“He wasn’t just in the army. He was Special fucking Ops.” Logan looked around the corner from the kitchen into the dining room where Chloe was doing her homework at the table and Grace was coloring and realized he needed to keep his voice down.

It was three nights after the dance dress rehearsal and he was knee-deep in stories about Dana’s dead husband—her Special Ops soldier dead husband—for a report Chloe had to do about a family member who was a hero.

It had been Logan’s idea to call Chloe’s grandma, Chad’s mother, for information since Dana wasn’t around.

Now, two hours later, they had plenty of information about how amazing and heroic and badass and amazing Chad Doucet had been.

Gabe chuckled on the other end of the phone. “Probably a good thing he’s dead. You wouldn’t want to be messing with that guy’s wife if he was alive.”

“You’re hilarious,” Logan said. “Seriously. So glad I called you.”

“What do you want me to say? That you’re special in your own way and not to worry about the gorgeous, intelligent, independent woman who is too good for you, comparing you to her strong and brave soldier husband who died a hero?”

He had definitely called the wrong guy. Logan scrubbed a hand over his face. “Yeah, something like that.”

Gabe laughed. “You’re fine. Unless you told her you’re like a secret agent or that you moonlight as a brain surgeon or something.”

“Uh, no. I’ve actually been pretty up front about what I do.” Which wasn’t fucking much, really.

“Then you’re fine. Because she got into bed with you, more than once, brought you to meet her kids, and asked you to help out with them, knowing exactly who you are.”

Logan thought about that. Gabe had a point. “So um…why do you think she did all of that stuff?”

Gabe laughed again. “Because maybe you’re not so bad.”

“But really.”

“I mean it,” Gabe said. He sounded mildly amused but not like he was actually laughing now. “Look, Chad was a hero. Thank God for guys like him. But also…maybe there’s something to being here. Like you are. You know?”

“Being here. I’m making green slime, practicing doing hair—and by the way, French braids are way harder than they look—and helping Chloe write a report about her amazing dad. So, yeah, I’m here.”

“Yep. And Chad didn’t do any of those things.”

“Because he was protecting our asses in the middle of a fucking desert surrounded by people who wanted to kill him. While I was pouring beer and screwing a new woman every night, he was carrying seventy-pound packs of equipment around in one hundred degree weather so that…I could pour beer and screw women as a free man!”

There was a long pause on the other end and Logan peeked around the corner at the girls again.

“Are you okay?” Chloe asked.

“Yep. You?”

“Yep,” she said with a grin.

He gave her a wink. Then he lowered his voice and turned back into the kitchen. “Chad Doucet was amazing. What the hell is Dana doing with me?”

“Wow,” was Gabe’s reaction to that.
