crash at my own place,” Callie told him.
    Trent smiled. “I don't want you to crash at your place. I want you here with me sexy girl.”
      He pulled her closer kissing her lightly before she turned her attention back to the stove. “I don't want to cause problems between you two. I know you're just now reconnecting.”
    Trent hugged her again from behind. “Callie, it's not a problem. I promise you.”
      “Okay, because I don't want any drama,” she warned.
    He laughed and moved to the table. “My mother certainly can provide some drama.”
    Callie came with two plates. “So you've told me. I don't want her pulling guns on me.”
    Trent held out her chair. “She doesn't do that anymore,” he said seating her.
      He took his seat across from her and picked up his utensil. “Besides, you know how to use a gun too,” he said pointedly.
    Callie smirked at him and grabbed a fork. “It's my job.”
      “Yeah, mine too now,” he agreed.
      She began eating slowly. “So Ray has you working on the case involving Isis?” she asked casually.
    Trent looked up. “Yeah, someone may be trying to hurt her. He wants me to find out who it is.”
      “Am I on the list?” Callie inquired lifting a brow.
    He smiled at her. “You don't need to hurt Isis.”
      They both went back to eating before Trent looked up. “Can you get me some cinnamon?” he asked watching her.
      “Cinnamon? What the hell are you putting cinnamon on?” she asked looking at the plate of eggs and turkey bacon.
      “I just want some cinnamon. Can you grab it please?” he asked.  “It's in that cabinet on the left.”
    Callie turned to the cabinet. “You can't grab it?”
      “You're closer. Please?”
      She shook her head and put her fork down. “I swear you're such a baby,” she complained as she walked over to the cabinet. Opening it, she saw a small, professionally wrapped package with a bow on the top.
    Callie turned back to Trent who was studying his plate intently. “What is this?” she asked.
    He looked up. “What's what?”
      “This package in your cabinet.”
    Trent shrugged. “I don't know. What does it say?”
    Cautiously Callie removed the package and looked at the tag. “It has my name on it.”
    He smiled. “Then I guess it's for you.”
      “Trent. What is this?” she asked again.
      “Uh, it has your name on it Callie. It's not for me.” He went back to his food.
      Callie watched him for a moment before opening the package. Inside there was tiny velvet box. She popped open the lid and gasped.
      “Trent...” she looked over at him as he rose from his seat dressed in a T-Shirt and basketball shorts.
    He came to stand before her. “Do you know what it is?” he asked.
    Callie looked at the beautiful silver band inside the box and shook her head.
      “It's a promise ring.” Trent took the box from her hand and removed the jewelry. He held it up so she could see it. “I had it engraved with our initials and Sean and Lily's wedding date.”
    She looked confused. “Sean and Lily's wedding date?”
      Trent took her hand and gently slid the ring on her finger. “Yes, that's the day I first told you I love you.”
      Callie stared at the ring on her finger then back to the handsome young man that had put it there. Trent had grown so much in the last year after finding his family and she was so proud of the man he was becoming. He'd only turned eighteen a little while ago but he was so mature for his age.
      “I promise that one day this will be a wedding ring when I'm the man who deserves your heart and can give you everything that you need,” he vowed.
      Callie's eyes watered as she looked up at him. “Oh, baby...” She threw her arms around his neck and he held her closely before she kissed him full of emotion.
      Trent looked into her wet, dark eyes. “Callie you are my love, you're my heart and my Shero. All I want is to be with you.”
      “All is want is to be with you too
