Chapter 17 Now

Evie, and I were meeting at Harper's House today. She hadn't been inside yet, and since Cole had been running the place in Wes, and Zoe's absence, it wasn't hard to get inside. I decided to bring Rocko along to get him out of the house, and he had his own space in the building. As soon as I arrived, Cole came out of the building sporting a smile. The reason behind it, kind of scared me. He wasn't exactly the warmest person, and usually, a smile meant he was up to no good.

“Morning!” He said, shutting the door securely behind him.

“Cole.” I said warily. “What's behind the door?”

“You army guys.” He said, baffled. “Do you all have trust issues, or is it just you and Wes?”

“Did you ever ask yourself if you're the reason we have those issues?” I asked, raising a brow.

“Ha. Ha.” He said sarcastically, motioning towards the door. “Go ahead, go on in.”

Warily, I took a few steps forward. I slowly pulled the door open, and went inside. A quick look around told me that the place was still standing, so there was that. But a second glance, found exactly what he was hiding. There, sitting behind the receptionists desk was Harper Blue. The very woman the place was named for. I'd only ever seen her in pictures, and they didn't do her justice. She was a beautiful woman, with long blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. She sat quietly, staring at me, assessing me, before clearing her throat slightly.

“Hello.” She said, quietly. “You must be Jake.”

“And you're Harper.” I stated without question. “It's a pleasure to meet you.”

“Thank you. I mean. You too.” She stammered. “Sorry. I'm a little new at this socializing thing.”

“It's alright, but I'm sorry, Cole didn't mention that you would be here. Why are you here exactly?”

“Oh. I've been granted day leave.” She said excitedly. “It's only for a few hours, and I have to stay with Cole, but he really wanted me to see my name sake, and show me all the kids that he, and Wes have been helping. I hope that's okay. I don't want to intrude.”

“It's fine, really.” I smiled warmly. “My son, and his mother will be here shortly. She's a pediatrician. She's offered her time for the kids who can't make it to a doctor on a regular basis.”

“That's amazing. Everything Wes, and his wife have done here is amazing. I still can't believe it. That he would name this place after me. It seems so surreal.”

“I hate to ask, but does that mean you don't agree with your sister?”

“Jake!” Cole interuppted rather loudly. “Your baby mama's here.”

“Don't call her that.” I said, turning away from Harper, and heading back outside to help with Gabriel.

“What should I call her then?” He asked, seemingly innocent.

I flipped him the bird, and kept walking. I didn't lower my hand until I heard the door shut behind me. Maybe I was a bit out of line asking Harper about her sister.
