I ride back through town and stop by Chevy’s to grab a bite to eat. It’s Saturday morning, so it’ll probably be packed, but I’m craving some pancakes.

Opening the door, I walk to the bar and slide onto an open stool. Looks like I just missed the rush.

“What’ll you have, Tommy?” the waitress, Jena, asks me.

“Pancakes, a regular coffee, and a water.”

“Black?”

“You got it,” I reply. The door opens, and Cash comes walking in wearing running shorts and a sweaty T-shirt.

“Morning, son,” he says, taking a stool beside me.

“Morning. You’re running kinda late today.”

“Yeah, I slept in a little. Figured you’d still be asleep with how many drinks you were throwing back.”

Jena sets Cash down a water, and he picks it up. “Thank you,” he says. He downs the whole thing.

“Yeah, just was craving some pancakes.”

He nods. “You gonna let me win my money back next Friday?”

I grin. “You can certainly try.”

He pats my back. “All right. I’ll see ya. I’ve got to help Mark cut up a tree. He had a big one fall at his property. It’ll be good for firewood when winter comes.”

“If you need my help, let me know.”

“Come on out after you eat. You can take some wood with you.”

“Sounds good,” I reply.

“Jena, thanks for the water,” Cash says as he throws some bills down onto the bar.

“Water’s free, Cash,” she says. He doesn’t reply. Jena sets down my coffee as he walks out.

“Thanks, Jena.” I look over at a newspaper someone left from earlier. Picking it up, I flip to the houses for rent section. I’ve been looking for weeks now, trying to find something so I can move out of Ronnie’s house. Hudson and Rose have already gotten their own place, so it’s just the drunk and me when he does come home. I skim through and spot one a little outside of downtown. I decide I’ll ride by there before I head over to Mark’s.
