Depweg - Grand Island, Nebraska, 1985

The white Lincoln coupe pulled onto the driveway and into Depweg’s usual spot of the three-car garage. Clicking a button on the remote attached to his visor, the garage door began groaning as it shut before Depweg had even gotten out of his car.

Stepping to the brand-new washer and dryer that sat close to the entrance to the house, Depweg kicked off his scuffed steel-toed boots and slid out of his favorite pair of long-sleeved Dickies coveralls. The faded blue workwear was thrown into the washer along with a heaping scoop of detergent.

The machine was perpetually set to the toughest setting, and Depweg only had to hit start. The basin began filling with water as he opened the door into his kitchen.

With a pair of plain blue jeans and a white tee, Depweg padded through the large kitchen with his white socks, stopping to kiss his one-year-old son, Joey Dawson Depweg.

The child—who was making raspberry noises while slamming his hands on his plate of ground beef—didn’t seem to notice the loving kiss atop his head.

“Hey, handsome,” Meli cooed as she turned from the steaks she was preparing on their five-burner stove.

“Hey, beautiful,” Depweg returned as he crossed the distance to embrace his mate and kissed her deeply.

“You smell,” she teased as she pulled back and rubbed the tip of her nose against his a few times while scrunching her face.

“I thought you liked the smell of cow,” Depweg replied, pulling the top of his shirt up to his nose, making a show of sniffing.

“I didn’t say you smelled bad,” she said with a smile before turning back to the steaks, ensuring the rib eyes in the pan were only seared on the outside and raw in the middle. “Take a quick shower, and the food will be ready when you get out.”

Smiling, Depweg took a step in the direction of their luxurious master bedroom before stopping and excitedly saying, “Forgot to tell ya. Got a promotion at work!”

“Another one?” Meli answered, turning with a proud smile on her face. “You’ll be running that place in no time.”

“Yup. I’m the head of the kill floor now.”

“They must have really liked all the improvements you suggested.”

“It helps to come from the future and know what the USDA and PETA want even before they do.”

“It also helps that you care about the cattle,” Meli stated, taking a step forward to rest her hand on Depweg’s face in admiration.

Depweg smiled in return, bringing up his fingers to rest on the back of her hand as she cupped his face.

“Bwaaah bwah bwah,” Joey Dawson, or JD, offered his own opinion while smacking his plate off the high chair.

“Go,” Meli said, dropping her hand to give Depweg a smack on the bottom. “Shower and come eat with your family.”

Stealing one more kiss from his mate, Depweg strode to their master bedroom, stripping off his shirt as he went.

After his clothes were in the laundry basket, Depweg turned on the shower and began the process of waiting for the water to warm.
