She looked uneasy.
“Yes?” he prompted.
“You know Dad couldn’t come for the wedding, even though he sent us that nice tape of congratulations,” she offered.
“Yes.”
She cleared her throat. “He’s in Virginia.”
“In Virginia.”
She nodded.
He frowned. “Where in Virginia?”
“I think they call it Quantico?”
“No. Oh, no. No!”
She grimaced. “He’s been in law enforcement his whole life. Now he has a son-in-law in the FBI. He just wants to keep it in the family.”
“He’s joined the FBI!” he exclaimed.
She bent closer. “Well, yes. So now it’s really an agency family, isn’t it?” She wiggled her toes and smiled as she put her mouth gently over his. “And just yesterday, I got an application form…!”
He rolled her over and moved closer with intent. “I don’t want to hear it,” he told her. “Not another word.”
“But, Curt,” she teased, big brown eyes twinkling with humor.
“We’ll catch ’em, you prosecute ’em. Deal?” he teased back.
She chuckled. “I was only kidding,” she confessed.
“But you have to admit, it would be the story of the century.”
“We’ll have a bigger one, you wait and see.”
And they did. Twenty-five years later, their two sons and their daughter were all three inducted into the FBI as special agents on the same day, with their proud parents, and grandparents, for witnesses.
