Chapter Fourteen

Morning is a little chaotic. Mia’s trying to wrangle Bruno into eating something mushy and oatmeal looking. Ick.

“I took the morning off.”

Mia’s eyes bounce to mine. “What for?”

“I’m taking you to meet a friend of mine about a job.”

Whatever emotions are in Mia’s eyes are mystery to me.

“What do I need to wear?”

Suddenly I realize part of what I’m seeing is nerves. “Just something casual is fine. We’re just going to the community center.”

She nods, and softens a little.

“Anya’s going to keep Bruno this morning…”

“Alright then. If you’ll make sure he eats, I’ll go get ready.”

We drop Bruno with Anya and hop in the truck. “We can look at cars this morning too, if you want.”

She glances at me, but doesn’t say anything. “You look pretty.”

“Thanks.” She smoothes her long blonde and pink braid. Today Mia has it styled in the way she wears it when she performs in the acrobatic show, a top knot ponytail with a long braid that hangs almost all the way to her waist.

“I like the pink, by the way.” I haven’t told Mia how good she really does look—I should remember to tell her.

Mia’s always been the prettiest woman in the world in my eyes. That ferocious little athletic body, her crazy hair styles, the wildfire in her eyes. Some men might like the housewives of L.A. look. Not me, give me a wild butterfly any day.

She pulls her hair up in front of her eyes for a look at the braid within the braid. “Thanks, the pink was good with my last performance costumes.”

I always loved seeing photos of her new costumes, special makeup, and hair she’d do for the performances. It was rare that I got to go to the shows. And honestly it made me a little sketched out to watch them. It’s damned hard to watch someone you love doing that kind of dangerous work. My heart starts to race a little, even thinking about it now.

I glance at her, sitting square and poised next to me. Mia’s a badass. She knows her stuff. She trains like a beast with the focus of a monk.

A little part of me… okay, a big part of me, is glad she’s not on the road working as an acrobat anymore.

I just hope it doesn’t extinguish her light to give up the life.

That’s one reason I’m feeling worried about our appointment.

It doesn’t take long for us to reach the community center, thankfully. I don’t have time to get too torqued up at how bad this could go.

As we walk toward the entrance, I say, “They’ve made a lot of changes here since you left. New classrooms, more outdoor spaces, bigger pool.”

When we get to the front desk, I greet the attendant. “Parker Shultz, please.”

The twenty something in athletic wear bops away to fetch her boss. A couple of minutes later Parker emerges from a closed door. “Bishop, nice to see you.”

The former pro running back gives me a firm handshake.

“Parker, this is Mia. I was hoping we could talk more about what I called about.
