“Colt.”
He sighed. “When I reached the gym, someone took a shot at me.”
I blinked. “A shot at you?” My heart squeezed. “Like they tried to punch you?”
“No, like with a gun.”
My chest locked. “He shot at you!”
“Macy, calm d—”
I threw my hands in the air. “That crazy asshole tried to kill you!” I shook my head, my anger building. “I did nothing but try to like him, and in return I getthis. And now he’s targeting you, as well?”
“Macy.” Colt clamped his hands on my arms. “Take a breath.”
I looked at his handsome face. It wasn’t classically handsome, it was a little too rough around the edges, but it looked perfect to me.
God. What if Scott had managed to shoot Colt?
I pulled in a shaky breath. Colt was looking after me, and I wouldn’t let Scott hurt him.
“Hey, whatever is going on in that head of yours, stop it.”
“Colt…” I just needed to escape all this for a bit. From the look of Colt’s Level 5 scowl and tense shoulders, so did he. “Can we go somewhere? Where there is no Scott? No bullets? Just… Get away for a bit?”
He looked at me for a beat, then nodded. He took my hand and towed me toward the stairs. “Get changed. You’ll need jeans or long pants.”
“Okay.”
I ducked into the guest room and pulled on my favorite navy-blue leggings, and a pretty, off-the-shoulder blouse in white.
Colt was waiting for me. We headed down to the ground floor garage.
“What about Daisy?”
He didn’t respond, just staring at my bare shoulders.
“Colt?”
He grunted. “She’s at her best friend’s house for a sleepover.”
“Oh.” So it was just the two of us. Alone.
When the lights clicked on in the garage, he didn’t head for his SUV, his big truck, or the fancy black muscle car that looked tough and growly.
“I have something for you.”
I glanced up at him. “Really?”
He pointed.
I saw my bike leaning against the wall. In perfect condition. My mouth dropped open. “My bike.” I rushed over and touched the front wheel. There was no sign it had ever been damaged. “You fixed it.”
He slid his hands into his pockets. “I know you love it. Even though it’s a ridiculous color.”
“It is not.” I felt like I was melting inside. There was some pretty ribbon in a teal and pink tied onto my basket. I touched it and lifted a brow.
Colt cleared his throat. “Daisy added that.”
