Chapter 11: Tim

I couldn’t believe I had choked like that. There was Cici, standing in front of me and looking like the best thing I’d ever seen in my whole life, and I had just left the building. I shook my head at my own idiocy.

It was Sunday morning, and I was just starting the day in my little apartment over Mr. Kemble’s corner store. He was a bit particular about how he liked things, but he was a reliable landlord. And I counted myself lucky to have gotten an apartment at all, with a felony on my record. Grant Bedloe’s recommendation was worth a lot around here, I was finding out.

My plan was to stop over at Donna’s daycare for a few more hours of work today, then to hike out to the trails above the hotel. I dressed in work jeans and a clean, plain t-shirt. It was hot enough that I would have liked to wear shorts, but it didn’t seem appropriate for the time I’d spend over at Donna’s.

I was still reeling from the encounter with Cici yesterday. She lived here? Or maybe she was just visiting the town, like so many other tourists from Seattle and Portland. What would I say to her if I ran into her again?

I could tell her that she looked amazing. That I could still smell the sweetness of her soft hair in my dreams. I might tell her that when I woke up every morning, she was on my mind, and every part of my body wished that she was lying next to me.

Yeah, I wouldn’t tell her any of that. Stalker, much?

For all she knew, I was just a guy that had slept with her and then never called again. Then it hit me. Oh. Maybe she had never tried to contact me. Maybe it had been a one-night stand from her perspective. For some reason, I‘d never thought of that before. I had only wished, every single day, that I could have met her that night, as I’d promised.

Before I headed down the street to Donna’s, I stopped into the corner store. I figured I could use another little bag of those cookies to get my through my afternoon hike. It might not have been health food, but I was a big believer in picking what I liked and sticking with it. I brought my cookies up to the counter to pay, but had to stand there for a minute while Mr. Kemble sorted out the boxes he was stacking behind the counter.

Finally, he looked up at me. “Hey, Tim. You like those cookies? I’m not sure if they’re right for my store.”

I couldn’t help but tell him the truth, even if it made me sound like a kid. “I really do. They remind me of something my mom would make.”

Mr. Kemble chuckled. “Hey now, that’s quite an endorsement. Well, look at that. If you wait a minute, you can meet one of ladies who make those cookies.
