It's just a welcome present.
I clutched the shorts between my fingers. I would have done the same for any new member to the gym. But I already knew that wasn't true. Quite a few fighters had joined the gym since I'd been running it, and I hadn't gone out of my way to do anything special for any of them.
That didn't mean it had to mean something, though. It was just a small token of how happy Smiley's was to have Bones. There was certainly no extra meaning there.
But would he see it that way? Sudden panic coursed through me. Would Bones see this gift as a sweet, 'welcome to the gym' gesture. Or would he think there was more meaning attached to it? Would he think I was coming on to him?
