Chapter Thirteen
There were things in life that Sonya wished weren’t the way they were, but knew she couldn’t change. Watching Cody gathering up his fishing equipment wasn’t one of them. She liked the way he moved, so confident and sure of himself. That had to have taken months of rehab to accomplish, but he acted as if all he’d done since he’d left the service was drink and stay at home. She could watch him all day and still find something unique to only him.
“This is a nice place,” she offered.
He turned his head to give her a glance then scanned his home as if seeing it for the first time. “You think so?”
“I do,” she said, and walked over to the wall of pictures. His family and him as a small boy, then older all the way up to a recent photo of him. Or him in the service, she corrected. He had longer hair now—back then he wore it close like most military. “Ranger, I see, with some decorations on that chest,” she commented, wondering if he’d say more about that now.
“Yeah,” he muttered, but didn’t go on like some men would.
He’s not some men. Cody’s not like anyone else I’ve ever met.
“Where are your parents?” she asked, half afraid he’d say dead.
“My folks are in Florida. They split up when I was around ten and my dad moved to Florida, then my mom.”
“Together?” she asked and turned to see him watching her.
He grinned and shrugged. He did that a lot. “I don’t think so, but I don’t pry.”
“But you came here.”
“This was my grandpop’s before, so I stayed here with him,” he said as if that explained it.
Of course it didn’t. “So you grew up with…?”
“My grandpop. My folks kinda got busy down in Florida, and he was here, I liked it here, so I stayed with him.”
“And now,” she murmured, finding one picture of a younger Cody holding a fish near an older man with bushy white hair and a lean face. “Your grandpa is dead.”
“Yeah, he passed on some time ago. He lived to be ninety-three, though, so I have hopes. What about you? You from long-lived stock?”
“Stock?” she laughed. “I don’t know,” she added when he appeared curious. “I didn’t really know my father, and my mother remarried. We didn’t get on,” she said, simplifying her experiences that easily. “I don’t talk about it or think about the past. For me it’s in the past for a reason.”
He took the hint and nodded. “I see. Looking forward works for you.”
“Yes,” she said, surprised that he got it. “It does.”
That seemed to give him something to think about because he got quiet taking care of the fishing supplies, then packing ice in a chest and adding a few beers when she nodded. He didn’t add any whiskey and she didn’t see any about the place.
Surprisingly, the house was neat, even if a little dusty, but sparse. There was no lady’s touch here. A fireplace on
