“No,” she said more firmly. “There’s a back entrance. Mr. Spurlock will take me.”
The chief must’ve given her my name, because I hadn’t given it to her yet.
The woman had a backbone of steel to stand up to the chief like that. He was even more intimidating than my CO when I was in the Navy.
For her to stand up to him was a minor miracle in and of itself. Although, she did have to deal with men like that on a daily basis.
She may just know what she needed to say to get her way.
Women were adaptive like that.
“Fine,” she snapped. “Just don’t expect to ride in the same car.”
With that she hung up, and exploded out of my arms.
No more sad Mercy. In her place was pissed Mercy.
One who was ready to blow if she didn’t get her way.
Something that I’d definitely give her. All she had to do was ask, and I’d bend over backwards to get it for her.
Because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the last hour to stop playing on replay in my brain.
