Chapter 16

Kendra let Jaxson's words flow over her. She had been blindsided by his confession and fell into a hole of confusion and bewilderment for the rest of the day. She had known that General Pritcher disliked her but the level of hatred shocked her. She had done nothing to the man, and yet he sent a hit man after her. Who did that?

"Thank you."

The gratitude was barely more than a whisper. It was all she could manage without breaking down. She hoped like hell that the wobble she could feel in her voice wasn't noticeable. Jaxson had basically just told her how strong she was and yet, there she was, on the verge of tears. She never cried. It was another emotion she didn't allow herself to express.

Before she could make an idiot out of herself, she climbed out of her SUV and moved quickly inside. She needed a few minutes to compose herself. Fortunately for her, Panther was keeping busy putting together dinner and didn't bother to look in her direction. She hightailed it to her bedroom and took a quick shower. Ten minutes later she was throwing on sweatpants and a sweatshirt, her hair hanging loosely down her back. She was refreshed and prepared to take on the world. Or at least, the two people waiting for her in the kitchen. The rest would just have to wait for another time.

Panther was busy plating some pasta since it was likely the only thing he found to make. She sucked at grocery shopping and more often than not ordered in. Jaxson was sitting at the kitchen table with Duke by his side. No one was talking, and she wasn't sure if that was good or bad. Panther was naturally quiet, but since her team seemed to hate Jaxson, she didn't know if that was the reason for the silence. She debated which one to approach first. Knowing Panther was the more laid back of the two, that was the direction she moved.

"Thank you for taking on the dinner plans. I'm ashamed to admit if you hadn't, we all would have likely gone to bed hungry."

She tried for a laugh, but it came out a little stiff. Panther didn't seem to mind, and he gave her a soft smile.

"I figured as much. It wasn't that long ago that we lived together and cooking was never something you enjoyed. Or grocery shopping, for that matter," he chuckled.

"Oh, please. Like you and Hollywood cared where your food came from. Pretty sure pasta is the only dish you know how to make," she huffed in return.

It wasn't true. Panther was actually a half-decent cook, but it was one of those things he kept hidden. There was a lot her teammate didn't like to share about himself. Even as roommates, for years he kept to himself as much as possible, only socializing when he was forced to. She often wondered if he was lonely. She realized now that maybe she should have tried to get him to open up more, which made her feel like both a shitty friend and teammate.
