A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1014

“This line of work demands quick reflexes, real fighting skills, thinking on your feet—and you have to protect your charge like it’s more precious than your own life,” Calliope explained. “Vivian is outstanding at all of it. And honestly, women can be more attentive to detail than some of the guys in this field. That’s why she’s made such a name for herself.”

Portia nodded. “Yeah, it really shows. She seems pretty incredible.”

Vivian reappeared, having finished gathering her gear. “What are you two chatting about?” she asked as she came over.

“We were just saying how impressive you are,” Calliope replied with a grin. “Portia didn’t expect you to be this cool—or a woman.”

Vivian laughed. “Plenty of women out there run circles around useless men. Callie’s a woman too—way tougher than I am!”

Portia laughed. “I’ll back that up!”

“She’s always been a rockstar, and just a great person,” Vivian agreed as she leaned against the doorframe. She took out a pack of cigarettes, shook a couple loose, then offered them across. “Either of you want one?”

“I’ll pass,” Calliope said with a smile.

“I don’t smoke,” Portia replied, shaking her head.

Vivian shrugged off their refusals, lighting one for herself. “You don’t mind, right?” she asked.

“Go for it,” Calliope said.

The three of them lingered by the door, Vivian puffing quietly while she and Calliope exchanged a few words. Portia stood with them in companionable silence, not wanting to intrude.

When the cigarette was finished, Vivian waved a goodbye. “I’m off! Next round of drinks is on you.”

“Deal,” Calliope replied warmly. “Get home safe, and thanks for everything!”

Vivian flashed a grin. “Just doing my job—and hey, you always pay on time.” She hopped into her car and pulled away.

Portia watched her go. “Her job sounds amazing. And she’s really nice, too.”
