Chapter Three

Samantha found Adam sitting at the kitchen table, coffee mug in hand, while perusing a magazine. A million thoughts tumbled through her brain; she eyed him warily for a moment before pushing through the cafe doors and ultimately decided on the direct approach. “Exactly why did you come out here today? I’m sure you have other places to be, other things to do, other people to see.”

“Honestly, I felt bad about my behavior yesterday,” Adam answered warmly. “The judge just gave me directions.” Suddenly his lips quirked. “Besides, you intrigue me.”

“I intrigue you?” Her eyes widened. “What an odd thing to say. Why?”

“I’m not quite sure…yet.”

She shook her head, totally dumbfounded. “I am hardly the intriguing type. I know who I am; I know what I can do, and what I can’t do. I lead a very simple life. Busy, but simple.”

His eyes stayed on her face. “Simple? I beg to differ. How did you get involved with Freddie and the Wounded Warrior Project? It was the main topic at dinner last night, much to Janine’s horror.” At her deep, rich laugh, he felt that odd pain in his chest again. If he hadn’t had a complete physical just a few weeks ago, he’d be calling 911!

“I seem to give Janine the vapors a lot!” Samantha leaned against the kitchen counter, one bare foot balanced on the other. “I met Freddie in rehab, more correctly, water physical therapy. I was in a bad auto accident two years ago. Drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into two other cars then mine.” She looked away from his inquiring eyes. “I didn’t react fast enough, I was upset about…” Sam shook off her memories, and then continued.

“Anyway, we had the same therapist, Turk too. We were all divers and we just clicked. They told me about the project and the fact that the unemployment rate for veterans was staggering. My father had worked security up at Lebanon Valley Speedway and I knew people there. Those guys can fix anything with a motor; they just listen to an engine and know. So it was a match made in heaven, well a part-time heaven, they needed more.” Sam grinned.

“When I first started working for the judge, he spent most of his time swearing at his very expensive import and yelling at the dealer. I introduced him to Freddie; he didn’t even blink at his appearance, Turk’s tattoo’s either.” Her eyebrow arched at Adam’s sudden contrite expression. “The rest as they say is history. Their auto prowess spread, I think most of the city cops and the state police use them for their personal cars. Katherine worked on the contract proposal with me for the country club repair center and business is booming. Meaning more vets get hired. The same with Finch and his security services.”

“I plan on looking into it.”

She studied the planes and angles of his face. He was very handsome, in a rough sort of way. It was probably the sexy stubble…her brain skidded to a halt.
