(Exclusive to the Valentine, Pets & Kisses Box Set)
Tension stiffened Debra’s back, but she smiled at the men,
two of whom she recognized. “What can I get for you?”
“Five medium coffees for the boys down at the house.” Jack
Landon leaned against the counter, flexing an impressive bicep. He was
obviously on duty even though he wore street clothes; firefighting in a small
town like Havre de Grace was a casual sort of thing.
“Didn’t know it took three grown men to buy five coffees,”
she teased as she filled the order.
“Wanted to show the new guy the town.” Jack jabbed his
finger over his shoulder at the tall young man standing behind him. “Sean Orr.
He’s taking Larry’s place.”
“Hey.” Debra flashed him a dimpled smile. She estimated his
age as mid-twenties, a good eight years younger than she was. “Welcome to Havre
de Grace.” She set four cups in a cup holder made of recycled paper and then
placed the fifth cup in the middle. “Will that be all, or would you like
anything else?”
Ray Peterson, the third firefighter, pushed past Sean and
Jack and rested both elbows on the table. He leaned forward, and Debra
retreated from his leer even though her cleavage was concealed behind her
turtleneck sweater. Ray chuckled as if he sensed her unease and pressed out his
cheek with his tongue. “Do you want to come over this weekend? It’s cold out;
great night for keeping warm together.”
“Aren’t you and Andrea still together?”
“She’s out of town this weekend. Perfect, you know, for
you.” Ray snorted, the sound derisive.
Jack laughed and elbowed Ray. “Let’s get out of here, man,
before the coffees get cold.” He led the way out of the store, but amid the
quiet chatter of surrounding conversations, Debra heard Sean ask quietly,
“What’s her name?”
Ray’s answer slapped her moments before the door slammed
shut on their voices. “She’s the other woman.”
