Chapter 100

Karsyn

Today must be the day for facing fears and coming out on the other side, because I’m doing something I never thought I’d do: I’m walking my parents over to where Tucker stands and I’m going to introduce them.

This reminds me of when we were first together. There was no way we would be in this situation. He wouldn’t have allowed it, and I’m not sure I would have subjected him to it, but now? After everything that’s happened today, I want him to meet them. I want them to know I’m in good hands, and what a great guy he is.

“Tucker.” I reach out, taking his hand in mine when I get close enough. “I’d like for you to meet my parents, Melinda and Pruitt Fallaway.”

My heart literally could burst out of my chest when I hear them exchange pleasantries.

“You’re a K-9 Officer?” my dad asks, his voice all tough and full of gravel in his throat.
