Chapter 14

A week had passed and Theo’s assignment was quickly approaching. He’d been training like a beast at headquarters, and I accompanied him more often than not, much to their receptionist’s disdain.

I’d take it personally, but Jenna didn’t seem to take a shine to anyone. She wasn’t even a dog person, which I couldn’t for the life of me understand.

Sam’s and Em’s dogs were like the Talon mascots, and I loved every second of the furry love, missing our dogs back home.

I wandered over to Theo’s desk that afternoon as he sat studying a map of something. “I’m headed to Cade’s shop to visit Danny. I can swing by the grocery store on the way back, too. Okay if I borrow the Yukon?” I asked, referring to Theo’s SUV. I hadn’t bought my own car yet, but so far it hadn’t been an issue.

He looked up distractedly. “Sure, babe. Can you get some more lean ground beef?”

I fought a laugh. “Was planning on it. At this rate, we might as well keep a herd of cattle for slaughter.”

He grinned playfully. “Good thing you like the results.”

“I really do,” I admitted, leaning down to kiss him while taking the keys from his fingers at the same time. “I’ll text you to see if I need to pick you up or just meet you at home.”

He nodded before turning back to whatever it was he’d been working on.

It was a gorgeous day as I drove the thirty minutes to Cade’s shop. There wasn’t much of a distinction between summer and fall weather in Los Angeles, but some of the leaves had changed color and it had grown slightly cooler in the evenings.

The buzz of tattoo guns greeted me as I walked in, finding a smiling Danny behind the front desk.

They’d hired a shop girl, but Danny and Caden just seemed to enjoy spending the time together and she frequently helped out.

“Hey, lady.” She smiled when I walked in.

“Hi.” I grinned, holding up the coffees I’d brought us.

“Bless you.” She sighed dramatically taking a sip. “Liv was up a lot last night. I think she’s in a growth spurt or something.”

I nodded sympathetically. “Maybe not the best time to ask, but do you guys think about another?”

“We’ll probably start trying soon,” she replied. “Liv is nearly two. I’m just not quite ready to be pregnant again.”

“Well, I can’t relate, but that makes sense to me,” I said, as I pulled a stool up next to hers.

“Have you and Theo talked about that sort of thing?” she asked with a lifted brow.

I nearly choked on my coffee. “God, no. We just barely got together.”

“But you can see it,” she surmised with a smile.

“I can see it,” I admitted. “He was amazing with my nephew. He’ll be a great dad.”

“He really will,” she agreed. “How are you feeling about him being gone?”

I sighed. “I’m worried. I know he can handle himself, but I don’t relish the thought of him purposefully putting himself at risk. But it’s what he does.
