Honor (46 page)

Life went on. Love had amazing power to heal.

Truck picked up on the excitement and edged between the three of them, blocking the hug about to happen.

“Routine sniff, Linc. He has final say,” Jim teased.

The black-and-white dog took his time about it. Then he sat down in front of Linc, brushing his tail across the floor in wide waves.

“He approves,” Kenzie said.

“Never argue with a good dog.” Jim laughed. “All right, you two. Get out of here. I have work to do.”

Kenzie got a hug in before he went back to his desk.

“Congratulations.” He nodded toward the picture of his wife. “From me and Josie. She’ll be over the moon when she hears.”

Linc and Kenzie drove away in his red pickup. The diamond on her hand caught the sun before she reached up to rub his shoulder.

“I was thinking,” she began.

Linc smiled, enjoying the mini-massage. “Am I being softened up?”

“Yes.”

“Just tell me what you want, Kenzie.”

“Let’s get away somewhere. Really away.”

“Name your island,” Linc replied cheerfully.

“Is there one called True Love?”

He laughed out loud. “Let’s go looking. It has to be out there somewhere.”
