chose a bar over coming home to your family.” She sniffs and her bright green eyes start to tear up.
    “Whoa,” I say wondering where this is coming from. “Why does that bother you so much?”
    “Really?” Her voice rises in anger. “Why would I get mad that you chose a bar over your family?”
    “It wasn’t like that,” I say softly. “It was just a few drinks.”
    She closes her eyes as she takes a few deep breaths. “I just don’t wanna be that couple.”
    “What couple?”
    “The one where the husband would rather go to a bar to pick up chicks than come home to his family.” Her words make me realize what has her so upset and I’m shocked that she could even think like that.
    I walk up to her and place my hands on her cold cheeks. I lean down, placing my forehead on hers. “I’m sorry, Angel. I didn’t think it would upset you.”
    She wraps her arms around my neck. “Parker told me you were in a bad mood yesterday. I wanted us to spend some time alone together last night,” she whispers. “But you never came home and I fell asleep waiting for you.”
    I hate that I let her down. I guess in a way I can see where she thinks I chose to go out rather than come home but that was not my intention. “Let me make it up to you,” I offer.
    “How?” she asks softly.
    I smile against her lips. “Tonight. I’ll do anything you want me to do tonight. I’ll close up early and the girls can close up the bakery. We can go home and be alone. Just you and me.”
    She sighs. “That sounds wonderful but what about Sadey?”
    “I’ll have my parents keep her a little later than usual. Then after we have our time together, I’ll go and pick her up. Deal?”
    “Deal.”
    I lean in to kiss her, but she pulls away when she hears my phone ring. “One second,” I say pulling it out of my pocket. Father lights up my screen.

CHAPTER FOUR
    SAMANTHA
     
     
    I leave Slade to his phone call and walk back into the bakery, mainly because I’m freezing cold. February in St. Louis can be brutal.
    I find Parker still sitting at the round table looking off into the distance. “Tired?” I ask. I overheard them talking about him falling asleep up at the office last night. I can relate to him quite a bit. I feel like I’m tired most of the time. I have moments where I just want to fall to the floor, curl up into a ball, and sleep for days. Slade and I got lucky with Sadey. She has always been a baby who enjoys her sleep. But work is just kicking my butt. You would think that I would be used to my schedule by now, but I’m not.
    “Yeah,” he says through a yawn. “Working the night shift at the department is killing me.”
    “Why don’t you quit the force?” I ask leaning against the counter. I don’t know all that much about Parker when it comes to his career as a police officer. I know he’s good at his job, and he has saved his friends’ lives. I just don’t know why he’s still there. I guess he could need the money.
    He looks up at me at my question. His dark eyes look intense for someone who is so tired. He looks to be thinking about the right thing to say but is having a hard time finding the right words. “For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a police officer. It would be silly to throw that away now just because I’m tired.” And with those words, he stands from the table and walks out.
    I have a feeling there’s more there than what he wants me to know. Parker is always cutting up and being an ass, but I feel like he’s covering something up. He doesn’t want others to know just how vulnerable he truly is.
    “Hey baby, I gotta go,” Slade says as he comes through the back door.
    “The office?” I ask, and he just gives me a nod. “I love you,” I mumble against his lips as he leans down to kiss me. His lips barely touch mine and he goes to pull away. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into me. He gets the hint and opens up his mouth for a deep kiss. This
