“Sorry to hear that.”
He winked. “I know you are. Let’s face it, with two good feet, I’m a boogey machine.”
Howard had wandered our way by then and slipped his arm around my waist. “I guess I’ll just have to show her my own moves then.”
“Dude,” Colt grimaced. “I’m talking about gettin’ down and funky to some tunes. You need to get a room for what’s on your mind.”
We all laughed, and for the first time in nearly two decades, the three of us were comfortable again as friends. It felt good. If there is a happiness scale, I was off the charts.
Oh, and that night, Howard and I did get a room, and he did show me his moves. Over and over and over again. I’m not sure where he learned them, but I’m pretty sure they don’t teach that kind of thing at the FBI Academy.
THE END
