“Yes ma’am…”
He turned back towards the front, letting his head sag slightly as he groaned in appreciation of her tending to his shoulders. She smiled to herself and continued the ministrations silently, just grateful to be here with him as she gazed at the counter, realizing it was done… and she couldn’t have done any of this without him.
“Why don’t you come over Thursday morning for brunch – and spend the entire day with me instead?” she asked softly. “I want to see you and I’m going to miss your smile… besides, Yam will want someone to tear up with those little claws of his.”
Kyle chuckled softly, before turning slightly to look up at her. He took her hand from his shoulder and pressed a kiss on her palm, before nodding.
“Yes, ma’am…” he replied softly, and she smiled at him.

“Awww nawwww…. Guys? Really?!” Kyle groaned pointedly as he climbed in the truck and listened to the call overhead before Justin tore out of the building. The man only had one speed: emergency.

“That’s not even funny…”
“She doesn’t ask for anyone else, Rimes.”
“Maybe I remind her of her grandson?”
“I heard she’s a cougar…”
“You’re sick, Andy.”
“Nahhh… Austin would marry her.”
“No, I wouldn’t. She scares me, too,” Austin said wide-eyed, and then winked. “And you know I would date any female…”
“WE KNOW!” all of them yelled in unison, including Justin from the driver’s seat as they pulled to a stop. “Kyle, you’re up…”
