“Nothing. It’s your life.”
Damn right it was. And I wasn’t going to entertain anyone else’s opinions on it.
“How long have you been here?”
“Pretty much since finishing school,” he said, shrugging.
“So you got the hazing from all the dads and uncles.”
“Yeah, fun shit,” he said, shaking his head. “It’s all worth it, though.”
“Adrenaline junkie?” I asked, figuring that was the main reason the guys wanted to do it, other than the good money and bragging rights.
“Not really. Some of the guys thrive on it. I just really loved growing up in the club. Always wanted to be a part of it. And Fallon is diversifying a lot. He’s having me open my own range.”
“Range. As in shooting range?” I clarified.
“Yep.”
“Right. Because your dad is like a sharpshooter and shit, right?”
“Right.”
“What?” I asked.
“Depends. What are your feelings on being humble?” he asked, shooting me a smirk.
“It for chumps. If you’re good, you’re good. No reason to say play it down.”
“Alright. Then I have been showing up my old man since I was fifteen.”
“No shit. Good for you. Are you excited about being, you know, a business owner?” I asked, feeling a bit like a little girl around a big, mature grown-up. One with plans for the future and all sorts of responsibilities. While I’d been avoiding both for so long.
“Yeah. So what have you been doing since high school?” he asked.
“Traveling,” I told him.
“Just traveling?” he asked, eyes a little more keen than I expected from him.
“And doing some odd jobs,” I told him.
“Odd jobs,” he repeated. “The kind of jobs your old man is known for?”
“My old man is retired,” I told him.
“Sure sure,” Seth said, nodding. “You ever think how long the nights are gonna be in here?” Seth asked, looking back toward the beds.
“Why does that sound like you are going to make it your mission to make sure we don’t have anything at night to occupy our time?” I asked as he made his way to the door.
“Because you know me pretty well, it seems,” he said, shooting me a smirk over his shoulder before heading out.
I took another minute to calm my heart before exploring the storage cabinets that looked like they would have plenty of room. I didn’t have much. I was accustomed to living out of duffle bags or large backpacks. But it would be nice to have room to add a couple more items to my wardrobe.
The bathroom was nothing to write home about.
You walked in to a double vanity with a huge mirror. And off to each side were small rooms with toilets and stall showers.
So at least there was some semblance of privacy.
