“You should get one of those.”

I did as she suggested, dropping the plastic pregnancy test in the bag before looking at it one more time.

I wondered idly if I should tell Luca here or not.

“What are you waiting for?” my new friend asked. “You should go tell him.”

I licked my lips.

“I’m nervous,” I said. “I’ll give you a dollar if you go give it to him.”

She held out her hand and I placed a crumpled up one-dollar bill in her hand.

She took it, pocketed it, then took my plastic baggie by two fingers.

“I’m doing this because it’ll get me closer to that black-haired hottie,” she informed me. “Because holy shit, is he hot.”

I snorted and watched her walk away.

I leaned against the doorway and watched as she walked straight up to Luca, held out the bag to

him, and started talking.

Malachi looked down at the woman with bemusement on his face.

His brows rose, and I watched Luca’s face as he stared at the test in his hand.

I could see his brows furrow and the confusion on his face.

“What is this?” I heard him ask.

I didn’t hear the girl’s reply, but whatever it was made him take a step back and nearly toss the

bag that was holding the test.

Malachi started to chuckle, and the girl gestured my way.

Luca’s eyes jerked up and locked on me, and his face went utterly slack.

I raised my brows at him, gave him a thumb up, then a thumb down.

He understood immediately what I was asking and gave me a shaky thumb up.

My smile went wide just as Cheyenne came up to my side and said, “So let’s go fill out our

paperwork.”

I grinned and waved at Luca who still looked stunned.

He watched me go as Malachi slapped him on the back before giving him a manly hug.

Still, Luca’s eyes never left mine.

I felt the heat of his stare as I turned my back on him and followed Cheyenne to fill out my

paperwork.

Tears burned in the back of my eyes, though.
