"I still have a long way to go." I said.
"We all do." He said and he leaned back slightly.
"And when you're ready to expand the garage, I'll help however I can." He added and I smiled.
"You don't have to do that." I said.
"I know." He said.
"You already do enough." I said and his expression turned serious.
"Paige." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"We're a team." He said.
Something warm settled in my chest. A team. Nobody had ever said that to me before. Not in a way that actually felt real.
After dinner we wandered down toward the water. The lake reflected the moonlight like polished glass.
Several couples walked nearby, but most of the shoreline remained quiet and Jace took my hand as we walked.
Every now and then our shoulders brushed together. Simple moments. Comfortable moments.
