John’s eyebrows rose. “Wow. There really was a human under all that facial hair.”

Tank rubbed his hand along his jaw. “It was getting itchy.” He looked around the kitchen. It wasn’t only clean, it was spotless. “You did all of this in the time it took me to have a shave and shower?”

“What can I say—I’m a miracle worker. Have you seen the living room?”

“I don’t know if I want to,” Tank said as he walked past his friend. He stared at the transformation that had taken place. Apart from the curtains and windows being open and all the trash thrown away, John had vacuumed the carpet and rearranged the furniture. “Are you sure you don’t have a genetic link to Tanner?”

“Tanner is in a class of his own. I made coffee. Sit.”

Tank chose a chair as far away as possible from the rest of the furniture.

When John came back with two steaming mugs of coffee, he looked amused. “You’re so much like me it’s almost scary. I don’t know how Rachel puts up with my mood swings and irrational behavior.”

“Are you calling me irrational?”

“If the glove fits…” He disappeared into the kitchen and returned a few minutes later with a plate of toast. “It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing. I’m assuming you haven’t eaten anything today?”

Tank kept quiet. If he had a list of priorities, food would have been at the bottom. But today, along with the rest of the week, hadn’t been about priorities—it was about survival.

“That’s what I thought. You had a loaf of bread buried at the back of your freezer. It wasn’t moldy, so I figured it was edible.” John left the toast on the coffee table and pulled a chair closer to Tank. “So…where do you want to start?”

Eating the toast seemed like a good way to begin a conversation Tank didn’t want to have. He sniffed the butter before taking his first bite. It tasted better than he thought it would, so he ate another piece and finished his coffee.

John sipped his coffee, studying him like a bug under a microscope. “Your delay tactics are commendable, but you’re sitting with someone who’s known you longer than almost anyone else.”

“You think I need rescuing. I don’t. Thanks for the coffee and the toast and everything else, but I’m okay.”

“Have you spoken with Pastor Steven since you came back from Denver?”

Pastor Steven ran a support group for people with post traumatic stress disorder.

When Tank first arrived in Bozeman, he was adjusting to a different life, a life that had left him broken.

He’d reluctantly gone with John to one of Pastor Steven’s meetings where he’d met other men dealing with their own demons; people just as damaged as he was. After ten months of therapy sessions, potluck lunches, and gallons of coffee, life had become easier. Or so he thought.

“I haven’t spoken to Pastor Steven for months. How is he?”

“Busy. He’s organizing another pet adoption day with Sally Gray. Are you ready to tell
