CHAPTER NINE

The past two days had been a flurry of activity for Victor, but he was glad he and Monica had some time together each night when he finished work for the day. But this evening found him hanging out with the SEAL team he had been learning from all week once more. The team’s leader, Matthew “Wolf” Steel, had invited him to a barbecue at his house for the evening. It was a potluck and he had volunteered to pick up drinks since he couldn’t cook something for the group from his hotel.

“Have you heard anything from Cookie about Fiona?” Monica asked. She’d been spending her afternoons with Julie, but neither of them had gotten word from Fiona about what had happened at the luncheon at the Riverton Golf Club.

She’d been asking Victor every day, but he didn’t want to bring it up to Cookie. When Monica told him about what happened at the luncheon he had been blown away by the revelation that Fiona’s father was a congressman.

Victor didn’t blame the man for wanting to know his child. Family was the most important thing. He also felt bad for the man who had never been informed that he had a daughter to begin with. He had lost so much time. Secrets like this could destroy people and he was glad the man had come forward as soon as he had put two and two together. He hoped for Percy Reynolds’ sake that Fiona would come around and want to get to know her father. He was happy he had some news to share this day. “Actually yes. Cookie did mention that Fiona had questions and was going to call him. I think she was going to ask you and Julie to go with her tomorrow when she sees you both this evening at the potluck.”

Monica was relieved. “Oh, wonderful. And Julie will be so relieved. She was really blaming herself for letting Fiona walk into that without any kind of preparation. ”

“She couldn’t have known what would happen.” It had been seriously bad timing on the congressman’s part, but he didn’t know the background there.

“I know and I told her that, but when it comes to Fiona, Julie hangs on to guilt like a shield. She told me she even yelled at her father for not preparing her ahead of time for the big secret that was about to be exposed. Her dad knows what Fiona has been through and he knows Julie blames herself for a lot of it.”

“I hope she made up with her father. Us guys, we don’t talk like you ladies do, but from what I have picked up on from working with these guys this week is that Fiona has recovered and doesn’t blame Julie for what happened in the past any longer.”

Monica chewed on that for a moment. “Well, you and I both know the only way to clear up any kind of miscommunication is to talk it out. And I don’t think those girls have ever done that.
