“Look who’s back.”
Kenzie knew Conrad must have heard, too.
He ignored it, releasing her hand to shake Bear’s. “Thanks, Bear.”
But Bear pulled him into a hug. Bear was one of the few men around who matched Conrad in height, but when he spoke, his voice was soft and shy, deep and yet somehow childlike. “I didn’t think I would see you again.”
Kenzie’s throat went tight.
Conrad clapped him on the back. “I wasn’t sure about that myself, friend.”
Kenzie motioned toward the table where Bear had been sitting. “It looks like you’ve got a nice meal.”
Bear gave a nod. “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to theLord, and He will repay him for his deed.”
She reached out, squeezed his hand. “Enjoy your supper.”
The Team table was packed. Most of the primary members had turned out, probably because word had spread that Harrison would be there. Megs and Ahearn. Austin, Lexi, and little Emily. Eric, Victoria, and baby Caden. Chaska, Naomi, and Winona. Bahir. Malachi. Sasha. Isaac. Nicole. Creed. Jesse, Ellie and the twins. Dave Hatfield and his new girlfriend.
Was her name Amy? Kenzie couldn’t keep up.
There were many hugs and handshakes and a few introductions, as Harrison had never met Bahir or Naomi. Kenzie used the distraction to slip away and find Joe.
“Hey, Joe.” She lowered her voice. “Harrison’s here.”
Joe’s face split in a wide grin. “That son of a bitch. It’s about damned time.”
“Please don’t make a big deal out of it. No toasts or speeches. The attention makes him uncomfortable.”
Joe nodded. “Okay. Got it. But I am calling Rain.”
Kenzie started back toward the table, only to find herself waylaid by Cheyenne.
She lowered her voice to a whisper, a knowing smile on her face. “I hear you and Conrad got together. Is he as well hung as I’ve always imagined he was?”
Kenzie gaped at Cheyenne, heat rushing into her face. “I’m not sure where you heard that, but it’s not true. As for your question, I have no idea.”
That wasn’t exactly true. She’d been able to feel his erection through his jeans and knew he was well endowed. Butno waywas she going to talk about the private details of Harrison’s anatomy with Cheyenne or anyone else.
“Bummer.” Cheyenne gave Kenzie a disappointed frown and walked away.
Kenzie arrived back at the table to find Harrison perusing his menu. She didn’t really need to look. “I think I’ve eaten everything on this menu a thousand times.”
“It all feels new to me. I haven’t eaten any of this for a long time. Oh, man, they’re doing a Philly cheesesteak sandwich now?”
“Philly cheesesteak a la Colorado.” Joe’s voice came from behind them. “It’s got jalapeños and pepper jack.”
Harrison grinned, got to his feet. “Hey, Joe.”
The two men embraced.
“Welcome home. We missed you.”
“Thanks. I hear you and Rain finally figured out that you belong together.”
Joe laughed. “Yeah. It only took us twenty years. She’s on her way into town. She wants to see you, and she’s bringing Angel, our baby girl.”
Harrison opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by a shriek.
