A tickling sensation on her left cheek woke Helen up from her deep sleep. Slowly opening her drowsy eyes, she discovered that Patricia was standing at the foot of her bed.

“Rise and shine, princess,” Patricia spoke loudly as she smiled down at her little sister. “Old habits die hard, don’t they?”

“Old habits?” Helen asked in a voice hoarse from sleep.

“Yeah, you like to sleep late.” Patricia’s smile turned into a grin. “It’s almost 1:30.”

“I was too tired.” Helen maintained, rubbing her blurry eyes. Patricia was about to come with a rebuttal, when she looked out her sister’s window, to the left.

“That cabin at the edge of town.” She spoke in a mild tone, pointing at the same time. “That’s James Farrell’s place, isn’t it?”

“Yeah,” Helen croaked. “Why?”

“Someone’s over there.” Patricia’s short sentence made her sister’s eyes snap open. Helen sat bolt upright, unable to believe her ears. Unfortunately for her though, she could not ask anything further. James’s cabin was more than two miles away; Patricia could simply not describe to her anything else. Swiping the sheet away, Helen jumped out of bed, looking for her clothes. “What is it?”

“James is in California.” Helen spoke too fast, pulling her jeans up. “It can’t be him.”

“Then, who the hell is at his place?” Patricia asked.

“I don’t have time to explain.” Helen stated with a smile of content forming on her face, as she buttoned up her pants. “Let’s just say he’s not a burglar.”

“So, you know him!” Patricia’s eyes flashed with excitement. “What’s his name?”

“Not now…” Helen gave a short laugh, as she put her red, t-shirt on. “I’ll tell you later, ok?”

“Oh, come on!” Frustration was lingering in Patricia’s voice. “You’re not going to give me his name?”

“Marcus.” Helen’s response was sharp, as she put her sneakers on. “It’s got to be him.”

Without wasting any time, she stormed out of her house, with the keys to her pickup truck in her hand and her heart pounding in her chest. Helen hopped into her car, in the hope that Patricia had noticed her boyfriend, even though such a thing sounded very unlikely to say the least. It was humanly impossible for anyone to ride across the states in less than three days and Michelle’s next venue was only two days away. James would not leave his protégée back in California. Her heartbeat quickened, as she approached the cabin. Marcus’s motorcycle was nowhere to be seen, but, on some level, Helen expected that. The tires screeched, as she brought her truck to an abrupt halt, right outside James’s house. A simple glance to the left gave her the answer she needed to have. Indeed, it was Marcus. He had brought outside a large amplifier and he was about to strap a black, electric guitar around his neck. Helen’s heart fluttered, as she jumped out of her truck. His face was lit up with a huge smile, as their eyes met. Immediately, she started running towards him, as a sense of happiness rushed through her.
