The ride to June’s work is quiet. She sits opposite of me, her arms folded across her chest like she’s pouting that I insisted on escorting her to work. She’s going to be even more pissed when I go in with her, and sit out her shift in my corner booth.

I have other things that I need to get done, work that requires my attention, but it will have to wait until I’m certain that she is home and safe. It’s not ideal, that’s for damn sure, yet I do it anyway, because the thought of something happening to her when I could have prevented it eats away at me.

I’m already furious enough with myself that danger managed to find her. I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping away once I crossed that line with her. But little did I know that Bryant and Hayes had their own thing going with her, too, putting June deeper in the line of fire.

None of us should have gotten involved.

Now there’s no possibility of going back. Our enemies wouldn’t believe we cut ourselves off cold turkey, and they’d use her as collateral on the chance that it would work. The only way to keep her safe now is to keep her close, and do everything we can to protect her.

“You’re not going in there,” she tells me when I climb out of my side of the SUV and approach her.

“I am.”

“No, you’re not.”

“Come on.” I grip her under her arm and nudge her toward her place of work.

“I’m not a child.” June pulls herself from my grasp.

“Then don’t act like one.”

June narrows her gaze at me and sucks in a breath, her wild eyes telling me she’s considering all the things she’d like to do to me…just not in a fun way. Although, fun is a subjective term.

I steady my stare back at her. “Until you are no longer in danger, someone will escort you to and from wherever you please. If you have a problem with that, tough. The alternative will likely result in your untimely death. Now, would you like to step inside or perhaps you don’t enjoy being punctual?”

“I didn’t sign up for this.”

“Neither did I.”

“Clearly you did, you’re the one enforcing it.”

“My apologies for caring whether you live or die.”

“I’m going to prove you wrong. This is all one big misunderstanding.”

“Uh-huh, sure.” I place my hand on her lower back, my other outstretched toward the entrance of the dive bar she spends most of her nights in.

June shakes me off once more and walks to the door, each of her footsteps carrying the weight of her growing annoyance at me.

I grip the handle and pull the thing open, following her into the poorly lit establishment. Without saying another word to her, I mosey over to my booth, unbuttoning my jacket and folding it neatly in half. I ensure the table is dry and free of any other debris, then set it carefully down. All the while listening in on the conversation June is having with the man named Jack who owns the place.
