“You’re very considerate,” Hoyt said sleepily.

“When you care about someone it comes with the territory.”

“Not always.”

“Speaking from personal experience?” Teague asked worriedly, settling down beside Hoyt again, using his shoulder as a pillow.

“No, thank God. But I’ve dealt with one too many domestic disturbance calls. The things people do to others in the name of love.” Hoyt shook his head sadly.

“It will never happen with us,” Teague replied firmly.

“I’m sure the people involved in those calls thought the same—”

“Never.” Hoyt frowned deeply. “We still haven’t…”

“Figured out how to be together for the long-term? We will. Somehow, we will. Believe that.”
