“That’s true,” Gemma agrees. “But still.”
Noah hangs his head as he walks back and slides inside. “Yeah, she hates me.”
I turn and face him. “Give her time.”
He scrunches his nose. “Moretime? How much more time should I give her?”
“Give her space,” Gemma clarifies as we leave. “She’ll come around.”
“Or here’s an idea…” I arch a brow as I pull onto the street. “She needs help on the new house, and Noah just so happens to be pretty good at fixing shit.”
“Katie will never hire me,” he retorts.
“She works during the day. She can’t say no if she doesn’t know…”
“Noooo…” Gemma shakes her head. “She’ll kill you for sure.”
“Actually, that’s not a horrible idea,” Jerry blurts out.
“She might think it’s romantic,” Belinda adds.
“Absolutely not. She wants to do it all herself.” Gemma shakes her head, crossing her arms.
“Well, if she won’t give me a chance to talk, then I’ll show her how sorry I am instead,” Noah decides. “Start fixin’ things little by little until she notices. She won’t be able to slam the door when I’m already inside the house.”
“This is seriously a bad idea. How are you guys agreeing with this?” Gemma glances over her shoulder, furrowing her brows.
“I’ve pushed her away long enough, Gem. Let me do this,” Noah begs. “I have to win her friendship back.”
Gemma’s shoulders slump as she blows out a breath. “Alright, but on one condition…” She pauses. “She must never know I knew about this plan. Got it?”
Noah smiles victoriously. “Deal.”
I can’t help but grin because it’s about to geta lotmore interesting in Lawton Ridge.
