Tallis raced home faster than he really should have with an inexperienced rider on the back of the bike. Had Melody not been so tight against him, it was like she was glued there, he might have slowed down. But like the horsewoman she was and the natural rider she was turning out to be, they had moved like one. He couldn’t wait to get her inside and see if that connection continued on the dance floor. If he was honest with himself, he wanted to see if it continued other places as well, and knew he’d been wise to not only bring her home but make sure his nosy little sister was up keeping an eye on them.

While he’d never been tempted to even want to take a woman to his bed before wedding vows were said, he was honest enough with himself to know this woman would be a temptation till those vows were said, because in his heart and mind he’d already said them. With her declaration at Fazio’s tonight he felt like she’d said them too, and while in her day that said in public and then taking her to bed would have been enough, he was teaching her to live in his day and age and while acceptable in most circles, it wasn’t in his family’s. Their faith and commitment to godly living was one reason they all felt that God continued to bless their family with the Calling’s that defined their lives and service to God, family and others.

His cousin Samuel never missed a shot, much like Nathan Ryder in days of lore had done and no one was quicker on the trigger. It had made him the expert sniper he’d been in the Navy and now as a military contractor. While all the Ryders were quick and accurate, Sam’s was unnaturally so. He also had never hit an innocent target. There were times that his refusal to take a shot had angered his commanders but every time he’d been proven correct that the person they thought they were targeting wasn’t that person. His brother, Bartholomew, had more confirmed rescues as a coast guard rescue swimmer than any swimmer before or since and now as a paramedic for New York city, he seemed to be at the right place at the right time to save lives there as well. Their sister, Hannah; well, she was the most decorated female U.S. Marshal ever, again stopping crimes and saving lives with what her superiors called a supernatural ability. All of them good Christians, living the life God had called them to. While Tallis and his siblings had taken less flashy career paths, they had indeed kept the Ryder tradition of honor and righteousness alive as well as helping the family stay prosperous and successful. There was no way that Tallis would put his Calling in jeopardy but again, he was glad he had Sara here and realized that his brother Nate had realized the need before he had.
