It might not be too bad, leaving police work.” Mac decided it was time to run the idea by his partner.Jonesy hardly missed a beat before answering. “But that’s what you’re good at.”“Yeah.” He turned the car into his parking place at the station. “But I want more out of life.” He waited until they were both out until he continued. “I’d like to find someone, get married and maybe have a family.”“So you’re feeling your clock ticking? I thought that was a woman thing.”Mac sent him a scowl. “Funny.”Jonesy laughed then seemed to shrug it off. “Look, it’s natural. Your mortality’s kicking in. You got shot and could’ve died.”“When did you become a shrink?”“On-the-job training.”Mac couldn’t argue that.“Listen, give it some time before you make any drastic changes.”“It’s not just that. It’s …” Mac paused. “I’m not going to pass the physical.”“You don’t know that.”Mac stopped and Jonesy turned to face him. “Yes, I do and I’m not going to be responsible for making Connie a widow.”
