Peace growls. “Olivia!”

She bats her eyelashes at him. “What? I’m not braless. I wasn’t wearing this bra. It’s merely a prop.”

Brody ushers me to one of the golf carts. On the seat is a bright pink helmet with the word ‘Pixie’ in gold letters on it. He lifts the helmet and places it on my head before buckling the strap. “You good?”

I wiggle my hands. “I need gloves.”

He chuckles as he picks the pink gloves up from the seat and hands them to me. He kisses my cheek before moving to his golf cart and putting on a black helmet with the word ‘Dork’ engraved on it.

“Are the riders ready?” Olivia shouts the question while lifting her red bra in the air.

I situate myself in the cart and switch it on while Brody revs his engine.

“Ready, set, ride!” Olivia throws her bra onto the ground and I slam the accelerator down to the floor.

The crowd cheers as we pass them. It’s less than a mile before we reachElectric Vibes.I don’t have much time to win this race, but I’m determined to beat Brody.

“I’m winning! I’m winning!” Brody shouts as he pulls into the lead.

We’re barreling straight toward the town square. If I can force him onto the square, he’ll be disqualified and I’ll win. Mwah-ha-ha!

I keep up with him until we reachClove’s Coffee Corner,which is the last business before the square. Since I’m on the right side, it would make sense for me to veer to the right to go around the square. I veer left instead and cut Brody off.

“Hey! You’re cheating,” he yells as he tries to keep control of his golf cart.

“Nobody said I couldn’t cheat,” I yell back.

“You’re in trouble now,” he says as he chases me around the left side of the square past the library and toward Eden’s plant shop.

“I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Unfortunately, it isn’t long before we’re back on the straight of Main Street racing next to each other. Shit.Electric Vibesis only five stores away. I have to do something or I’ll lose this race. And I am not losing.

I swerve to the right toward Brody’s golf cart. He swears as he maneuvers out of range. He’s crazy if he thinks I’m done. This race is officially bumper golf cart now.

I aim straight for his golf cart. He has no choice. He either has to let me hit him or swerve onto the sidewalk.

He swears as he swerves and ends up on the sidewalk in front of the community center.

“Whoo hoo!” I throw my hands in the air as I pass the finish line in front of the bar. “I’m the winner.”

Brody jumps out of his golf cart and stalks toward me. “You’re a cheater is what you are.”

“Peace didn’t say anything about not hitting the other golf cart in his list of rules.”

“Sneaky.” He grins. “I like it.”

He reaches me and shackles my wrist to drag me out of my golf cart. His gaze focuses on my lips and I lick them. His head descends and bang! Our helmets collide.

He chuckles. “I forgot about the helmets.”

“I noticed.” I smile. “Thanks for cheering me up.”

“You don’t need to thank me. It’s my privilege and pleasure to make a bad day into a good day for you.”

“You say the sweetest things.”

His chest puffs up. “I know. I am pretty awesome.”
