EPILOGUE

The entire rest of the United States was having a wretchedly awful heat wave, but San Diego remained a perfect seventy-five degrees.

P.J. glanced at Harvard as he slowed his truck to a stop at a traffic light. He turned and smiled at her, and the last of the tension from the plane flight floated away. God, she hated flying. But this trip was definitely going to be worth the anxiety she’d suffered. This was day one of a greatly needed two-week vacation.

And she was spending every single minute of those two weeks with Daryl Becker.

It had been close to three weeks since she’d seen him last, since they’d returned to the USS Irvin on board a French medical helicopter. Bobby and Wes had arrived at the ship several hours later, dragging Chuck Schneider along behind them.

They’d spent the next three days in debriefings—all except Joe Cat, Lucky and Greg Greene, who had been sent to a hospital in California.

P.J. had slept in Harvard’s arms each of those nights. They’d been discreet, but the truth was, she really didn’t care what people thought. Not anymore. She would have walked naked through the enlisted mess if that was the only way she could have been with him.

When the debriefings were over, Harvard had flown to Coronado, while she’d been summoned for a series of meetings in Kevin Laughton’s office in Washington, D.C.

Kevin had been sympathetic about her need to take some time off, but he’d talked her into writing up her reports on the failed Combined SEAL/FInCOM team project first. And that had taken much longer than she’d hoped.

But now she was free and clear for two weeks. Fourteen days. Three hundred and thirty-six hours.

Harvard had met her at the gate, kissed her senseless and whisked her immediately into his truck.

“How’s Joe?” she asked.

“Great,” he told her. “He’s been home from the hospital for about a week. Lucky’s doing really well, too.”

“I’d like to visit them.” She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. “But definitely not until after we get naked—and stay naked for about three days straight.”

He laughed. “Damn, I missed you,” he told her, drinking her in with his gaze.

She knew she was looking at him just as hungrily. He was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and even dressed in civilian clothes, he was impossibly handsome.

“I missed you, too.” Her voice was husky with desire. As he gazed into her eyes, she let him see the fire she felt for him.

“Hmm,” he said. “Maybe we should go straight to my apartment.”

“I thought you said there was something important you wanted to show me,” she teased.

“Its importance just dropped a notch or two. But since we’re already here…”

“We are?” P.J. looked out the window. They were on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood overlooking the ocean.

“I want you to check this out,” Harvard said. He climbed out of the truck, and P.J. joined him.

It was only then that she noticed the For Sale sign on the lawn of the sweetest-looking little adobe house she’d ever seen in her entire life.
