Summary
“You know why, Ian?”
Ian was so still, plastered against the tree, that he couldn’t even produce a sound from his throat to respond.
“Your hands aren’t meant for breaking things,” Mickey said lowly and then his body heat vanished and Mickey was standing up, tucking his book under his arm and tossing his cigarette to the grass. He plucked the guitar from Ian and clasped it in the case, slinging it over his back. When Mickey walked off, Ian just stared numbly into the grass, his heart thumping so hard against his chest that he thought it would collapse any second.

Summary
"Tell me about your years as an assassin."
"That's a lot to tell," Gallagher says. "You're going to have to be more specific."
"Tell me about Milkovich."
The change in Gallagher's expression is immediate. His smile vanishes and his eyes go cold. Then he takes a deep breath, and laughs. "Oh, you want to know about Mickey."

Summary
Ian’s new boss at TigerZone trampoline park sucks. The guy is rude and cocky. Also hot, but so what? Ian would rather focus on the anonymous guy he’s been texting with at night.
Mickey is amused by the wrong number that keeps messaging him. The dude’s nice enough, but he’s barely real. Unlike that annoying employee who’s captured his attention.
A workplace rivalry becomes a love quadrangle. With laser tag.
