“Skylar, I need you to bring in the rest of the dogs’ stuff,” Julie called out from her kitchen, where she was unpacking groceries. She had been thoroughly shocked when the community had given her a check for twenty thousand dollars for Christmas, monies collected through donations from Woodland’s citizens and local businesses. Moved to tears, she had accepted the money. She was going to have to use a portion of it to catch up on her house payments. While she’d been captive, the bank had been working with Matt, as there was no way he could afford two mortgages. Now that she had returned, their generosity had come to an end.

Tonight would be the first night she was going to stay at her own house, and Skylar had happily volunteered to stay with her. They had a video game marathon planned for later—nearly six months in the making—with giant bowls of popcorn to munch. Julie smiled, listening to her dogs tear around the house as they chased each other, their quiet growls audible every once in a while.

Skylar ran back into the house, the dogs’ bed and toys in hand, immediately heading toward the living room where he knew they belonged. Bonnie and Clyde tore out of the kitchen and nearly knocked Skylar over in their excitement to get into their bed. The boy giggled as he plopped down onto his butt and accepted the Yorkie bath.

For a short while, Julie felt normal again. She laughed and cried out as Skylar kicked her butt with the Wii system he had brought over. She was exhausted from their intense tennis match, then giggling like a schoolgirl as they boxed. She couldn’t believe they had actually worked up a sweat.

“Uncle! I give!” she called out, plopping down on the couch. With a cry of victory, Skylar jumped at her, ultimately landing with his head in her lap and torturing her with quick pokes in the stomach. “You little shit,” she growled, laughing wildly as she tried to avoid his fingers while getting in her own licks. Pooped and hungry, boy and woman headed off toward the kitchen to make dinner.
