Bending The Rules
Joe grinned at Sam as they locked the gate behind their final client for the day. âThat was a great session.â A group of former marines had decided to create a bodyguard company down in LA. Todayâs lessons had varied from situational awareness in urban settings to drills on reacting to an ambush to his presentation on how to talk down attackers. The group had also booked the following day with Graham and Flynn out at Midnight Runway to focus on driving techniques and detecting vehicular sabotage.
The group had taken the lessons seriously and asked good questions. Theyâd had fun with the active drills and there was nothing like pretending to be the wannabe kidnapper with a bunch of marines on your ass.
Sam grinned. âIt was. And you could be doing this every day. You ready to commit yet?â
Joe nodded. âMaybe. I donât want to make a permanent decision when Iâm so worn down from the past couple of assignments though. I canât tell if Iâm tired of the job and ready to dive into something new or if Iâm just tired.â
His buddy patted him on the shoulder. âIt has to be the right time. Give yourself some space to not think about it. Enjoy your land and having your family around you. And your woman.â
Joe snorted out a laugh. âMy woman?â
Sam grinned. âYep. I donât think Tansy had any intention of match-making when she asked you to pick Lia up at the airport, but it looks like itâs working out between you two.â
Joe shrugged. âSheâs really great. She makes me happier than Iâve been in a long time.â
Sam raised his eyebrows. âYour words are good. Your tone tells me youâre worried.â
Another shrug. âA bit. My feelings are pretty intense for how little time weâve spent together. I donât know if theyâre tied up with the shit that went down in Atlanta and my feelings about the job.â
Sam grunted. âIf it helps, Iâve never seen you this happy with anyone. Ever. I like her. Sheâs been through some heavy stuff, but sheâs not wallowing. Sheâs focused on finding a way to keep busy instead of just sitting around feeling sorry for herself.â
âWeâve got an appointment in a bit to check out some of the buildings in town. She wants to investigate whether she could turn one into a health center for the town.â
Sam grinned widely. âNice. She planning on doing the local doctor thing?â
âSheâs qualified and interested, but not licensed in Vermont yet. Weâll see how it goes when we meet up with Troy.â
He and Sam jogged back to the Lodge and he showered before knocking on Liaâs door. She was curled up in the armchair in front of the window working on a laptop. His entire body lit up just seeing her so at home here. His heart lit up too.
She smiled at him and he walked over and squatted down beside the chair so he could kiss her. âHowâs it going?â
âBetter now.â Then she kissed him again.
