"Ups and downs?" Kirk almost laughed...almost. "I'll say. He was involved with how many Agency women? Then in the end he wound up bending to Agency threats and lying to everyone around him about what was really going on. I honestly can't believe Reese still allows him to work here after he's caused so much damage." He cocked his head. "What's to say he won't just lie again? Or be seduced by an Agency woman again and let his loyalties slide? It's his pattern after all. You...came here to stay, and never looked back. Carson...he hasn't stopped looking back."
He paused, tapping his own on his notepad. "What would happen if you found out he was going back again? Would you endanger the Elite or turn him in?"
Con chuckled and bent down low to kiss the side of Jamie's neck. "Mmm... I don't know if I can make your day any better... But I can take you to lunch if you want."
He spun her chair around so he could face her. "I'm thinking subs. In the park. Unless you'd rather stay here with your paperwork instead."
A new smile emerged on Travis' face as he was given the sugar cubes. Handing them to the horse, it was obvious he was used to the large animals. Scratching her cheek again, he gave her some loving. "Mmm, you're a pretty girl, aren't ya, Stardust, huh?"
He threw Ashlee a glance. "I'm not so great in the saddle myself, but that's prolly 'cause I don't get to ride as much as I want. Only when I stay with my dad, and half the time we go fishing instead...if he's not wrangling cows." He might be upset with his dad right now, but he knew Lane had been the best father he could.
Realizing he'd let his mind drift, he snapped his attention back to Ashlee. "Going for a ride sounds like fun, but it might be a while til I can handle that again." He reached out to stroke Stardust again. "Wouldn't mind helping groom this girl though..."
