~ was sure that I would given your high opinion, I might just have a new place to dedicate some funds. I hadn't known you for too long, but it was enough to know you didn't easily get swayed by anything.*

Just promise me one thing. You're not the one who makes the coffee for the shelter? Amara ~

~ type to get too jealous.

I was, but I wasn't. The situation remained to be seen.

But, I was curious about this GEM Shelter. One of the few pleasures I took in life was giving back to those like me and I had the good fortune to have the ability to be able to do so. If I liked what I saw, and I ~

I can respect a woman like that. *And no, it didn't go unnoticed that my question about you and Amara dating went unanswered. It said more than you intended, or maybe that was your intention. Either way, it wasn't my place to pry. I didn't exactly have any kind of claim on you. I also wasn't the ~

~ surprised you say she doesn't get a lot of assistance. I'd think New York was teeming with Vets who were willing to help out. Although, times are tough, so that does affect a lot of charities and outreach programs pretty hard.

*I headed towards the door, waiting there for you to join me.*

~ turn of events. It seemed like you had a boyish crush on this mysterious woman. I couldn't wait to meet her and see what kind of woman she was for myself.

I grabbed my bag off the chair, always ready with a spare change of clothes and necessities, and slung the strap over my shoulder.*

I'm ~
August 23, 2025 at 2:13 AM
We should get going, then, right? You said the message sounded urgent?

*I don't think I'd seen this kind of excitement or energy from you in all the time I'd known you. You had the tendency to be a rather serious, focused kind of man and now, you seemed much younger. This was an intriguing ~

~ for the shelter? I’m used to these places having pretty standard menus, not too many surprises.
August 23, 2025 at 1:29 AM
~ knifes and blades, the addition of my leather jacket hiding my smaller firearms that I carried as a standard precaution. Most women spent their time on beauty and hair, mine was on weaponry. I rejoined you in the main room of the apartment, ready to go.*

Do you have a regular order to pick up ~

~ minutes, hair as dry as I ever took it with the machine and makeup in place. I had a few new scars I preferred to cover up just so I didn’t have to worry about drawing attention. The fewer identifying marks I had to the outside world, the better.

Then, it was a matter of adding my usual ~
August 23, 2025 at 1:29 AM
*I popped my head back out, hair dryer in hand with my thumb waiting to flick the switch on.* Just curious, did you and this Amara ever date or anything?

*I waited all of a handful of seconds before switching the dryer on and disappearing to finish my morning routine. It would only take a few ~

~ near my place in New Orleans. Might give me something to do in my downtime while I'm here.

*I got up off the couch, heading towards the bathroom.* Is this a meeting where we need to be armed or is this a friendly kind of thing? Hope for the best, expect the worst?
August 23, 2025 at 1:10 AM
~ I don't look like a drowned rat when I step outside. *I laughed, only just realizing the state I was in. Usually, I was better about being ready for the day much earlier but I had lingered in the shower longer than I should have.* I also want to check out this shelter. I used to volunteer at one ~
August 23, 2025 at 1:10 AM
I definitely need to meet her now. It takes a special kind of someone to keep you in line. I know from personal experience. *I could hear the echoes of memories in your voice, along with the vast amount of respect you clearly held for this woman.* I need a few minutes to finish getting ready so I ~

August 23, 2025 at 12:39 AM
~ would be rude to disappear for a few minutes.*

Amara Williams, huh? Pretty name. Should I go with you or is this something you need to do on your own?

*I took another sip of the coffee, watching you over the rim of the cup. The full name treatment of the woman made her sound important but it ~

~ restaurants.

*I let the door close behind me, pulling the damp towel off my shoulders to take into the bathroom to hang it up so it could dry. I came back just a moment later to sit down on the couch. I needed the coffee before I could finish getting ready for the day and you were here so it ~
August 23, 2025 at 12:39 AM
I've been around you long enough now to recognize when you want something.

*I looked down at the coffee in my hand, a crooked smile tugging at the corner of my lips.*

It didn't smell charred. That explains it.

GEM Shelter? I think I've seen a few flyers for it around at some of the local ~

~ could prepare with absolute finesse, I raised a brow in question.

“Or is more of a bribe? Something up?”
August 23, 2025 at 12:05 AM
~ “You come bearing gifts.”

I let the towel hang around my shoulders, reaching for and taking a mug from you, relishing the warmth in my palms. I couldn’t help but notice the ghost of concern on your face, though. After I took a sip of the coffee, one of the only forms of food I’d learned that ~
August 23, 2025 at 12:05 AM
~ pull on a pair of jeans and one of my favorite olive green t-shirts, still towel-drying my hair when I heard the taps at the door. It wasn’t as if anyone in this city knew who I was or where I currently lived so it could really only be one person.

I smelled the coffee before I opened the door. ~
August 23, 2025 at 12:05 AM
~ gentleman had left my circadian rhythm rather out of sync. I tossed back the sheets and slipped out of bed, settling into an old familiar Yoga routine to stretch my muscles and loosen my joints.

Soon enough, it was off to the shower, thoughts of coffee already stirring in my head. I’d barely ~

*Sunrise had come and with it, an annoying strip of light that had managed to settle right over my eyes where the curtains didn’t quite close all the way. I only had myself to blame, really, as I left it that was as my own version of an alarm clock. All these flights and late nights with a certain ~
