CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Commitment is falling for the girl of your dreams.

In a split second. In a heartbeat.

For the first time. For the second time.

And over and over again.

NOX

Hollander races to me the moment I walk in the door. He winds around my legs, his massive body leaning into me while he trills a welcome I haven’t had since Beck moved in about three weeks ago. Crouching, I sink my hands into his fur and scratch behind his ears and under his chin. “Hey there, stranger. Thought you’d switched sides.”

With a chirp he stands up and butts his striped head against my jaw.

“It’s okay. You’re forgiven.” I stroke my hands down his sides. “I like her too, bud.”

Standing up, I glance around the cabin, which is less messy than usual, while I put my keys and phone down in the kitchen. There are still a couple of coffee cups next to her laptop on the counter, but I’m getting used to it. Besides it hurts nothing to be easy about the coffee rings marring the shiny white surface. “Where is our girl anyway?”

“Meow.” Hollander traipses off toward the bedroom. He glances back at the door to make sure I’m following and then disappears inside.

Shouldn’t be surprised she’s sleeping. Girl likes her afternoon naps. Because she’s a night owl. I can’t keep up with her. Don’t even try. I have to wake up early to work, and she stays up late to write her articles. We’re polar opposite in the way we live, but I remember what it was like to always be on the move. To work when the whim took me. To sleep when the sun came up. Don’t miss it. Any of it. Can’t go back to bleeding my soul onto papers and into strings and out of my vocal chords, even if my chest hurts like a piece of me is missing. Even if words form in the back of my mind and my fingers almost move of their own volition. Something that hasn’t happened to me in so long that it didn’t seem possible anymore. But my goals are different now. My plans changed. It’s better this way.

Beck’s not in the bedroom. Movement catches my eye from the windows. Out in the grove people are milling around. There are a heap of them. Twenty or so people are tramping over my property. All these people give me a gut ache and imaginary ants crawl under my skin. They shouldn’t be here. This is my personal space, and I don’t like having people I don’t want aware of my personal life in it. What are they doing in the valley? What the hell is going on?

Hollander meows and rubs up against the glass, moving back and forth as though he’s desperate to join them. Or at least to find Beck. She must be down there too. Have to find her and work out what the hell she’s up to now. If this is another one of her bright ideas to get me to wave the white flag on this marriage she’s got another thing coming.
