Chapter 13

Saying goodbye to Jen that morning had been much harder than Grant would like to admit.

As he neared Virginia Beach, she was still only a couple of hours away in DC, but when she went back home with her parents she’d be too far from him for comfort. He hated that idea.

Jeez, he was in trouble.

He suspected as much when he’d kissed her, but that he could have written off as just physical. Attraction coupled with the fact he’d been in a long sexless estrangement from Bethany.

But these feelings . . . this felt more like he missed Jen.

All of her.

Her smile. Her laugh. Her belief she could change the world and her willingness to try, even now after all she’d been through.

She was an idealist and he was a realist. But he didn’t dampen her brilliant ideas for the future with his knowledge of the horrors of the present.

He let her bright outlook lift some of the darkness that had settled in him over the years.

They’d talked about her work—what had brought her to Africa in the first place. She wanted to save everyone, but the children most especially because they were the future.

Jen’s passion when she believed strongly in something touched him the most . . . although so did her passion when she'd kissed him.

Even with as conflicted as he was about her, he smiled at that memory.

He wouldn’t have thought he’d known Jen long enough to miss her but damned if he didn’t have all the symptoms. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Couldn’t stop himself from planning when he might be able to talk to her again.

Worst of all, he couldn’t prevent the slightly ill feeling inside him at the thought she would go home and do as he’d asked—think about her feelings regarding him and decide it was just gratitude because he’d been there to save her.

He was in the same boat as she was as far as not being able to trust his own feelings.

She’d come into his life just as it had been turned completely upside down by this divorce. He could be confused about his feelings too. Looking for a rebound. A bandage to cover the pain.

His contemplation of Jen and that kiss had occupied Grant’s mind for the first half of the drive back home, but now his thoughts turned to the paperwork currently riding shotgun in the pocket of his duffle bag in the passenger seat.

He’d forced himself to read every word before signing it.

It seemed pretty straightforward to him, but he wasn't a lawyer so what did he know? His reading it over wasn’t good enough. He probably should have the Legal Department on base take a look too. Make sure Bethany’s lawyer wasn’t trying to pull a fast one, because it seemed odd to Grant she’d asked for so little.

In fact, Grant was shocked she wasn't trying to get more. He knew well what one of his guys had gone through during his divorce.

Poor Thom was still paying through the nose years after his divorce had been finalized.
