JUSTICE STOOD ON the sidewalk with Felicia. “Where do you want to start? A tour of the town? Or would you rather go to your hotel?”

“I’ve already been to the hotel,” she told him. “I went there first.”

“You found it.”

She rolled her eyes at him. “Yes, I was able to manage the drive here all by myself and then locate a hotel. My ability to navigate public roads has never been called into question before.”

He laughed, then pulled her in for a hug. “It’s really good to see you.”

She sighed. “It’s nice to be missed.”

He released her and they started walking down the sidewalk. “Knowing you, it would be silly of me to tell you anything about the town’s history.”

“Of course. While scholars disagree on the original settlers, the first documented residents were the Máa-zib tribe, a matriarchal society. In the 1300s, the women migrated north, seeking a life away from their Mayan roots.”

Felicia kept talking, but Justice tuned her out easily. A habit born of practice, he thought contentedly. Felicia was one of the smartest people in the world. But with brilliance came a need to share what she knew, and that could get old.

On the bright side, she had one of the best minds for logistics he’d ever seen. She’d joined his special forces unit as a support member. Give her a time and place and Felicia could get anything, anywhere in the world. She would anticipate delays and plan for the unexpected. She was so good that when they had joint task force operations with other branches of the military, she was the one who ran the logistics.

She was also socially awkward and a little bossy, but he could put up with that. If Patience was the girl he left behind, Felicia was his family. They’d been close nearly from the first day they’d met. His favorite sister, he thought. They knew and understood each other.

They walked past City Hall and turned left.

“Where are you taking me?” she asked, breaking off her lecture on the history of the town.

“To Starbucks. You need a mocha. You’re always in a better mood after you’ve had chocolate.”

“I’m in a good mood now.”

Some guy walking in the other direction glanced at her and did a double take. Justice sighed. “Why’d you have to go and have that surgery? You were fine before.”

She looked at him. “Fine. Words to incite excitement in every woman’s heart. You know what it was like for me. No man would look at me. I didn’t enjoy not having a social life. I want to be like everyone else.” Her voice turned wistful. “At least as much as I can be.”

“There was nothing wrong with you.”

“You don’t like the idea of me having a social life.”

“I worry about you. Look what happened in Thailand.”

Felicia glared at him. “Not as much happened as I would have liked. You broke down the hotel door. What were you thinking? People knock.”

“I didn’t know what he was doing to you.”

“You had a good idea.
