Mel came in and set her bag down on the couch as she moved toward the kitchen. Before she made it, however, Rick rushed up behind her. "Mel!" He grabbed her around the waist, spinning her to face him.
"Holy crap! There's a stranger in my house. Oh, it's just my husband," she teased and gave him a quick kiss.
"You look like you need to call in sick tomorrow," Rick said with a nod. Mel raised an eyebrow.
"Hon, today was the call-in day." The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup the night before, sending Chicago into a massive celebration.
33 THE LAST THING YOU LOST
"Remember that band that John loved? The one he went to Mexico to see?” Rick asked as Mel moved into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Yes," Mel nodded, pulling a bottle of orange juice out. "I also remember that he took Beck down there for Christmas, and that we stayed in the same hotel two months ago." She unscrewed the cap, took a swig and set the bottle and cap down on the counter. Narrowing her eyes, Mel looked at Rick. She could see the wheels in his head were turning, but she wasn't sure where he was headed.
32 ROAD TRIP
Rick moved over to her side and pulled her into a hug. Her eyes closed automatically, as he pressed a kiss to her neck. "The concert is Saturday night," he mumbled between kisses. "And, if we leave in the morning, we can be back in time for work on Monday."
Mel planted her hands on his arms and leaned back to stare at him for a moment. "You're serious," she said, narrowing her eyes again. "Really serious," she added as he nodded. "You want to go to Mexico? For the weekend?" He nodded again.
"For a concert?” Rick simply grinned.
48 REVELATION
"Come on, hon," Rick said, almost whining, Mel noted, "live a little. Take a chance."
"Who are you and what have you done with Patrick Harper?" Mel asked, eyeing him. "Are you a pod person? A cyborg? Evil- ...no goatee," she trailed off, trying not to smile at his widening grin. "What has gotten into you?" she whispered a moment later, resting a hand on his cheek.
"I miss my wife. And, if I'm gonna keep the romance alive, I need to be spontaneous. Keep you on your toes." Mel sighed and nodded.
"Good... because I already bought the tickets."
