Ring. Ring. Ring.
I snatch my pillow out from underneath me and slam it down over my
head, trying to block out the shrill ring of my cell phone. It’s four in the
morning. Way too goddamn early for anyone to be calling me. And yet, my
phone has been blowing up for the last five minutes.
“Jesus Christ,” I mutter when it stops and then immediately starts again.
I toss the pillow across my bed and grab my phone from the nightstand,
swiping to answer. “If you aren’t calling to tell me someone is dead or in
jail, I swear to Christ, I’m going to hunt you down and stick my foot up
your ass.”
“The floodgates have opened in my house, and I don’t know how to build
an Ark,” an adorable little voice cries, sniffling in distress. Fuck my life.
She’s crying.
If it’s too early for phone calls, it’s definitely too early for crying.
I don’t know what to do with tears. Every damn time some chick starts
crying, I take drastic measures. My younger sister played me like a drum
growing up because of that shit. Hell. She still does. As soon as her eyes
well up, I cave like a house of cards and give her whatever she wants. I’m a
certified sucker.
“You’re calling me at four in the morning because you have a leak?”
Oh, yeah. This certified sucker is also a crabby asshole most of the time.
It’s part of my charm. Except, you know, women hate it. This works out
well for me, considering I’m not fucking looking for a woman. I like my
peaceful little slice of heaven in the mountains just fine.
I lived with my sister long enough to know women aren’t conducive to
peace. Or quiet. Or anything resembling the two of them combined.
“No,” the girl on the phone huffs, clearly annoyed. See? That’s not
peaceful or quiet. “This is what happens when a leak springs a leak. The
animals are lining up outside my front door!”
A smile cracks my lips at her hot retort. I flip onto my back, staring up at
the dull-white, spackled ceiling. The uneven surface catches the light from
the lamp on my nightstand, creating uneven shadows across the room.
“Single-file or two-by-two?”
“They’re coming in pairs. Are you going to help me or continue teasing
me?”
“What happened? Actually, first things first. What’s your name?”
“Sutton Reynolds.”
Sutton Reynolds. Whoever she is, she’s not from around here. I’ve never
heard the name before, and that accent is unmistakably southern.
“What happened, Sutton?”
“How should I know? You’re the plumber.”
My brows furrow. “Who the fuck told you that?”
“George Watson. I called him. He said he was out of town and to call
you.”
Okay, so I’m killing George Watson. He didn’t tell me he was going out of
town. He’s the plumber in Clearwater. I’m a pipefitter. It’s not the same
