“Now that’s what I call a near miss,” Michael said to George as he swigged the last of his beer.

“What, my wreck?” He hitched up his coveralls.

“No, that redhead you’ve been seeing just waltzed in with a trucker. I heard him refer to her as ‘wife’.” Michael pulled down his cap and gave George the eye.

“Shoot, I knew she was married. Why do you think I stopped seeing her?” George asked with a twinkle in his eye.

“Cause, her husband called and said he was on the way home, that’s why.” Michael called for another beer. “You need to start using better judgment when it comes to women.”

Bowie shook his head, watching his uncle and his partner spare. “You’d better not speak so soon, Uncle Michael. I think that blonde coming this way has you in her sights and she doesn’t look happy.”

“Oh, shit,” Michael said. He actually looked under the edge of the bar like he was hunting a place to hide.

“Michael Malone, what do you mean standing me up the way you did? I waited at the diner for you for over an hour.” With one hand on her hip and her breasts almost poking Michael in the face, he didn’t know where to look, much less what to say.

“Well, uh—well, uh...”

“Don’t take it out on him, Maybelline. He had to come to my rescue. I turned my truck over when I ran off the road trying to miss a damn deer.”

Maybelline didn’t look concerned. She ignored George and poked Michael in the chest. “Is your finger broken? Couldn’t you call?”

He was about to answer, when George picked up the mantle of conversation again. “He shoulda called, but there was this nurse…”

POP! She slapped Michael hard on the jaw.

“Hey!” Michael hollered.

“Now, there weren’t no…” George began to protest.

POP!

Maybelline hit George for good measure and stalked off.

Michael turned to George. “What were you trying to do?”

“I was just trying to help.”

“Well, don’t try so hard next time.” Michael rubbed his face while George rubbed his.

“Good Lord.” Bowie laughed. What a day! He was tired from the worry and the running. Dealing with the insurance company was the worst. He checked his watch. Eight. Cassie would be home in an hour.

Cassie.

Off and on all day, something had been worrying him. He doubted if one thing had to do with the other, but he had to find out. Uncle Michael would be the one to ask. “Hey.” He put a hand on his elder’s shoulder. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.” Michael turned to him.

Bowie had always been able to depend on his uncle. He had been there for him through thick and thin. “I want to ask you about the accident when I was a kid. You know, we just didn’t talk about it very much. Neither Dad nor Mom would answer any of my questions. And there’s something I need to know.”

“What is it?” Michael looked him straight in the eye. “It was an accident. Not your fault and it was a long time ago.
