Matt Alvarez leaned back in the oversized Adirondack chair. He paid no
attention to the unobstructed view of Puget Sound. Ignored the blue
skies and the crisp breeze that whipped around him. He focused solely on
his phone. Or rather, the email that he’d fired off moments earlier.
Holy fuck. What had he just done?
His fingers itched to call his captain, to tell the man who’d become a
mentor and friend to disregard the email. Say he wasn’t going to retire, after
all. That he’d changed his mind and was still a detective with the Seattle
Police Department.
Instead, Matt took a steadying breath. Then exhaled. He repeated the
movements a few times until he recognized the tingling in his belly.
Beneath that initial panic was something he didn’t want to acknowledge,
didn’t want to admit.
Relief.
Knowing he no longer had to go back to Seattle, back to his old life,
was a fucking relief. But one that shamed and embarrassed him. Getting
shot had changed him in more ways than one.
Physically? Well, fuck. He’d worked damn hard to get back into shape.
Some would say he was in better condition now than when he’d been on the
force. And they wouldn’t be wrong. He’d added twenty pounds of muscle,
and his cardio fitness was ridiculous. However, he had lingering nerve
damage in his right hand. It wasn’t enough to sideline him from work, but it
was enough to bother him.
Mentally? To put it simply, the shooting and the aftermath of it all had
fucked with his head. Big-time. And unlike his body, his mind was still a
work in progress. It didn’t help that, while he’d still been in the hospital
recovering from his gunshot wound, his personal life had imploded in a
horribly spectacular manner.
Bitterness burned in Matt’s chest, and he shook his head. To say that
he’d been working through some serious anger issues over the last year was
a gross understatement.
The forced downtime had made him take a step back and reevaluate. He
loved what he did. Truly. Investigative work got his blood pumping. There
was nothing quite like the rush of the chase, of catching those who thought
they were above the law, of bringing justice to the victims who’d been
wronged. But the longer he’d been away, the less sure he’d become about
wanting to go back down that bureaucratic, red-taped path.
His finger hovered over the phone icon. With another shake of his head,
he sighed and flipped his phone so it was face-down on the chair’s arm.
At last, Matt took in the view. Mid-June in the Pacific Northwest was
picturesque. The sun was shining and the dark waters of Puget Sound
glimmered. Soft white caps dotted the horizon, and as he watched the
churning of the sea, the tension in his chest released. God, he loved this
place.
After getting shot, he’d undergone two surgeries and had been
hospitalized for two weeks. After his release, his twin brother, Jake, and
Jake’s then-girlfriend, Carmen, had insisted he stay with them. So he had. It
was safe to say Matt hadn’t been the best roommate, but his brother had
stuck by him.
