They built a bonfire again out back, by the hot tub and water tank, and Devon sat on Nick’s lap as the team sat around the fire and told stories about the customers and the day. One by one men peeled off, said their goodbyes to Devon and Nick, and hit the rack for the long trip home tomorrow.

Left alone with Nick under the night sky, she realized she wanted to discuss future plans. Although she didn’t want to initiate it, she had to.

“You never said when you were going back. I’m guessing you have to leave tomorrow as well?”

“Yes.”

Her insides tightened. She was glad she’d have to throw herself into making sure the escrow went smoothly. It might help with the missing him part. She wanted him desperately to say something she could hang on to.

Her wish was granted.

“Devon, after this closes, I’d like you to come down to San Diego and stay for a little while. Try the place on. See if you could find yourself—” Nick’s eyes sparkled.

She leaned into him and kissed him on the lips.

“Find myself what?” she teased. She wanted to hear him say it. Her sanity depended on it.

“See if you could wrap your head around maybe being with me.”

She could tell he was struggling with the words. It delighted her to needle him further.

“But, Nick…” she said as she slid her hands down to his crotch, “I’ve already been with you. Almost more times than I can count. I think that part of us works just fine.” She kissed him again and saw him crack a smile.

“Little did I know when I met that kid with the braces and scrawny arms that I’d feel this way.”

“Feel what way, Nick?”

He sighed. “Devon, I’m in love with you.”

She wanted to wait, to savor the echo of those words in the night air. But she couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Thank God!! ‘Cause Nick, I fell in love with you five years ago. My brain just figured out what my body knew way back then. And nothing would give me more pleasure than to be with you in San Diego.”

“I warn you, it’s a different world down there.”

“I’m up for it. As long as you’re there.”

“I don’t deploy until next year, but I start workup in five months. Doesn’t give us much time to—”

“It doesn’t matter. We have what we have. I’ll get the property closed, and then I’ll come down and—”

He cut her off with another kiss. “And then we’ll see what happens.”
