FIVE

Hunger drags me from sleep and I wake alone. The most perfect night of my life ended with me alone in Bobby’s bed and waking up without him. I don’t even know why he left me.

I climb from the blankets and get my phone from my purse. I power it on. Shit, the screen fills with notifications. A half dozen from work, four missed calls and messages, but nothing from Bobby. Not a call or a text.

Now I’m not just hungry, I’m pissed and feeling wretchedly suspicious again. I don’t want to be jealous. I don’t want bad thoughts, but hell what do I really know about how Bobby spent the last two years. There could be someone else, maybe not serious, but maybe not over either.

He’s too cute a guy, too wonderful and hot, not to have some girl somewhere interested in him. He also has a more than healthy appetite for sex. Sex was never one of our issues. He couldn’t have passed his nights alone here with the dogs living like a monk. No matter how much the thought of that pleases me, I don’t really wish for that to have been and I’m not really angry if it wasn’t.

Maybe I’m just irritated because I can’t stand not knowing the details of things, and definitely not of something that took my guy away from me.

I smile. My guy. I hope wherever he is, he is that.

Listening to my phone messages, I start to make my way down the hall toward the kitchen. In the living room, I find Tiki sitting obediently in her cage looking as if she’s waiting to be released.

I crouch down in front of her, checking to see if there is food and water. Those soulful dog eyes fix on me. I smile but I’m not about to release her.

“Sorry girl,” I whisper, slowly slipping my fingers through the cage to lightly scratch her ear. “You’re going to have to wait for your dad to come home. I’m not ready to trust you yet.”

As if she understands my human rambles, a look flashes in her eyes as if to say I’m not ready to trust you either.

I laugh. Leave it to Bobby to find a dog like me. My humor leaves me. Is she like me? Is that part of what Bobby said true?

Shaking my head, I stand back up and continue into the kitchen. I open the fridge and hang on the door trying to figure out if there is anything to eat here. Nope, Bobby was right. There is definitely nothing worth cooking in the fridge.

I slam shut the door and find instant coffee on the counter. I rummage through the cabinets, find a cup, fill it with water and put it in the microwave to heat.

I hit call back for the office, then the speaker button.

“KKK Productions,” Veronica says pleasantly.

“Good morning, Veronica. Got your urgent messages. What’s up?”

I take the cup from the microwave and stir in the instant coffee.

“Are you all right?” she asks anxiously.
