Rags nodded. “Me too. Great chili, dude.” He bumped fists with Ryder.
“Why don’t you bring Savannah by our house so she can meet Cara? I think it’d be good for her son to play with Braxton. I can have Banger bring Harley by,” Hawk said as he slipped on his jacket.
“That’s a good idea. I know she wants to buy some Christmas presents for Timmy, so if he’s occupied, it’ll make it easier for her,” Ryder replied.
“You’re giving a shit about Christmas?” Throttle said.
“Haven’t you been a fuckin’ Scrooge about it for years?” Animal asked, slipping on his gloves.
“I’m talking about her and the boy, not me,” Ryder growled.
“Gotcha.” Animal smirked.
“So they’ll be here for the charity event?” Hawk asked.
“Yeah. Probably through the new year.” Ryder opened the door and hoped the frigid air blowing in would put an end to the conversation.
“Looks like Ruthie’s isn’t gonna happen for you, seeing that you’re taking yourroommateand her son to Hawk’s tomorrow.” Throttle wrapped his scarf around his neck.
“Another time.” Ryder looked over at Hawk. “I’m gonna try and make the meeting at the VA next Tuesday. You gonna be there?”
“Yep.” Hawk clasped his shoulder. “See you tomorrow around noon, okay?”
“Sure.”
Ryder watched the men trudge down the walkway until they disappeared into the cold night. He shut the door and waited for Brutus to come back from doing his business, and he wondered what Savannah was doing right at that moment. The hour was late, so he figured Timmy had already gone to bed, and a strong urge to go to her room seized him.
Brutus barked and Ryder opened the door then locked it. He put out the fire in the fireplace and ambled down the hallway, pausing in front of Savannah’s closed door for a few seconds. He quirked his lips then slowly walked to his room.
