With a wicked grin, Dylan quipped, ‘I know you won’t understand, Lieutenant Colonel Daniels. While work is essential, spending time with my woman is equally important. I worry about Callie working here. I can’t be at ease if I don’t come to see her.’ Harriet gazed at Dylan, and it felt like something in her heart shattered.

Dylan and Callie’s feigned intimacy was hard to stomach, and he saw it as an eyesore.
