As Oliver Parker raced down the street and neared the corner, the fastapproaching footsteps coming from the alley heightened his senses. The
injury to his knee was a reminder of why he left the Army and hoped it
wouldn’t give out now.
He rounded the end of the building and was suddenly struck from the
side by a flying figure hurtling toward him. A high-pitched squeal hit his
ears, and his arms instinctively wrapped around the person. Unable to keep
them from falling, he twisted his body midair to cushion the fall, landing on
the sidewalk with the other person on top. He continued to roll to pin them
underneath him, so he pressed their slight weight to the ground.
Straightening his elbows, he looked down, stunned to see that he
recognized the woman. His body was prone on top of hers, and even though
he’d taken the brunt of the blow from the fall, her delicate curves were now
trapped underneath him on the hard pavement.
Well, fuck… what the hell is she doing here?
SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER
“No, Mom, it’s fine. The woman needed to catch the flight to see her
grandkids, and I didn’t mind taking a later flight. Anyway, I got an upgrade
to first class. The new flight will leave in five hours.” Oliver Parker walked
along with the crowds of the Atlanta International Airport with his carry-on
bag slung over one shoulder and his phone clapped to his ear. He had just
left the gate of his arranged flight to California but was now headed to the
USO to kill time, get food, and maybe take a nap. “Yeah, I’ll see you all
tomorrow.”
“Are you going to come straight here?” his mother asked.
“Leo is picking me up, and he’ll drop me off at your place before he
heads home to Natalie.” As he talked, he looked up to see he had arrived at
his destination, and the USO’s sliding doors opened. Inside was a woman
with a USO volunteer badge pinned to her red apron. She turned to him
with a smile that seemed to light her whole face. He didn’t want to appear
rude, so he held up his forefinger. “Mom, listen, I’m at the USO now, so I’ll
see you tomorrow. Love you.”
“Okay, sweetheart. Dad and I can’t wait to see you. Safe travels.”
He met the USO volunteer’s smile with one of his own as he
disconnected and shoved his phone into his pocket. “Sorry about that. I
needed to let my—”
“No apology necessary! Mothers always worry, don’t they? How sweet
of you to let her know of your change in flight plans.”
He nodded and followed her to the check-in counter, wondering how
she knew about his flight change status. “Yes, ma’am.”
