Chapter Eight

As they raced up the hill, Ryan yelled ahead to Duffy, “Hey, no fair, you’ve got four legs. I should get a head start.” As though he understood her entreaty, he crested the hill and waited patiently until his mistress caught up. “Thanks, pal,” she said fondly as she bent over to ruffle his fur.

They had been trudging up and down the hills for nearly an hour. It was just past six now, and Ryan’s stomach was growling fiercely. “We’d better head home, boy. With any luck, Conor’s started breakfast.”

To her severe disappointment, not only had Conor not started breakfast, he was nowhere to be found. He’d better show up on time. I need to warm up a little bit before we play, she groused. Her sour mood lightened appreciably when Jamie’s sleepy head poked up from the lower stairwell.

“Hi, honey,” she mumbled, scratching her head absently. “Did you have a good run?”

Ryan walked over to the stairs and greeted her lover with her second kiss of the day, this time to a sentient being. “Yeah, we did. My legs were really dead by the last few miles, though.” She looked down at her uncooperative legs as if they would provide the reason for their reluctance to attack the hills with their normal gusto.

“I think it might be your workouts, honey,” she opined, laughing to herself at Ryan’s inability to acknowledge that she’d had a killer of a week.

Ryan gave her a little smirk, acknowledging that she had been putting a different kind of stress on her body. “Maybe I’m too old to do this.”

“Yeah, right. You did three major workouts this week, baby, and two of them were on the same morning! That would knock most people out. I think you should be pleased that you’re just a little slow today.”

“I didn’t say I was slow.” Ryan shot her a nearly petulant look, a bit offended by the mere suggestion. “I said my legs felt dead. Just because they didn’t feel right doesn’t mean I demanded any less from them.”

Jamie took her hand and tugged her into the kitchen, smiling to herself at her partner’s stoic nature. She urged Ryan to sit at the counter while she poured her a large glass of juice. As she handed it to her, Jamie leaned over and kissed each of the cool, damp thighs. “I’m sorry she’s so rough on you, guys. I’ll try to make it up to you later with a nice massage.”

“Don’t spoil ’em,” Ryan laughed, slapping at each muscled leg. “They’ll start expecting it.” She laughed at her own inability to go easy on herself, but she had a genuine worry that she might not be able to perform as well as she used to, and she felt that she needed to give voice to that fear. “I know you’re teasing, but I have to be realistic, Jamie. I don’t have the same body that I had in high school, and I think I’m going to have to learn to demand a little less from myself.
