odds.
“Home. I’m back home.” he muttered, as the bus rolled on.
Cole noticed just how quiet the bus was. The dream had brought him back to that tragic day losing Wolfman. Jimmy had miraculously made it, and was quickly evacuated with the sudden reversal of events. Cole would later be awarded a Gold Medal of Courage for his valor but he wasn’t concerned with glory. All he wanted was his Team back home and safe. Wolfman had been the only casualty that day, when the odds of any of them getting out alive were slim to none, as each of them had recognized.
The bus zoomed along the highway until it reached Cole’s familiar hometown. It stopped at the stop sign, where the painted bench and the small tree were still there but with some noticeable differences. The stop sign was now cracked along the edges, and the paint on the bench had almost totally faded while the tree was almost unrecognizable, so much bigger than before. The branches and the leaves actually stretched over the bench and someone could sit comfortably under its shade on a hot summer day.
Cole noticed the little changes and smiled as he got off the bus.
“Everything changes.” he said to himself.
“Cole!”
At first he didn’t recognize her; tall, and slender, with long, black wavy hair, a beautiful figure with full breasts mostly hidden behind an ankle-length flowing sundress, a natural exotic looking beauty. But with the way she was waving and jumping all over, Cole had to take notice of Kaylee. He noticed just how she had become quite a stunner of a woman. Even though they were in contact here and there through the internet, and he saw the odd picture of her, Cole was still taken aback by how much Kaylee grew into her still developing features as a child. Facebook pics just didn’t do her justice, he thought.
She was no longer the tomboyish twelve year old girl that he had left behind. She was now a tall and shapely young lady. Cole didn’t know it, but Kaylee was just as surprised at seeing him look so different from the gangly sixteen year-old troublemaker he once was.
“Holy smack,” she thought, noting his ripped abs, massive chest and arms, very visible behind his snug white t-shirt. His quadriceps boasted a size she had never seen on a client athlete before and he was truly a sight to be seen. His usual brown wavy hair, longer and even more tussled than usual. But it was his strikingly manly chiseled face that made her quietly gasp, not wanting to reveal her observation.
“Kaylee! It’s been so long!” Cole said.
The two of them smiled at each other and hugged, sending a shiver down Kaylee’s entire body.
“You look sooo different!”
The two of them caught each other saying the same thing at the same time and both of them laughed heartily at their shared remark.
“Hey stranger, how ya’ doin’?” Cole casually asked, with a twinkle in his eye.
“I’ve been great! Everybody’s waiting for you at the Town Plaza. Big welcoming party and all. Everybody’s talking about what you did to save your Team. There’s even going to be a parade for this weekend!” she proudly declared.
Cole controlled the urge to blush. He looked away from Kaylee. He didn’t want her to think he was staring at her welcoming green eyes, but he couldn’t help it. Kaylee was a natural, stunning beauty he observed, standing close to her.
“I was just doing what I was trained to do. Each of us would have done the same for the other.” Cole insisted.
“No, it wasn’t! I heard about how you sacrificed yourself for your Team, something that opened the door to saving all, but one, I’m so sorry to hear.” And you banged up your leg pretty good too, lucky that was all!” Kaylee exclaimed. “How’s your noggin?” Kaylee teased, knocking on his head, like he used to do to her as a kid.
Cole was quick to downplay his actions again.
“It’s part of being a SEAL. With some physio I’ll be back on my feet in no time.” He grimaced in
