“I wasn’t expecting anything.” Certainly not an apology. “You got someone at home?”

“Not anymore. Divorce was finalized before I left.”

Evans seemed happy about it, so Kass congratulated him.

“Yeah, she never knew, but she knew I was hiding something. Sucks sometimes.”

“Yeah.” Kass nodded. “You didn’t want to tell her?”

“No and I guess that was when I figured it would never work out. Your sweetheart in the know?”

“Yeah, shifter. It’s making things weird.” Everything about them was weird and wrong from the kiss to the timing.

Evans narrowed his eyes. “You’re not…”

Kass gave a careful nod. “Just before I left.”

“And now?”

“We never got the chance to talk about it, and I don’t even know if…if they want it.” He wasn’t ready to out himself to Evans.

If Evans noticed the careful pause, he said nothing. “I think one of the Brit officers is in a similar situation. I’ll suss it out and put you in contact.”

“Appreciate it.”

Evans glanced around the mess. “Can you imagine what they’d say if they knew?”

Kass scanned the men and women eating and laughing. The witch hunts weren’t that long ago. “They wouldn’t be thanking us for our service.”
