Gideon turned his head to hide his smile. There weren’t dogs, just vivid memories of some of his and Jesse’s games. He had a sudden certainty that he knew exactly what they were going to be doing once they got home.


When they reached Emma’s apartment building, she stopped Jess from killing the engine by reaching across and resting her small hand on his forearm. “It’s okay,” she said and nodded toward the outline of a man approaching in the headlights. “Ethan’s already here.”


Ethan opened Emma’s door wearing the big smile that Jesse always referred to as shit-eating-grin-number-twelve.He greeted Emma with a kiss to the cheek, and then extended his hand to Jesse.


“It’s good to see you, Jess. I keep telling Emma that we need to invite you for dinner.”


“Yes, we’ll have to do that,” Jesse said, shaking his hand politely.


Ethan nodded at Gideon. “And how have you been?”


Gideon’s gaze was unwavering. “I’m hungry.”
