

Not just the kiss—though God, that kiss had the kind of heat that could start brushfires—but the way his hand tightened around hers. The way he said her name like it had weight. Like...

Sam didn’t answer right away.

Sam didn’t usually let moments get quiet.

Quiet meant stillness.

Stillness meant thinking.

And thinking? Thinking meant feelings—and she wasn’t in the business of handling those without...

Sam Carroll was many things.

Unhinged. Sunburnt. Possibly a menace to maritime law. Definitely the reason Officer Buzzkill had a new forehead vein twitching on command.

But lazy?

Sam didn’t answer him at first.

Mostly because she was busy picturing the tomato heist in vivid cinematic detail—and hating how much she loved it.

Of course Jess Montgomery would pick something...

Sam blinked up at him—
all messy hair and slushie-sticky skin and knees scraped from a traffic cone battle—and for once, she forgot to be the one who spoke first.

Because—
