Chapter Five

Shane rolled the sparkly blue pom-pom across the kitchen linoleum. A sparkly blue pom-pom he’d bought in the craft department of Wal-mart that morning. Because that was apparently a thing he did now.

A second later, a tiny orange-striped floof scrambled after the thing. It still didn’t have a name, because he was still trying to find someone to keep it permanently. He normally had a policy against bringing distressed strays home, but this kitten and Natalie had both blown that policy out of the water over the past couple weeks.

And he didn’t have an ounce of regret about either.

He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Kissing her goodnight. Watching her expertly own that lane in those tight jeans. Even sitting across from him at the bar in the Cuban place, clearly on guard and not taking once ounce of shit from him.

He was still thinking about what she’d said there, too. She got him thinking all the next day about how much he really did miss playing. How pissed he was that he didn’t have his guitar anymore. Just do it, she’d said. He wasn’t a fucking shoe. And neither was his guitar. She had no clue what she was asking him to do.

But today…today he started wondering if maybe that was the point. Maybe not knowing the situation meant she could make a lot more sense out of the past year of his life than he could.

When his brother, Randy, and his sister-in-law, Julie, were having some trouble last year, Julie had reached out to Shane for advice. He’d met her for lunch a couple times. Reassured her that his brother was a good guy, that whatever was going on between them they could get through it. But when Randy found out they’d been spending time together, he flipped out. There was nothing Shane or Julie could do or say to reassure him. Shane had figured he’d come to his senses with time, but it had been a year and nothing.

His own brother had believed the worst about him. Then cut him off. Randy had tossed Shane aside, created a rift in their family, and moved on with his own life like it was the easiest thing in the world. Like Shane had never meant a damn thing to him in the first place.

But maybe it hadn’t been that easy or simple. Maybe Randy was hurting just as much as him from all of this.

Shane got up and opened a can of cat food while the little purr beast rubbed against his feet and screamed at him. He placed the can on the floor and went to the living room. After he grabbed his phone, he scrolled through his contacts, then let his thumb hover over his brother’s entry for a minute.

Maybe he should wait and call tomorrow while his brother was at work. He could leave a message. Better yet, he could just text him.

He could practically hear Natalie mocking him. Not that he should care what she thought.
