Chapter 13

“His name is Jake Travers and he just finished a stint in the military. He grew up in New York City and he showed me around this afternoon.”

“That was very nice of him.” Marco finished making himself presentable as they rode the elevator to the ground level. “He’s meeting us for dinner?”

Alex nodded, “He should be waiting for us downstairs.” I hope he’s waiting for us downstairs!

“So you enjoyed seeing New York?”

“Yes, but after spending a day amidst all of these people, I’m very glad that we’re leaving for Colorado tomorrow. Oh, that reminds me, Jake is moving to Colorado as well. He was only here getting his stuff from storage so it could be shipped out there. Isn’t that a coincidence?” Alex asked him.

Marco slowly nodded, “That is amazing. What is he going to be doing in Colorado?”

“A friend of his from the military has a business out there and Jake’s going to work with him. He doesn’t have any family, and he said his military friends filled that void for him. Isn’t that sad? I’m glad he has someone.”

Marco shook the man’s hand, pleased when he felt the strength in his grip. He hated a limp handshake, and often his first impression was bolstered by how one shook his hand. Jake’s first impression climbed significantly after their handshake.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.” Jake offered him a smile of greeting, but Marco noticed his eyes were drawn back to Alex quick enough.

“Likewise. Thank you for showing her around the city today. I would have done so myself, but several things have come up with my business that required my attention. Shall we go?” Marco gestured towards the car.

When Jake and Alex nodded, he waited to see if Jake would play the gentleman, and he wasn’t disappointed. Jake courteously handed Alex into the car, holding onto her hand just a little too long before letting go and joining.

Once in the car, the couple sat next to each other, and Marco went out of his way to make small talk amongst them. The restaurant he had chosen for dinner was across the city, and would necessitate a lengthy drive this time of night, but the food was worth every minute of it.

Alex listened as Jake and Marco discussed various topics, content to listen to the low rumble of his voice and let his scent wash over hers. He’s showered
