Chapter 122

Noah touched Mason’s face, before Mason realized Noah had moved.

“What’s the matter?” Noah asked. “You look like you’ve just eaten a chicken a la king gone off.”

“Sorry. My mind slipped away for a second.”

“Where to?”

Mason didn’t want to share the truth, so he switched it up a bit. “Was thinking even though we’d be working together, we might not see much of each other.”

Noah head moved back and a frown marred his face. “What are you talking about?”

“There’s probably no guarantee we’d be on the same missions, and with you out in Seattle and me wherever I end up, we’re going to be in pretty much the same position we’re in right now.”

Noah’s smile lit up the room. “Is that really what made you upset seconds ago?”

“Well, yeah. I kind of like having you around.”
