Things had slowly changed since the night I confessed my feelings to Ellie.It felt like we were more of a union now. More a family.Pride burned in my eyes as I pictured them before I left for work that morning.Ellie was wearing a pair of stretchy jeans and a fuzzy gray sweater, and Sammy was getting ready to visit the preschool we were looking to send him to starting that January since he missed the fall semester.Ellie and I had spent a few days researching programs we felt would be good for him, and today was the first interview.I was meeting them there at ten o’clock, but I had to handle some things first at work.My phone buzzed, and I looked down, frowning when I saw the contact.It was a message from the Sigma International bodyguard I’d enlisted to tail Gary Peters after our little meeting.The motherfucker had given him the slip.Fuck.“Morning, cousin,” Marat said, walking into my office.“Morning,” I replied, eyeing him warily.Still known as the face of Volko

We pulled up to the playground just as I caught sight of Ellie running. I jumped out of the car, chasing after my wife.I yelled. I know I did. But she didn’t or couldn’t hear me.Fear like I’d never known pumped through my veins.When I rounded the squat brick building and saw Gary with a gun aimed at my son. All rationale left my brain.Pure, undiluted fury moved faster than lightning, louder than thunder, consuming me until I was a living, breathing personification of vengeance.Ellie charged at Gary, and that piece of shit dropped Sammy onto the ground.I ran.I wasn’t going to get there in time.Fuck.I flicked my gaze at Ellie, knowing what she would want, and wishing like fuck I could tear myself in two.I reached Sammy first.“You’re okay,” I said as I clutched him to my chest.Adrik, Marat, and Josef were right behind me, and I looked up to find the latter sliding to a stop beside me just as a gunshot rang out.I handed Sammy to Josef and spun around, my heart in

“Happy Birthday, Nana!” Sammy yelled and helped my mother to blow out the candles on her cake.I held my son up so he could reach them, but I looked at Ellie, catching the joy on her face as she snapped pictures. She smiled at me from her place next to Gabby, Mom’s best friend, and the woman Ellie once thought I might be cheating on her with.It wasn’t funny at the time, but once Ellie saw the elderly woman with gray curls sitting in her wheelchair with a crocheted lap blanket spread across her, along with a dozen knitting projects, my wife had blushed adorably.“Okay, does everyone have room for cake?” Mom asked, and a round of deep masculine yeses went around the room.I was surprised when Adrik, Marat, Josef, and their families had said yes after Ellie insisted that I invite them to Mom’s birthday. It was the Saturday right after Thanksgiving, and I expected them to be tuckered out.We’d spent half the holiday at Adrik’s and Sofia’s and the other half with Mom and her friends.
