Chapter 12 – Chase

THE BACON SIZZLED IN the pan as I kept an eye on the coffee percolator.

“Let me help you,” Emma offered.

“You sit down and relax.” I pointed to the sofa with the spatula. “I’ll take care of breakfast.”

“Are you sure?” she asked. “I could do the dishes after.”

“Deal. Now get.” I smiled at her and pointed at the couch again. “I don’t mind if you want to get some work done. The outlets all work if you need to charge your computer.”

“I should get some words written today and charge my phone,” she said and pulled her laptop out of her messenger bag. “What about internet?”

He chuckled. “There’s no Wi-Fi here, or cell service actually.”

“Oh,” she said quietly and tucked her phone back into her bag.

I finished breakfast to the sound of lite FM radio and keyboard clicking. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to get Emma back to town, but as I watched her hunched over her laptop with Prickles curled up beside her, a feeling of peace washed over me. Dumpster was of course, at my side waiting for any potential bacon scraps, his thick tail thumping on the floor.

We ate our breakfast of bacon and tomato sandwiches, sitting on the couch with our plates perched on our laps. “This is delicious,” she exclaimed as she took a bite. The Eric Clapton song playing on the radio drew to a close and Emma started to say something, but I interrupted her. I put my fingers to my lips, listening intently to the weather forecast. The radio was listing snowfall amounts and the forecast was even more dire than last night.

“Jack, as much as your cooking is the best thing I’ve eaten in years, how am I going to get out of here?”

I gathered up our plates and washed them. “Wait, I’m supposed to be doing that,” she said as she jumped up from the sofa.

“I just cleaned as I went.”

“You’re afraid to let me near the tea towels, aren’t you?” she grinned at me.

I rubbed my right ass cheek. “I’m pretty sure there’s a welt there.” I took her mug from her hand and poured her the last of the coffee. “The logging road is cleared by front end loaders, but they won’t do it until the storm is over. I’m going to work on the snowmobile this morning and try to get it started. I will get you back to town, even if I have to hook myself and Dumpster up to a toboggan and tow you there.” At the mention of his name Dumpster looked up, his tail thumping on the leg of the wooden armchair. “Although, I think he’d end up on the toboggan with you too...”

“Can I help you?” she asked. The woman was unlike any I had met in my lifetime. Mind you, I came from the private school circuit where most of my contemporaries had an entire staff at their disposal.

“Unless you know about the inner workings of an engine, we’re both better off if you stay inside and keep the fire going.
