Chapter fifteen

Jake

The dam gig will only last for another couple weeks, and I'm already getting calls about leaving town.

A crab fisherman wants me out on the Atlantic, a whole continent away. Hurricane season is starting early in the Gulf, and I'm already in demand down in Louisiana and Texas, oil companies in need of divers to fix up damaged rigs.

And Sarah...she doesn't need me. She's got her own thing going, and she would be just fine without me.

But I want her.

I want her more than I want those jobs, more than I want money or excitement or adventure.

Now I've gotten another taste, I want more, more, more.

She almost never calls--I'm usually the one to swing by her place--so I'm surprised when I get a call from her one Saturday morning. She wakes me up from the dead of sleep, and I have to shake off the Z's and rub my eyes as I croak out a greeting.

"Hello?"

"Hey," she says on the other end of the line. She sounds frazzled--annoyed. "I'm sorry--did I wake you?"

"No, no," I lie. "What's up, cher?"

She sighs. "I'm supposed to be driving out to Willow Creek right now for a wedding and my car absolutely refuses to start. I was wondering if there's any way for me to borrow your truck?"

"Of course," I say. "I'll drive you."

"I..." she pauses, and I wonder what thought she just had and dismissed. "Yeah, that would actually be great. I would appreciate the company."

"And the strong arms for carrying equipment, I assume," I chuckle.

"Hey, I can carry my stuff all by myself," she says, though there's laughter in her voice. "Can you be here in a half-hour?"

"Give me fifteen minutes," I tell her. "I'll be there in a heartbeat."
