Excerpt for your tantalization:

“Phillip?” the man asked in a deep voice that bordered on gruff. Phillip couldn’t place it, and yet the man was definitely familiar. Phillip wished he could kick-start his mind, but at the moment, the damned thing didn’t seem to be working properly. He’d had his legs metaphorically knocked out from under him, and was still struggling to get his bearings.

“Barry Malone,” he said as recognition kicked in along with a rush of amazing memories. Phillip pushed back his seat and walked over to him, intending to shake his hand. But instead, he received a strong, solid hug, as if he were the man’s long-lost brother finally returning home. Everything was going to be okay. They always were when he was with his oldest friend.

“Oh my God, how are you?” This was really turning out to be like a reunion, even given the somber occasion.

“I’m really good,” Barry said softly. “I was hoping you might be here. It’s been way too long.” The smile was the same one Phillip remembered—just as warm and genuine as always.

Phillip took a few seconds to enjoy Barry’s solidity as his long-forgotten, clean, almost woodsy scent wrapped around him. “From the look of it, I’d say you’re in the Marines,” Phillip said when Barry released him and he was able to step back. And damned if this Marine wasn’t everything they advertised.

“I was.” Barry’s smile was bright and warm, with perfect teeth and creases that went to his eyes. It was obvious Barry was happy to see him. “I left school halfway through junior year because I had no way to pay for it.”

Phillip remembered the loss he’d felt when Barry had no longer been there. “Even after all those nights in the common room?” They’d spent many an evening doing their homework together, though it was the time they’d spent together as kids, camping in the backyard and keeping each other’s secrets, which came flooding back in a big way. How had he forgotten about his best friend, about the way that Barry had always made him feel—like he could do anything?

“Yes. You got me through statistics and that last semester of geometry that they made me take.”

“I thought you’d given up.” Though he probably should have known better.

Barry chuckled. “I’ve never given up on anything in my life. I went into the Marines, ended up assigned to some pretty Marine-like places, and when my tour was over, I thought of re-upping, but went back to college instead. I graduated a year ago and decided to put both my Marine training and business skills to good use, so I started a security business. A number of the people I served with have been instrumental in helping me get it started, and they recommended me for some of my first jobs. We help each other out whenever we can.” He paused for a few seconds. Phillip knew that people who had your back, no matter what, were rare and precious. “At the moment I’m between clients, which is fine. It gives me a chance to relax a little.” His blue eyes were the color of the sapphire ring that he wore on his left hand at that very moment.
