Strong arms grabbed her from behind and she squeaked in surprise. But when she was folded into a familiar bear hug, she calmed and snuggled into the embrace. Some things never changed. “Morning, Ben.”

He ruffled her hair. “Morning, Goose.”

The words were low and husky from sleep, and she shivered as they reached out and stroked her. “Sleep well?”

He whined just enough to make her laugh and say, “You boys need a keeper.”

“We have one. You.” He pulled her over and gave her a noogie. “Now, hand over your coffee and no one gets hurt.”
