Delta Stevens 2: Storm Shelter (41 page)

“What step?”

Megan smiled. “Communication, my love. The first step is telling me that you want to learn, that you want to grow.”

“I do. I’ve just never wanted to before.”

Pulling Delta to her, Megan kissed the top of her head. “Well, I’m glad you want to with me. I love you, Delta Stevens, and I know how deeply you love me. If you’re willing to try, we’re going to be just fine.” Holding Delta to her, Megan gently rocked back and forth, stroking Delta’s curly hair.

Closing her eyes, Delta nestled against Megan’s chest and listened to her heartbeat. There she was, Officer Delta “Storm” Stevens, saver of lives, pursuer of evil, hero of the young and old, and she didn’t even know how to make a relationship work. How could she be so good at one thing and so incredibly lousy at another? What had she said the other day to Alexandria about the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few? It was ironic that the needs of the many should affect her life so much. Maybe that was what Megan meant. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe it was time to pay more attention to the needs of the few; the needs of the one.

“Megan?”

“Yes, babe?”

“I love you with all my heart.”

“I know.”
