Chapter 64. Green Light

“Okay, Ma’…Dora.” But for the presence of her frowning husband, Ty would have hugged the hell out of Tanesha’s mother that very moment.

“Good. I don’t want to take any chances.” Dora smiled as she linked her hands with Paul’s. 

“Have a safe trip then,” Ty said, stretching forth his hand to Dora but she rather drew him into a warm hug which ended when her cell phone rang. As Ty shook Paul’s hand, he couldn’t help but notice how pensive the older man looked. “I take my deals seriously, Sir,” Ty murmured. “I won’t break it.”

And that was all it took to bring a relieved look upon Paul’s face. “Good.” Paul nodded. “She does have a point but…”

“I understand,” Ty said, wondering if Paul would shoot him if he added that he would always make sure Tanesha was home before daybreak. Surely she could get a few minutes sleep before the so-called headcount. A look at Paul’s face however stopped him from adding that. He turned to smile at Dora when she rejoined them.
