Not at all.
His partner was the quiet beast in their partnership. He waited on Day to do the talking.
“Thanks, Cap. We’ll make sure we earn this every day.”
They’d been busting their asses while they went through the four long phases of detective training. And they did it all while continuing to work their beat and backing up the SWAT team anytime they called on them.
Murphy nodded. “I have no doubt. You two make a helluva team. I can already tell y’all are gonna do some big things together.”
Together.
Those words hit Day hard. He glanced back and met God’s radiant green eyes, holding his gaze for a long moment.
God wasn’t smiling, but Day could feel he was on the inside. Could feel his relief and his pride.
Their captain watched them, his eyes narrowing as he stared at their silent exchanges. He looked as if he were trying to decipher what they were saying. Day could see the curiosity. He and God were an enigma, a mystery no one could understand or solve.
“All right, now get out.” Murphy frowned. “You waiting on me to hug you or some shit?”
Day laughed as he got up, clutching the badge tightly.
“And, uh, Detectives,” the captain said before they walked out the door, “congratulations.”
Detectives.
The title rolled off the captain’s tongue as if it were meant for them.
Once they were outside, God stared at him for a long time. Day watched him shift his weight, his chest expanding as if he were taking a deep breath.
He knew what his partner was thinking.
“It’s about damn time, huh?” Day whispered, taking God’s badge from his palm.
His calloused hand grazed Day’s fingers—an almost imperceptible touch, but it shot a jolt of energy through his core.
“We got this,” God rumbled, his raw, gravelly voice rippling under Day’s skin.
What he felt didn’t frighten him. He’d always wish for more with God, but he was content with the parts of him he did have.
They’d always be partners, one way or another.
It’d been a wild, dangerous, kick-ass ride so far…and it was just the beginning.
