Bishop — 13

Life fuckin’ sucked sometimes. Seriously. Dr. Dreamy wasn’t interested. I’d put myself out there and asked again, but he just wasn’t interested. And he had someone named Chris. Oh well. Not a whole hell of a lot I could do except throw myself into work or find someone else to date. Neither actually sounded all that appealing.

After the thoroughbreds were cleared for travel, their owner swooped in and had them southbound to Colorado in no time. But now there was the criminal investigation that was ongoing. Luckily, that was something that Adrian and I got to assist with. I was invested with their case now and wanted to help them see it through to the end. That and it helped keep me busy. And busy was good.

I’d picked Oreo up on Thursday, about an hour after Xander had left, but I wasn’t in the mood for talking, so I paid my bill and left. I felt bad about it now; Ezra had always been so nice, and they’d taken extra good care of her while she was sick, but I didn’t care. I needed away and couldn’t stomach the thought of facing Xander again so soon.

I took her to work with me on Friday, and Kirk went bonkers over her. If he had the time for one, I could certainly see him with a dog in his life in the very near future. Yesterday I stayed home and did absolutely nothing. I didn’t even bother getting dressed. I stayed in my PJ pants all day and vegged on the couch with Oreo. I threw on shoes and a coat long enough to go outside with her to do her business, but that was it.

I was upset with myself more than anything. Xander had already told me he didn’t mean the texts, but I didn’t listen. I swore I’d caught him looking at my lips on more than one occasion. Same thing about my ass.

I needed a distraction and was running low on most staples in my fridge and pantry, so I headed upstairs and got in the shower. A quick cleanup and I was dressed and on my way to the local Walmart. I started in the produce and worked my way back to the coolers.

Not really sure what I’d be in the mood for on a daily basis, I just grabbed stuff and threw it into the cart. When I spotted a familiar blond in the frozen-pizza section, I cringed, but I wasn’t going to avoid him completely. After all, he was Oreo’s doctor, even if up until recently we’d normally see Rick, the tech.

“Deputy Jones. It’s nice to see you,” Xander said as I approached. He’d seen me earlier than I’d hoped.

“Dr. Garrison,” I said politely, trying my best to remain professional. It seemed I’d done something wrong because Xander’s smile fell from his face.

“We missed Oreo on Friday. Is she okay? You’re not going to withdraw her from daycare, are you?”

“No. I was in the office for only part of the day, so I kept her with me.
