Twenty

That kiss.

With that one kiss, he’d felt hope. Hope that he could heal the trauma of the past.

Ethan was tired of it all. Tired of the years of hurting, He’d never really gotten her out of his system. He just thought he had. Now he saw possibility. The possibility that he could finally put all this bullshit behind him and move on.

Becca wanted the same; he’d seen it in her eyes, the way her body softened and welcomed him. She’d wanted that kiss as much as he had, despite what she’d said.

But she was headstrong, and her stubborn head governed her body.

So much had passed in the intervening years, the likelihood that it was now too late was a bitter reality. His fingernails dug into his palms. It couldn’t be too late. After everything they’d endured at the beginning of their adult lives, there had to be hope for resolution between them. And more.

He’d give her time and space, he’d waited all this time already. It wouldn’t kill him to wait a little longer.

Avoiding eye contact Ethan paced into the kitchen. Preacher was already there, his nose buried in his laptop. He grunted when Ethan entered the room, and Ethan left it at that. He had no wish to engage the man. Conversation with the prickly scientist would likely end in him wanting to punch him in the face. Ethan ate silently, drinking a glass of water to wash down a sandwich. The bread and meat stuck in his throat. He wasn’t really hungry, but he forced it down anyway, he needed something in his stomach to keep his energy up.

He was nearly finished when Cade came into the small room and started banging around. “Where do they keep the damn coffee?”

Preacher pointed to a small canister marked ‘coffee’ on the counter.

“Thanks.” Cade shot Preacher a cautious look and picked up the tin. “Finn says he’s making good progress on the Lady. He’s roped Nik and Dr. Vincent into giving him a hand. I think Finn’s pretty tickled to have a lady engineer on board for a change.”

“I bet.” Ethan drank some water. “How’s it going with the hard drives?”

Cade picked a mug. “Done. It’s a ton of crap. I’ve had to take every hard drive Redd had access to. There’s no way of knowing which computer the research is locked in.”

Ethan swallowed his last bite of sandwich. “So you’re free to help me sort out restraints for Redd. Can’t have him losing it on the way home.”

Cade shoveled heaped spoonfuls of instant coffee into a mug. “Aren’t we just going to tie him up with a shitload of rope on the Lady?”

“Sadly, no.”

Ethan counted as Cade spooned in five teaspoons of sugar. “Want some coffee with that?”

“Perfect beverage. Better than Dr. Johnson makes.” Cade smirked and ripped open a fresh box of artificial creamer.

“She made you coffee?”

“Yes.” Cade pulled a face. “Damn well near killed me.”

Ethan smiled. Some things hadn’t changed. “She’ll save your life but after she’ll offer you coffee that’ll finish you off.
