The next few days were all about pushing her limits for Tessa.
She'd seen Liam, but her brother hadn't said much about her
decision to skate again. In fact, he'd consciously encouraged
her, which had frankly surprised the hell out of her.
Micah had given up on the guesthouse and had bought
an overnight bag with him just the day before. She was
guessing either one of them wanted to miss an opportunity
to explore the heat that puzzled them. Tessa knew
she didn't. Now that she'd committed herself to live in the
