The next morning, Kim woke up and prepped herself a cup of coffee. She still needed to unpack most of her stuff, but she felt vaguely unmotivated. She had noticed that Keith left his garden tools in the back yard. She decided to drop them off on his door step on her way to the general store to apply for a job. That way she wouldn’t have to see him at all. While the coffee brewed, she hopped in the tub for a quick shower.

She lathered up her raven hair and gave it a good rinse under the warm running water. She then picked up her loofah and put a bit of cinnamon scented body wash on it. She rubbed the loofah all over her tan skin, working up a rich lather and exfoliating all the dead skin and grime from the previous day. She rubbed her hands over her breasts remembering the pleasure Keith brought her the day before. Her hands retraced the path that Keith’s took as pleasant memories warmed her mind.

It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy yesterday. She enjoyed it, maybe a little too much. She really didn’t want to have any entanglements right now. She made a coffee in her French Press as she thought about yesterday’s whirlwind of events.

As she worked in the garden with Keith, it felt right somehow. It felt as if they should have been together all along. She never did believe in the concept of soul mates, but this was getting scary close to that, and she wasn’t ready.

After all the bad relationships she'd been through, this latest one with Smiley being the absolute worst, to put it mildly, gun-shy didn’t begin to explain what her feelings were regarding relationships right now. So, until she felt ready, she needed to figure out how to keep Keith at a distance, without hurting his feelings. The friend zone wouldn’t work, she knew that.

She sat down at her simple kitchen table and looked out at the garden she and Keith put in. The freshly turned sod steamed in the air, and the discarded garden tools lay in a heap on the ground, shining with a thin sheen of morning dew. The sun shimmered through the thin high clouds that day, promising another hot one.

After she finished her morning coffee, she shuffled through one of the remaining unpacked boxes and found one of her resumes in a file folder. She put it on the table before heading out to the back yard to grab the tools Keith left behind the previous day.

She unlatched her back gate and placed the tools outside of the back yard so she could easily grab them as she walked by. She looked at the pile of tools and felt a small pang of sadness. Impulsively she took a small trowel out of the leather holder and put it behind her gate. One never knows, she might need it, she lied to herself.

She ran inside and grabbed her resume, tucked it under her arm and locked the door behind her.
