Hawk and Wolfe

“I did?” Mick smiled hopefully. “Another memory or just dumb luck?”


“I’d say a memory that resurfaced, even though you don’t remember specifically, if that makes sense.”


“Next thing you know you’ll be cooking cordon bleu recipes,” Shorty commented, smirking.


Richard laughed. “He never did before. I doubt he’ll start now.”


“True. I liked simple and healthy.” Mick realized yet another small memory had returned, which gave him hope that eventually his life would be back to normal.


“You did,” Richard replied, giving his hand a squeeze. “That’s why you hooked up with me.”


“Good lord,” Mick muttered. “You’re hardly simple, I don’t think. Healthy? I suppose it depends on your definition of the word.”


“I make sure we get plenty of exercise.” Richard winked.


“Guys, virgin ears here. Keep it clean.” Shorty grinned at them.


Mick and Richard laughed and they continued eating.
