Military Man's Second Chance Chapter Nineteen
“Are you hungry? You must be. I noticed you hardly ate anything in the cafeteria last night,” Tim observed as they walked hand-in-hand into his apartment’s small kitchen the next morning.“I am, actually, now that you mention it. What did you have in mind?”“Well, I have this excellent recipe for omelets, if you’re interested.”Sarah smiled at the memory he’d invoked.“Got you hooked on them, huh?”“And how,” he agreed, pulling out ingredients.“But mine never taste as good as that first one you made me.”She giggled, and the sound pierced his core. He abruptly set down the items he’d gathered up, moved around the counter, took her in his arms, and kissed her passionately.“I missed that,” he murmured. “Hearing your voice. Hearing your giggle. Holding you close to me. I missed us.”“Me too,” she sighed, laying her head on his chest.He reluctantly turned her loose so he could cook them breakfast.As he did, they began to talk. Sarah filled him in on her life since the last time they’d

Sarah veered off sharply to the right and headed into the ladies’ room to pull herself together.I can’t let Karli see me like this. She’s got enough to worry about right now.She stooped low over the sink, cupping water in her hands and splashing her face, then stood upright and gazed at herself in the mirror, her red-rimmed eyes widening with realization.Wait just a damn minute. I wrote him at least twenty letters. If he was as heartbroken as he claims, then how come he never wrote back?“This isn’t over,” she whispered to her reflection.She rolled her shoulders to try and dissipate some of the tension that had formed there. Then she dried her face with a paper towel, flung open the door and stepped back out into the hallway.And was immediately swept into Tim’s embrace, his mouth crushing hers with all the pent-up passion of the last three years. Her heart leapt with joy, and she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him in more closely and returning the fiery kiss as he backed he

It was all he could do not to grab her, kiss her, and never let go.Not the right time or place, he reminded himself. This is about Jordan and Karli right now. But we’re damn sure going to talk before either of us leaves here.He sharpened his focus as Sarah asked, “What happened?”Her voice… it’s as sweet as I remember... I missed hearing her voice so much.But he kept his attention focused on Karli as they walked down the hall, leading them to the elevator. As they moved, he explained the night’s events that had led to Jordan’s injury, then slipped an arm around Karli when she went pale and began to sway.He guided them off the elevator and to the right, where a room of police officers and firemen waited for word on Jordan’s condition. Tim saw Karli seated, then moved to the desk to ask for an update. He noticed Dan walk over and squat down in front of her.That’s good, he thought. He’ll be able to calm her down, so she doesn’t go into labor early.And he took a moment to stare at t

It was almost midnight before the second movie wrapped up, and Sarah and Karli were both yawning as the credits began to roll.“Okay, I’m headed to bed. Long day tomorrow,” Sarah told her.“See you in the morning,” Karli said cheerfully, and waddled down the hall to her room.Sarah turned off the TV, placed the DVDs back in their appropriate slots in her alphabetized collection, carried the empty popcorn bowl and candy wrappers to the kitchen, then headed for bed.As she brushed her hair and then her teeth, she reflected on the fact that within the next twenty-four hours she’d be alone again in her apartment. The thought did not appeal.I am so happy for Karli, I truly am, she told her reflection. I just wish I could find that, too.Sighing, she changed into her pajamas, then turned off the light and climbed into bed. She snuggled down underneath her blanket and willed her mind to think of anything but Tim. But it wouldn’t cooperate at first.She finally was able to drift off around o

The next two months found Sarah and Karli settled into a natural rhythm as roommates. Sarah realized how lonely she’d sometimes been before Karli moved in, and she was grateful her best friend was now just down the hall instead of across town.They shared a love for romantic comedy movies, so they developed a Friday night routine that Karli dubbed ‘chocolate and chick flick’ night. Jodie would sometimes join them, and the three would talk and giggle until the wee hours of Saturday morning.“She is such a sweet woman,” Karli said of Jodie after one such evening.“She really is,” Sarah agreed. “She was the first person I met in Arlington, and she’s been my rock.”“She’s good people, as my dad would say,” Karli grinned.“Yep. Hey, I’m turning in.”“See you in the morning,” Karli said as she attempted to leverage herself off of the couch.Sarah snorted.“Having issues?”“Help,” Karli laughed, holding out her hands, and between the two of them working at it she was finally standing upright

“So, I ran into Jordan in the park. We’re going out to dinner,” Karli told her over the phone the following week.“That’s good. You need to get out of the house once in a while,” Sarah chided. “Get some air.”“Yeah,” Karli agreed, then said, “Oh, that’s the doorbell. He’s here. Call you when I get back?”“Sure,” Sarah replied, and hung up.I need to organize another girl trip, even if it’s just a weekend away, Sarah realized. She could use the break.She opened her laptop and began a Google search using the term ‘weekend getaways within three hours of DFW,’ then began scrolling through the results and fine-tuning her planning.Before Sarah even realized it, two and a half hours had passed. She’d settled on three possible destinations; now, she needed to run them by Karli.She dialed her best friend’s number and waited.“Sarah,” Karli said with a tremble.“Oh, honey. You don’t sound okay. Need me to come over?”Within five minutes, Sarah was in her car, armed with the one thing that al
