Second Chances

For two weeks Ani ate, slept, and went to work; and even there she stayed shut into her office. Kate had tried to talk to her a few times about what had happened, but the damage was already done. She could feel herself shutting everyone off from her world. She didn’t know who to trust or who to believe anymore. She thought that Knox would have always made sure she was safe; she had felt that connection, but it was all just a lie. The night that she stared down the barrel of a gun proved that to her.

Every night the scenario had replayed itself in her head and each night she remembered something new. Maybe she was making it up as she went, trying to force herself to believe that Knox and the M.C. were no good for her. She could hold her own in most cases, with her attitude and strong will, but she knew she wasn’t tough enough for that kind of life. She was stupid to believe she could handle it in the beginning. She longed for Knox’s softer side, the man who could bring her to life with just his words; but that was only a part of him. She had to accept that their timing wasn’t right, maybe if she’d met him in a different time, or a different life, it could work. But for now their fates weren’t destined to be one.

She slipped on her Georgia Boots as she headed out to hook the long white trailer up to her truck. She kissed her dad gently on the cheek as he snored on the couch and then bounded into the fresh Tennessee air. Once she had the trailer attached, she took off toward Cooper Hollow Road. She took in the scenery as she drove, letting the breeze pull each of her worries out the window each time it whipped against her face. She pulled up to a large red barn, backing her truck up next to the first stall as an older gentleman in a plaid shirt made his way over toward her truck.

“Ani girl, how are you?” He pulled the toothpick from his mouth and smiled, “Glad you could still make it today. Looks like the rains gonna hold off for us.”

“Yes sir, Mr. Johnson. It was a nice drive over. How is she?” She couldn’t keep the excitement off of her face as she jumped from her truck.

“She’s been waiting for you. Come on over.” He led the way into the barn, turning before they made it to the last stall, “I had Bobby give her a bath so she’s all dolled up for you.”

As she stepped in front of the last barn stall a beautiful white and buckskin colored face poked out, sniffing at her hair. She looked up into the crystal blue eyes that she’d missed so much over the past week and smiled.

“I missed you too, Catori.” Ani brushed the black hair from her white speckled face.
