Chapter Fifteen
Alex
“What the hell are you doing in North Carolina anyway?” Toby asked.
I’d met Toby at flight school. He was a great guy and a good friend. He’d actually come out a few summers and done some flying in Alaska. It was good money, and you could get temp jobs there easily because the work ramped up so much in the summer. When I’d emailed him about a possible trip here, he’d told me he could line up a few jobs with him for me. That had sealed the deal for me coming to see Delilah. Not that I needed to work while I was here, but I knew her schedule wouldn’t permit her taking two weeks off, so it kept me busy while she was working.
I tossed a rag stained with all kinds of engine fluids into a bin and turned to wash my hands in the large sink. “I came for a girl.”
