Chapter Eight

Patriot

I couldn’t have been prouder of MaryAnne. Not only for hugging that man, but everything she was trying to accomplish. She’d picked out three pre-lit trees and ornaments that wouldn’t break easily, not wanting the little kids to get hurt. She was a complete wonder, and I was so fucking glad she was mine.

“Since we’re here, why don’t we see if they have any of the items on the lists? Although, if the families didn’t have decorations, they may not have stuff to wrap the presents either. Better grab some wrapping paper and tape,” I said.

“Did you ever check your bank account? What if we’re spending too much?” MaryAnne asked. “I want to do some good, but not if it means spending all your money. Oh no! The animals! We’ve been gone so long already…”

I sent a text to one of the Prospects, asking them to let Archimedes out and check on everyone’s food and water. Then I pulled up the banking app on my phone, checked my balance, and let out a whistle. It seemed Titan wasn’t kidding about the club helping. I showed her the screen and her eyes went wide.

“The Pres had Wizard deposit ten thousand into my account, Little Bit. That means we get everything on their lists, maybe something for the parents too, and even give them some cash to help in the upcoming weeks. And that’s after the expense of the food and all the other things we stuffed into these carts.”

“That’s so amazing!” She smiled and flung her arms around me, giving me a tight hug. “Thank you! I couldn’t have done all this on my own.”

“Anything for you, Little Bit. In fact, we can make this a yearly thing. Each December, we can check in with Reverend Burson and see if he has any families in need. And maybe a few times a year, we can drop off some non-perishable food at his church for anyone who needs it.”

“You’re the best.” She kissed me. It was brief, but it was the sweetest kiss I’d ever had.

“Come on. Pick out some wrapping paper, I’ll grab the tape, and then we can buy the presents for these families.”

We ended up having so much stuff, we had to check out and go back in for more. Seeing her so happy, so carefree, made it all worthwhile. Not only were we going to make someone’s Christmas a little brighter, but helping someone had given MaryAnne the last little push she needed to become whole again. I could see it in her eyes. The shadows were gone, leaving a vibrant, sweet woman I got to call my own.

We dropped everything by the church, along with an envelope of cash for each family, and a few hundred as a donation to Reverend Burson’s church. I wasn’t ready for the day to end just yet. I pulled into a parking spot outside the diner and led MaryAnne inside. It had been hours since we last ate, having missed lunch because of all our shopping, and I knew she had to be starving.
