Family

“What did you wish to know?” Romo asked.

“How did you two meet?” Mom asked.

“I was staying at the Dragon’s Treasure Casino. Have you heard of it?” he asked.

Her eyes narrowed and she exclaimed, “Oh yes. I have a niece that disappeared from there.”

“Davy?” he asked.

“Yes, she went in but never came back out,” she explained.

“Your niece is fine. I’ve seen her myself before I left home and Bree spoke to her on skype,” he offered. Mom swung her head toward Bree.

“Is this true?” she asked.

Bree nodded and then admitted, “Yes, Mom. Not only is she fine, but they are expecting a baby already. She looked happy and told me she would not be alive if Jarel hadn’t whisked her away. Those men after her are still looking and they’ve threatened me too.”

“Oh my God, Bree. How are we going to keep you safe?” Mom asked.

“Romo will keep me safe Mom,” Bree observed. “He’s amazing.”

“Hmm, I see. Tell me Romo, what is it you do at home?” Mom asked turning all her attention on him.

“In my country, we still have nobility. We’re not a large country but we have a strong economy. I’m a captain of the royal guard. Our job is to keep the king secure wherever he may go. The job is challenging and exciting. Davy’s mate, er husband, is also charged with protecting royalty. He is a sergeant and guards the palace doors. I believe Davy works in the palace too, although I’m not sure what she does or if she works part or full time,” Romo explained.

“It’s nice to know Davy is alright, but why do I have the feeling I’m about to lose my daughter like I lost my niece?” Mom asked.

Romo and Bree exchanged looks. They hadn’t intended to lead with her leaving. Only once her mom was assured of everyone’s safety and happiness had they planned to tell her more. Mom had taken control away from them and pushed things forward.

“She will be safer there and I will do everything in my power to make her happy. Once we are settled in, we hope to visit you from time to time. Davy may be able to visit as well once the criminals have been dealt with and it is safe,” Romo assured.

Mom sighed. “I’m sure you know more about this than I do. Tell me, will I be able to visit my daughter? She’ll need me if you two decide to have children.”

Romo looked poleaxed. “I wish I could say for sure. The paperwork that’s needed has been put in but these requests are rarely approved. Our country is small and old fashioned. Outsiders have caused trouble in the past and while I’m sure you wouldn’t, it’s not my decision to make.”

Mom said, “I can respect that. Tell me what your country is like.”

“We aren’t industrialized but I will be able to provide for your daughter. Our home is much like yours with a garden spot and animals. Our lives are simple, but satisfying and I will give Bree anything she needs or wants.
