She’d just crawled into bed when her phone trilled. She didn’t need to look at the caller ID to know it was Trevor on the other end of the line. He usually called late.

“Hi.” She sank back against the mound of pillows and closed her eyes. It wasn’t hard to conjure his face in her mind’s eye or even imagine he was in the bed next to her.

“Hello, gorgeous.” His smooth, rich voice carried through the phone’s speakers and made her quiver.

“Where are you?”

“Just outside of San Francisco. Boys club opening tomorrow morning.”

“Ahh. You’re a good man, Trevor Wyatt.” He continued to prove it, little by little, every day.

“Yeah well, I decided it was time to get back out there and use my name for something more than endorsements.”

It couldn’t be easy, opening himself up to the questions and curious kids who had no filter between their brain and their mouth. Two things she knew about Trevor: he was a very private man, and he loved football with every fiber, tendon, and bone in his body.

“I’m sure it’ll mean the world to those kids. Meeting a real-life superhero. You can help them believe anything is possible.”

“I’m not a superhero.”

“You may not wear a cape, but you’re a superhero to them. Larger than life.”

There was a long pause and she wondered if the call had dropped.

“Did I lose you?” she asked.

“Just thinking.”

Normally she didn’t push. When he got pensive, she let him have his space and time. Even when everything in her was shouting questions, she was good at turning parts of herself—her curiosity in this case—off. But tonight she opened her mouth and asked “About?”

“How was your day?”

Changing the topic…a classic evasive maneuver. She decided to call him on it. With a short laugh she said “I doubt that’s what you were thinking about, but I’ll play along. My day was rough, but my condo is now under contract. Happy about that. Now Greg and I can get serious about buying that loft.”

“You’re my little house-flipping dynamo.”

“Hardly. Greg does all the heavy lifting.”

“You say that but I have a feeling you’re the brains behind the operation.”

She laughed and snuggled deeper into the pillows. “I’ll tell him you said that.”

“I’m sure he’d agree with me.”

“How about you? Having a good week?”

“Yeah. I went over to my mom’s for dinner Tuesday. Got to see my brothers. I’m not so sure she was glad to have all of us roughhousing in her living room again, but she hardly complains.”

“I bet she loved it. Mom always said her favorite times were when everyone was home, noisin’ up the house.”

“I would’ve liked to have met your mom. She sounds like a great lady.”

JJ smiled and blinked back a errant tear. “I think she would have liked you. You may not be southern, but she would’ve forgiven that.”

His rumbling laugh warmed her. Dang, she missed him. Missed feeling that laugh. Resting her head on his chest.

“You think so?”

“You have plenty of fine points working in your favor.
