Todd walked in, falling down on the bunk across from me, an open box in his hands. I looked over, envious as he pulled out a bag of cookies.

“Your mom?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

Grinning through a large bite, he nodded and tossed the bag to me after taking another one out. “Hell, yeah. And damn, if she doesn’t make the best cookies!”

Pulling a large chocolate chip cookie out and sampling it myself, I had to agree. It was absolutely fucking good.

He looked over to the book on my lap and smirked. “You still writing to your little librarian?”

Not falling into his banter, I eyed him while flipping him off.

“Methinks you doth protest too much!” he cackled.

Giving in to the urge to chuckle, I replied, “Hell, I didn’t know you could quote the classics! Do you even know where that quote came from?”

“Hell, no,” he admitted, still laughing. “But I don’t see why you don’t just admit you’ve got a serious hard-on for the librarian!”

“Not gonna dignify that comment that with an answer.”

Sobering, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and faced me, his gaze pinning mine. “You know, Brody…you get out in a few months. There’s no reason not to consider looking her up in person. Hell, man, of any of us here, you deserve someone.”

Nodding my appreciation, I rubbed my chin as I pondered his words. “I don’t know. I mean it’s nice emailing and talking about books, but what if that’s all. What the hell do I have to offer?”

“Seriously? Jesus, you’re a medic who saves lives. I’d think she’d consider herself lucky.”

“Okay, then, what if I meet her and there’s nothing there. That I find out the only thing we have in common is enjoying the same books?”

“So what?” Todd countered. “Lots of relationships start off with less in common than that.”

“So when did you become the relationship guru?” I shot back, my grin now plastered across my face.

This time he flipped me off as he lay back, stuffing in another cookie. “Hey, my advice is free,” he quipped. “Take it or leave it.”

As I sat on my bed, the open book still in my lap, I thought about his words.
