scared to see what was on it. I pressed the power button, and the main screen filled with tons of my favorite movies. He’d even found several that I’d told him I wanted to see but hadn’t been able to find. It also had some of my favorite magazines and songs downloaded on it. Damn it. Why did he have to be so stinking thoughtful? I tossed it to the other side of the bed and tried to block it from my thoughts, but I couldn’t help it. I felt the smile slowly spread across my face as I thought about how sweet it was of Bobby to do that. I couldn’t believe he’d taken the time to do something like that for me. Get your shit together, Courtney! I shook my head, trying to clear Bobby from my mind.
    I took a deep breath and decided I needed a hot bath. It was the perfect way to end a crazy day. I walked into my bathroom, and then stopped in utter shock. My pulse quickened, and I could feel my chest tighten as I slowly reached out for Bobby’s t-shirt that was folded on the sink. It was the shirt I’d always worn when I stayed at his place. Oh, hell no . I shook my head as I tossed that sucker clear across the room. He was playing hardball, and I wasn’t going to let him get to me. It was going to take more than a few movies and an old damn t-shirt to change my mind.
    A few hours later, Maverick called me into the kitchen. He’d made my favorite Italian pasta for dinner. I was impressed. The table was set, and it smelled incredible. It turned out to be the best chicken alfredo I’d ever eaten. We talked all through dinner. I was amazed at how easy he was to talk to. It was like we’d know each other forever. Without thinking, I blurted out, “I remembered what happened the night of the accident.”
    He leaned back in his chair and looked at me thoughtfully. “You wanna tell me about it?”
    “I couldn’t remember anything at first. It was so frustrating laying in that damn hospital and not knowing what really happened. I tried to remember, but everything was just a haze. Then, it came rushing back to me all at once. Truthfully… I wish I hadn’t remembered.” I spent the next half hour telling him everything I could recall.
    “Can you tell me about the guy that came up to your window? What did he look like?” he asked.
    “It was dark, but I could still see this large, jagged scar that went down the entire side of his face. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. His long hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and he had one of those beards like old guys wear. He gave me the creeps.”
    “Any idea how many guys were with him?”
    “At least six, maybe seven.”
    “You did good, Courtney. I need to call Bishop. It’ll help him know which guy he’s looking for,” Maverick said.
    “Why do you think they were going after me? I’m really not part of the club. I know I was dating Bobby, but we weren’t official or anything.”
    “There’s more to it than that, but I can’t go into it with you right now. Just know that we’re going to do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
    “I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. I hate that I don’t know what’s going on. Will you at least tell me if I need to be worried?” I asked.
    “There’s nothing for you to worry about. I got this, and with Bobby’s security system, nothing will get by us. I’m going to give Bishop a call. Let me know if you remember anything else,” he said compassionately.
    Just the mention of Bobby’s name made my heart sink. I had totally forgotten about the security system he had installed a few months ago. He was so determined to make sure the house was safe, and at the time, I thought it meant that he loved me. I wasn’t so sure anymore.
    “You okay?” Maverick asked.
    “I’m just tired. I think I’m going to call it a night,” I told him. I put my dishes in the sink and before I left the kitchen, I turned to him and said, “Thank you, Maverick. I really do appreciate everything. It means a
