The next morning

Kate

My eyes blinked open and I reached out to touch Jackson. I knew almost immediately he was gone. It was strange how fast I had grown used to sleeping with him. How the minute he’d left the bed, I just knew it no matter how deeply asleep I was.

Sitting up, I shivered as the sleeping bag fell away. There was definitely a nip in the air this morning. Quickly, I got dressed and thought about what Jackson and I had talked about last night.

He thought it was time to head back to Hope’s Point. And I suppose I wouldn’t mind a real shower rather than a creek bath. Because now I refused to get all the way naked when I took them just in case Mountain Man stumbled on us again.

So this could be good. I still had a whole week with Jackson left before I had to leave. I could have a burger and a beer with Jackson. Maybe play cards with him and his friends, which is what he’d said they mostly did during their down time.

However, the thought of people intruding on us didn’t feel right. We had been the only two people in the world out here, minus the one memorable sighting of Mountain Man, and I had loved it. Relished in it.

Everything I could have wanted, Jackson gave me. Solitude. Time to think, time to grieve, time to heal. All the physical pleasure I could handle to battle the emotional pain.

Through all of that he’d given me himself. His body, his companionship. His total lack of judgment. He’d been the perfect balm for my wounded soul and even though I had admitted I was using him for that, he didn’t seem to care.

There were moments where I thought it was the strangest thing. That I could go from the depths of where I had been back home. To this slice of heaven in Alaska, where my every need was satisfied.

In a week it would end. In a week I had to go back to my life and face it. Jackson was right about that. I needed to decide what I wanted to do. Where I wanted to go. I couldn’t stay in Marana. That I knew. Too many memories, too many ghosts.

Too many enemies who had once been friends.

My mother wanted me to be with her in Florida, but I wasn’t sure that felt right, either. There was still too much tension between us. Too many things left unspoken about what she had known and had not told me.

No, wherever I landed, I was going to have to start over from scratch. The good news was I could always work. And cops were needed everywhere. Internal Affairs had cleared me. I hadn’t been suspended or fired. I had quit. Yes, my father’s history would probably rule out a lot of jobs for me, but it wasn’t as if I technically had a black mark on my record.

Which meant I needed to go where there was a need.
