As Debra carefully examined the medals, Jordan couldn’t help but ask, “Are you and Marion together now?
Even though he had access to his phone each week while in the military, there were always gaps in the news he received. During Debra’s time missing at sea, he had desperately wanted to return, but the military rules kept him from appearing by her side. He had to rely on Andrew for help.
Now that he was back, he had learned about Debra and Juan reconciling. But seeing Debra’s reaction when Marion was mentioned, he felt a pang of uncase
“Yes, we are,” Debra admitted, patting him on the shoulder. “You’re getting older, too. It’s about time you found someone you like.”
Jordan suddenly gripped her hand and asked, “Why Marion?”
“Some things in this world don’t have a reason. They just happen. You like who you like, and when you meet someone special, you’ll understand what I mean.

Andrew stepped out of the elevator. “I only briefly mentioned Jordan joining Marion’s team. With his memory, it’s understandable he might not remember.”
Erica’s expression finally softened. “That’s better. Otherwise, I’d have to give Marion a good talking–to. He shouldn’t keep things from his girlfriend.”
Jordan’s smile faded slightly. He extended his hand towards Marion. “Hello, Mr. Houston.”
