“Do you want to be a WAG, Ford? What about you, Lucas?” Ezra held out his hand. “All you had to do was ask.”
Ford stared at Ezra’s outstretched fingers before he clasped his own around them. “Can I be a WAG?” His voice was barely a whisper.
“Of course!” Ezra winked. “Fe, go ahead and add your brother to our chat.”
He raised his brows at Ford, who shook his head. I hoped that Leo wouldn’t be too upset about it. I figured he hadn’t told Ezra about the reason we’d broken up, otherwise he wouldn’t be inviting Ford right now.
Ford’s lips twisted into a smile. He glanced at me for a second and then dropped his gaze to his hands. Did he think that I cared if he was a WAG or not? Or maybe he thought I was uncomfortable with him going after the same guy as his brother. I didn’t. I wanted my friends, foster brothers, and bandmates to be happy. That was all there was to it. I opened my mouth to tell him, but we pulled up at the track and all I wanted to do was see Leo.

“You look handsome.” Ezra patted my chest with the palm of his hand. “Leo is going to be so excited when he sees you. Decked out in his shirt and everything.”
After I showered, Dad had produced the t-shirt I was currently wearing out of thin air. The one that had Leo’s name and car plastered on the front of it. We had gotten to the track and Ezra rushed us to Carson’s RV, where we all freshened up. It was still raining, and the word around the track was that the race was going to get pushed until tomorrow. I was wearing a pair of my favorite blue jeans, ripped and torn in all the right places.
I swallowed nervously. “I hope so.”
Ezra hummed happily. “Andy, about before—”
I shook my head. “It’s okay, Ezra. I know you were just looking out for Leo. I respect that, too. I don’t blame you for not trusting me. I took the most precious thing I was ever given, his heart, and broke it. I don’t deserve a second chance, but for some reason, Leo’s willing to give it to me.” I tried to push down the bile that threatened to rise up my throat. “I promise I won’t fuck it up this time. I love him too much.”
“I know, boo.” Ezra winked. “Which is why I invited him over to the RV.”
Wait, what?“You did? I thought I would just walk over to his and surprise him.” I gasped. I didn’t want a crowd watching us.
“Where’s the romance in that, huh?” Ezra hooked his arm through mine. “I told him I had a bestie emergency, which is why I was suddenly here at the track, and he should be here...” There was a knock at the door. “Right about now.”
Dad was sitting on the couch next to Carson, and he gave me a thumbs up. The twins had taken off the second they had finished getting ready. I figured they had gone off to visit RJ, but then maybe not. I wasn’t sure where Lucas had disappeared to.
Ezra motioned to the door as Leo knocked again. “Go on, boo. He’s all yours. Go get your man.”
I wasn’t sure why I was so nervous. This was Leo. The love of my life and the one person who knew me better than anyone else. I took a deep breath, unlocked the door, and watched Leo’s face as it morphed from confused, to surprised, and then—
“Andy!” He threw himself at me, dropping the umbrella he held. “What are you...I can’t believe...” Leo hugged me tightly. “I missed you.”
Warmth swirled inside my belly. “I missed you, too, Ricky.”
“I got worried.”
“I’m sorry. I just wanted to surprise you. We were supposed to fly out and get here earlier, but the weather is absolute shit.”
Leo nodded. “You’re here now.”
I didn’t let him say anything else. I hooked my fingers into the belt loops of his pants and tugged him closer. I brushed my lips over Leo’s and listened to the soft sigh he released, his hands finding purchase on my waist.
“It was Dad’s idea,” I murmured, breathing him in, soaking in the familiar sweet scent of cinnamon and the honey vanilla shampoo he always used.
Leo wrapped his arms around me. “Remind me to thank him later.”
“No need to thank me,” Dad called, and Leo giggled. “Surprise, I’m here, too, but this is more about you and Andy.”
Leo rested his chin on my chest, his big blue eyes full of love and unshed tears. “I’m glad you’re here. I was disappointed when the rain started, and I knew that I wasn’t going to get back to you as soon as I planned.”
“Can we go to your place? Have a little alone time?”
I didn’t care if my father heard me. I wanted to touch my boyfriend. All the soft planes of his skin and body that I needed to re-familiarize myself with.
Leo smiled. “Yeah, hon, we totally can.”
