“Hey! You made it!” Matt practically yells at me when I walk into the bar. “Wasn’t sure we were going to see you again after the wedding or if you’d be taking off for Arizona.”

“I told you already, we’re going to be in town for another couple days. I’ve got a lot of people I’d like to catch up with, and Nyssa doesn’t mind the vacation.”

“How’s she been doing?” Jace asks. “She looks great.”

“Getting better by the day,” I tell him. “She’s in therapy and trying to get back into her work as best she can. Still dealing with PTSD and survivor’s guilt considering her friend didn’t make it out of there, but she’s doing what she can to work through it.”

“Definitely feel where she’s coming from,” Matt chimes in.

It’s the day after Drew’s wedding, and I’m meeting the guys for a beer at the bar just down the street from the hotel where Nyssa and I are staying.

We had spent most of the day sightseeing, and she was tired. After several busy days, she was happy to take me up on the suggestion that she go to bed early.

“I’m going to head down to the bar and hang out with the boys,” I told her.

She already knew that I’d made tentative plans with the guys for tonight, so she was fine with my announcement.

“I’ll text you if I wind up being out late,” I told her as I kissed her goodbye. “I’m planning on being back around ten.”

“Don’t hurry back on my account,” she told me. “I want you to have the time to spend time with your friends. I know it’s always a shot in the dark of when you’ll see them again.”

“Right, but I don’t want you to feel like I’m abandoning you.”

“I don’t.”

“I love you.”

“Love you, too,” she said.

I really can’t put into words how much I appreciate Nyssa, especially her understanding of my desire to spend time with my guys while we’re here.

“Hey man, you talking about your girlfriend? The girl you helped in Mexico?” Mac asks. His shepherd black lab mix comes over to greet me, and I bend over to pet him vigorously as I reply to Mac.

“Yeah,” I say to Mac before addressing his dog. “Hey there, Gunner! How’s my favorite badass soldier? How are you, boy? Who’s a good boy? Is your subordinate handler behaving?” I talk to Gunner in my dog voice as I indirectly fuck with Mac about the fact that military K-9s are automatically NCOs and are always one rank higher than their handlers.

Mac laughs and Gunner’s whole body wags – not just his tail – elated that he got attention before Mac has him return to his place under our table. I’m not surprised the bar turned a blind eye to the fact he’d brought his dog along. It’s obvious we’re military, and I’m sure they either assumed he was a service dog or a working dog. Which, he is a very capable and decorated working dog.
