She wanted to ask so badly.

Really, she wanted to know. But after she had made that statement, there wasn’t a way for her to ask without it sounding like she was going back on it. She had meant every word.

That didn’t mean she wasn’t curious.

“So what was he in for?”

“Assault.”

She swallowed, glancing out the front of the window away from him, butterflies filling her stomach.

Mark going to prison didn’t worry her.

Having friends that went to prison, she could deal with that.

Assault, that worried her.

“Hey. Little bird look, at me.” She did as he asked, trying to keep the worry off her face.

“I promise I would never take you somewhere that you would feel unsafe okay?”

She nodded and leaned over, laying her head on his shoulder. “Will you tell me about it?”

“Me being in prison?”

“Yes,” she murmured, trying to stifle a yawn.

How was it that she was tired? It was only ten in the morning.

“So I was young, I had just taken the position of enforcer with Sergio. I was training under one of his men. Traveling with him to other places, making sure that smaller divisions were following the rules and that other families didn’t have any problems. It was a position of honor.”

He took a deep breath, and she took his free hand. Letting her thumb rub back and forth along the scars across his knuckles. She bent her head and kissed them, before laying her head back on his shoulder. A spot that she was quickly coming to realize was her comfort spot.

He turned his head kissing her hair and she sighed, peace settling around her. Filling the cab of the truck.

“So we were headed out to a hit and we got pulled over. Just a stupid taillight, but the driver mouthed off to the cops. Stupid.” He shook his head slightly. “Sergio and I were sitting in the back of the car, and the cops made us all get out. When we went to get out, I knew Sergio was carrying so I took his gun and put it in my holster. I knew the cops would find it, but it was better me than Sergio. But it was a runner gun.”

“A what?”

“A runner gun. It’s a ghost gun that others have used and then dumped. The next person uses it then tosses it. It makes it really hard for the cops to pin down something on a person, if they have alibis for half the things the gun was used for.”

“Oh okay. That’s really smart.”

“Christ,” he muttered.

“What?” She twisted to look up at him.

“I shouldn’t be telling you this shit.” His brow furrowed, and she let her thumb go back to rubbing circles against his knuckles.

“Why? I wanted to know.”

“I don’t want you tainted with this crap.”

“Well, that’s too bad. You’re my Mark. If it has something to do with you, then I want to know.” She sat up straight, and lifted her chin.

“Your Mark?” he asked softly in a tone that she couldn’t decipher as he glanced at her.
