Chapter Sixteen

War checked over his bike. He’d had one of the prospects detail it today. He wanted everything perfect for their date. He’d learned a lot in all the conversations he’d had. He’d even spent time chatting with his twin. Of all the guys, he was the one that told him brother or no, if he hurt Remington, he’d be kicking his ass.

Bear walked in and sat down. He waited. Bear may be his best friend, but he also wasn’t above telling him he was being an idiot. He hoped he wasn’t here to discourage him from going out with Remington.

“Bike looks good. You’ve planned a good evening. You have one more thing before you go, though.”

He glanced at his friend. The man who had dragged him through some of the worst times of his life and helped him survive. Arching his brow, he waited. He wasn’t leaving until Bear said his peace and he had thirty minutes before he needed to leave to pick up Remington.

“You have to let the guilt go.”

Let the guilt go. How did you let twenty years of regret and guilt go just because someone said so? Bear knew what had happened. He’d been there. War had failed and no one else was to blame. Guilt and regret had been his constant companions.

“Guilt keeps us from making the same mistake again,” he replied. Bear’s shake of his head irritated him. Why did he have to bring it up before his date? Like he didn’t have enough on his mind tonight already.

“It wasn’t your mistake. It was hers. I’d give anything to go back and not have you carry this burden.”

He’d wondered over the years if Bear had felt as bad as he did. She’d only been his trainee because Bear had been injured and he’d been picked to complete her training. He remembered being so worried for his friend and furious that the captain had chosen him to take over her training. He’d read all Bear’s notes. He’d been ready to request she be placed on disciplinary action for not following orders. Bear hadn’t yet because she was the daughter of one of the captain’s friends. He’d decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, which had been a mistake. The biggest mistake during his career in law enforcement. Her death was on him.

“It was mine.”

“No, dumbass, it was hers. Despite all the training she was afforded, she always knew better. If she had been anyone else, she would have been gone before I got hurt. I listened to the captain and didn’t boot her when I should have. It is my deepest regret because of what it caused for you, but you have to let it go. It has colored every decision you’ve made. You’ve judged every woman by the way she screwed you up. Remington deserves the man I know you are—not the one you judge yourself to be.”

Bear made it sound so easy, but he’d carried the load a long time. He honestly couldn’t remember a time when he didn’t have the weight on his shoulders.
