He’s doing this right here? Right now? In front of me? This man must be an idiot. He has Hope’s hands in his as he bends down on one knee. Hope looks like she’s going to be sick or stop breathing all together. I’m about to walk away when she moves.

“Snake!” She screams and leaps into my arms. Luckily I catch the little flying squirrel before she damn near climbs my body once more. She’s hanging off my neck screaming until my ears feel like they’re bleeding.

“What?” Lance stands glancing around until he spots it. Then he screams much like Hope did.

“Oh my God! Snake! There’s a snake!” he yells sounding like a little girl.

I can’t help but laugh. Mom comes out the front door, looking between the three of us and down at the snake.

“It’s just a Night Snake,” she informs them. I can’t stop laughing as Hope tries to climb higher.

“It’s just a snake, Hope,” I remind her.

“Oh, yeah, just like that man-eating tarantula was just a little spider!” she screams loudly.

“They won’t hurt you, sweetheart,” my mom says as she grabs her broom and shoos the snake away. The sight before me is downright amusing.

“It’s gone. Why don’t we come inside,” Mom offers.

I don’t want this man in my house. I don’t want him anywhere near me or Hope for that matter. I look to my mom and see the somber look in her eyes. Nodding my head, I know what I have to do. I try to lower Hope to her feet, but she’s clinging to me like I’m her lifeline.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you like climbing me, Hope,” I whisper in her ear. She looks at me, pink cheeks and all before sliding down my body. I can’t stop the groan and I don’t even try as her body presses into mine.

“Um, yeah, Lance do you want to come inside?” Hope asks him making my jaw clench. He nods and I think he moves faster than Hope at this point to get in there. I watch the two of them as they walk up the steps and into my mom’s house. My house. Scrubbing my hand over my face, I’m not going in there for this shit. Turning on my heel, I head down to the barn for some much needed space. When I get there, I climb the steps to the small apartment that Dawson stays in, knocking on the door.

“Hey, what’s going on?” he asks when he opens the door.

“Mind if I hang out here for a while?” He shakes his head and moves to the side allowing me to step in.

“This have anything to do with that fancy car in the driveway?”

“Yeah. That’s Hope’s boyfriend from California.”

“The cheater?”

I smirk. “That would be the one. He was about to propose to her.” With a sigh, I drop onto the couch and lay my head back.

“Wow. That’s… I don’t know what to say about that. You okay?” he asks concerned.

“No but I have to be.
