“Angel, people do it all the time. They find roommates they don’t know and they live together.”
“And some end up dead,” she countered.
I chuckled. “I can assure you that Paul and I won’t kill you. Your husband, on the other hand …”
She paused, not saying anything. I figured in her position it was harder to agree to live with two guys since she was a woman.
“All right, angel. If it will make you feel better, how about we get to know each other while you get all your ducks in a row, like meeting with an attorney and stuff so you can get a divorce? While you do that, I’ll teach you how to shoot properly, then once you leave your husband, you move in with me and Paul. You’ll know us better by then and you’ll know how to shoot us if shit goes down.”
She paused for a few seconds, staring at me, then smiled. “I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but … okay.”
I couldn’t believe that she’d agreed. The original plan wasn’t for her to move in with Paul and me, but the new plan just slipped from my mouth. Having Autumn live with us was either going to be really good or really bad. I was certain I wouldn’t be able to just be friends with her. Once she was separated from her asshole of a husband and under my roof…
All bets were off.
