CHAPTER 19
AUSTIN
Austin sat there at the table, holding Giselleâs hand and treasuring how wonderful it was just to be there⦠all while lost in his own thoughts, replaying the last hour in his mind.
Firefly and X-Ray pulled him aside, dragging him away so they could talk to him away from everyone else. Within seconds, he was in a car staring at a little girl about two years old with shockingly white hair, watching him with fascination.
âSo? How serious are things between you two?â
âWow. You sure donât sugarcoat it much, Firefly.â
âNever have, never willâ¦â
âHe wants to know if you are happy,â X-Ray smiled easily. âAnd weâve all been in your shoes, knowing how wonderfully scary falling for someone can be. It affects your life, your thoughts, and your dreams of the future â so we wanted to check on you.â
âIâm good.â
âAre you sure?â X-Ray said gently â and Austin looked at the man that had occupied the bunk directly across from him the moment heâd arrived in Ghazni.
âYouâre not engaged,â Firefly interrupted bluntly, putting the car in park finally and getting out. âYouâre not foolinâ around. Youâre going to her parentsâ home, so does that mean you are asking her daddy for permission? Is she pushing you for marriage?â
âWhat? No? Wait - do you think sheâs expecting that? I mean, we are kinda serious butâ¦â
âDid you buy her a ring?â
âNoooo?!â Austin balked, feeling nervous now as he saw the jewelry store before them, wondering if they had dragged him here to buy Giselle an engagement ring.
âDude! She flew halfway across the world with you â alone â and taking you to see her parents. The girl is gonna be expecting you to pop the question or marry her.â
Austin looked at X-Ray, who smiled and shrugged.
âReally?â
âYou probably should be ready if the discussion comes up,â X-Ray began carefully. âI know that Firefly had the whole thing set up for Melody⦠and well, I ran away with my girlfriend, and we ended up married, waking up beside each other in quite a mess. It was hard because both of us were terrified at that moment because of our own issues. Then I had to leave again. It was tough on me because I couldnât see her⦠but for you? Youâll see her, but be separated, too.â
âHow well do you know her?â Firefly asked. âI feel like you are my kid brother and kinda always have â so I just wanted to check on you.â
âIâm⦠Iâm confused. Why are we here, of all places?â Austin admitted hesitantly in a hushed voice. âI really like Giselle so much and feel drawn to her, but sometimes I feel like we are so different, too. I mean, Iâve never felt like this and sheâs so quiet sometimes.â
âYou are pretty outgoing, pup.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou love life, you do everything you can to bring joy to a room â whether itâs singing Madonna at the top of your lungs in the middle of the gym on base, throwing
