Dash
“Hey, True, it’s Dash. I have a job for you.” My eyes drift over to Jenna, the look of relief on her face makes me want to wrap her in my arms and never let her go.
Is this the instalove attraction my parents always talked about?
It has to be. How can I go from barely knowing someone a few hours ago to wanting to make her the center of my universe? She’s strong, sassy, and sexy as hell.
“I kind of have my hands full right now.” True says, but I refuse to give up for Jenna’s sake.
“It’s really important. My girlfriend’s sister ran away from her own wedding ten days ago and is out there somewhere, and she hasn’t contacted her family.
” I watch Jenna’s eyes go wide as I call her my girlfriend.
She’ll figure it out soon enough. I can feel the attraction between us—she has to feel it, too.
True is a former military man and bounty hunter. At thirty-eight, he retired to an isolated cabin in the mountains but still takes the occasional tracking job.
“Did you say, ‘runaway bride’?” True hesitates. “Can you describe her?”
I give True the name and description of Jenna’s sister, as Jenna described her to me, and relay the story of her running out on her own wedding.
“Do you think you can help us?” I look at Jenna’s hopeful face, and I know there is nothing I won’t do to help her find her lost sister.
“I think I already have what you’re looking for.” True says.
“What? You have Journee?”
“Yeah, I found Goldilocks sleeping in my bed a couple of days ago. She’s refusing to leave.”
I smile, thinking Jenna’s sister is just as stubborn as she is. “That sounds about right.”
Jenna rushes to my side, grabbing the phone. “Let me talk to Journee.” She says to True.
A wave of relief washes over me, now that I know Journee is safe with True, but another thought hits me just as hard. Now that Jenna has found Journee, she has no reason to stay with me.
