Game(64)

“And what about the family stuff?” Shayna asked. “If they don’t find her…”

I looked at Shayna. “I told Mara I’m not killing Sasha. I never will. I said I’d check it out and report back. I did. I said she was there. That’s where my job ends.”

“It’s all a game to you,” Shayna said.

“Yes, it is. The greatest game ever, sweetie. It’s you, me, and Cormac. Now and forever.”

“So this was the point of the road trip?”

“Kind of, yeah. Sorry.”

“So where do we go now?” she asked.

I put a hand to her face and leaned in and kissed her. I licked my lips and groaned. “It doesn’t matter, sweetie. I’ve seen hell and I’ve experienced heaven. Everything in between is just space. But as long as you’re next to me, the game never ends.”

I kissed her again. And again. And again.

Our son, resting in the backseat, let out a deep sigh. He mustn’t have liked to see his parents kissing.

Get used to it… I’d never stop loving or kissing Shayna until the game was over.
