25 Snake Charmers

Donovan

The nights away from Journey are the worst. I sit in my cruiser, watching for speeders and waiting for dispatch calls. Boredom feeds on the loneliness.

My grandfather made his feelings about Journey known in the only way he’s comfortable. Arnold would never make a big speech about her failings or take me aside for a private lecture. Instead, he schedules me for every night and weekend shift possible to ensure I have no time to see Journey.

And I let him do it.

I should quit the force and find a job suited for a man in love. With a good chunk of cash saved up, I can afford to work a minimum wage job if need be. Every night, I could go to sleep next to Journey. Every morning, she’d still be there. My woman in my bed feels right.

The car is in drive before I realize where I’m going. Tumbling Rock is fifteen minutes away on the highway, but I make it in ten by taking the back roads. The Earlham place looks wide awake when I arrive. The porch lamp is on along with what looks like every light inside. While I’m relieved to know I won’t wake anyone up, I’m wary of having an audience to my clandestine visit.

“What do you want?” Poppy asks, opening the door. “Should I release the hound?”

“I need to talk to your sister.”

“She’s putting Otto to bed. Come back in an hour.”

Frowning, I ring the doorbell before Poppy can shut the door.

“What do you want?” she asks again as if we hadn’t just spoken.

“Is your sister home?”

Poppy rolls her eyes, steps back, and allows me to enter the house.

“Who is it?” Christine asks from a chair.

Hal lifts his head from her lap and growls at me. When Christine notices me enter, she shushes the dog.

“Is something wrong?” she asks, giving me the once over.

Having forgotten I was decked out in my uniform, I shrug. “I’m on a break.”

Christine and Poppy share a look that I can’t even begin to decipher. Before things get more awkward, Journey appears in a long sleeveless flannel shirt.

“What’s wrong?” she asks, sounding like her mother.

“I wanted to see you. I’m on break. Everything is fine.”

Smiling now, Journey follows me onto the porch and shuts the door.

“What’s up really?”

I can’t explain why tonight I needed to see her. Unable to find the words, I cover her lips with mine and hope she understands. Journey’s hands immediately grip my shirt, tugging me tighter. Only when our heated embrace lifts up her shirt, does she pull away.

“I’m not wearing pants,” she says, glancing around at the night.

“Want to sit in the cruiser?”

“No,” she says, frowning at my car. “I can’t bring you inside either. My sister will never leave us alone, and I just put Otto to bed.” Glancing around, she suddenly smiles up at me. “We could go to my gym.”

After walking onto the dew covered grass, I turn around and lift Journey over my shoulder. She gives a startled grunt but doesn’t fight when I carry her to the gym.
