42. affection.
No doubt in my past I was what many would call a cheating bastard. I can admit it, I was never faithful. I wasn't an affectionate man. I was in and out and gone before they knew what hit them. Was I proud of it? No not really it's just how I was mainly because of my job. Why put someone through the torture of never knowing if I'd come home? And another officer or detective was out of the question for me. Why? Because the thought to protect that person could compromise a situation.
Now? Everything has changed all in one moment of a night just out walking. Going to a bar and meeting someone that turned my entire world topsy turvy but it's all been good. Cha-Cha, the one person I've settled down for. The only one I will ever change my habits for because she means a lot to me. Until I met her I had no clue what affection was outside of my parents. Now I know what it's like to have someone loving me. Someone that will be waiting for me to get home and be glad I'm walking through the door. I wouldn't change a damn thing either.
