Story: Road Trip with Her Bodyguard
I’m a few minutes early as I pull up in front of the red brick building where she works now.
This is the perfect place for Jorie: one side of the clinic is devoted to physiotherapy, for people with injuries. The otherside is for people with stressed muscles and overall tension who need a massage.
I was a bit worried when she started working here until she told me about the owner’s strict policy that any men who come for a massage can only have a male masseur for the first ten treatments. After that, if everyone has a good feeling about them, they can be scheduled with one of the women.
I’ve also met the owner and he’s agreed to keep an eye on any clients who book a treatment with my gorgeous wife.
Is it overkill? Hell yes. Do I care? Hell no.
I watch through the huge front window as she comes out to reception, then meet her at the front door, where she flies into my arms. My girl is still magnificent, but now she has dropped the model-perfect glamour. Her hair is tied up in a few loose bohemian braids with a flower clip and she wears breezy cotton and bamboo clothing, so she always feels free.
I help her into the truck, and as soon as I’m in as well she reaches over to grab my leg. “I know we were going to make burgers tonight, but?—”
“The Roadhouse?”
She laughs. “Yes, please.”
“Good thing I already made a reservation. It’s busy on Fridays.”
She laughs again, squeezing my knee. “Have I ever mentioned that you’re the best husband in the world?”
“Not in the past minute or two, but I’ll allow it. HaveIever mentioned that you’re the most beautiful, stunning, talented, and adorable wife in the world?”
She playfully bats my shoulder. “You’re just saying that so you can try to knock me up tonight.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
Jorie pulls out her phone, thumbing through the fertility-tracking app she’s been using for the past three months. “According to this, we have a three-day window.”
“In that case, I guess we’re going to be ordering in food all weekend. Let’s cancel the reservation and just get takeout.”
Her eyes blaze as she nods. “Definitely. We should be professional and get right to work.”
“That’s my girl.”
We drive into the sunset toward The Roadhouse, picking up enough food for dinner as well as snacks all night. Then it’s off to our house that Jorie has turned into a comfortable home that vaguely resembles the cabin.
My heart fills with warmth, as it does hundreds of times every single day. My amazing woman has given my life…life.
I’ve had many strange jobs in my life. The gig as Jorie’s bodyguard was never supposed to be permanent.
I’ve never been so happy to be utterly, completely wrong.

I line up my shot,zooming in as much as I can without distortion, then slowly walk closer.
