Chapter 12

Karla

I wake up to tires crunching on the gravel outside of my window. I listen to the sound of a vehicle reversing and then driving away. It takes me a moment to remember where I am.

The room is large, with cream-colored walls, and polished pine furniture. A picture of a horse hangs above a dresser that’s across from the bed. The bed is large and comfortable… much more comfortable than the air mattress I’ve been sleeping on lately.

Ah yes, Garrett’s guest house.

Today we’re going to meet, to go over the details of our arrangement.

I’d better make myself presentable.

I quickly shower, dress in a skirt and blouse that I pull from the little suitcase I brought in with me last night, and then brew a cup of coffee in the kitchen. The guest house is stocked with breakfast items, but I’m very picky about the ingredients I use so I pass over a loaf of white bread, over-processed peanut butter, and boxes of cereal with too much sugar.

I’m hungry, but also a bit nauseated, so passing on breakfast is actually okay by me. Once I finish my small cup of coffee (I’m trying to go easy on the caffeine, given my condition), I walk over to the main ranch to see if Garrett is ready for our meeting.

I step up to the front door and press on the doorbell off to the right. I wait five minutes, but no one comes to the door to let me in. Where is Garrett? The central panels that stretch from the top to bottom of the fancy doors are composed of cut, colored glass, and brass designs. It’s hard to see the interior of the house, but I lift my hand up to my forehead to cut the glare of the morning light and peer in. The entryway is empty.

Recalling the sound of a vehicle that I heard this morning, I step off of the front stoop and walk over to the garage. Maybe that sound was Garrett, driving away. If his truck is gone, I’ll know that he is, too.

The garage door is open, and I peek inside. There are five pick-up trucks inside, each one shinier and flashier than the last. Polished, waxed bodies, gleaming chrome rims, and tires half as tall as I am fill the garage, but I don’t see the particular truck that Garrett drove us to the hospital in yesterday. He must be out.

I back out of the garage and scan the driveway. What should I do while I wait for him? Usually, I work on Karla’s Kitchen tasks during my downtime. There are a few calls I need to make, one in particular to the warehouse I’m using to store my sauces, but I’ve been trying to use my phone since I arrived and have yet to find a place on the ranch that gets service.

My gaze lands on my car, and I notice that it’s not as lopsided as it was the night before. In fact, the left front tire is looking very plump.
