Chapter Twelve

Sachi had headed back to the store, returning home a little before six. Beyond nervous, she changed her mind several different times about what to wear. Yes, John had specifically stated casual, but that could mean anything.

Shorts? Jeans? She didn’t have a lot of casual choices other than that. Sure she had dresses and skirts she wore for work, but they weren’t exactly backyard barbecue outfits.

She finally settled on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. She almost forgot to call her dad to let him know she wouldn’t be there for dinner, and was relieved to find out he already had plans to eat dinner with coworkers. Any guilt she might have had about her last-minute plans disappeared.

Glad to see he’s settled in so quickly.

She didn’t mind it, especially since he’d spent so much time focused on her when he first arrived in Florida.

It’s time he gets out and makes new friends.

She pulled up the men’s address on the maps feature on her phone and drove out there. The apartment complex just east of Brooksville looked like it had seen far better days. But when she walked up and knocked, carrying the Key lime pie she’d picked up at Publix on her way over, she was relieved to see a smiling Oscar open the front door on a sparse, yet clean and tidy apartment.

Just in time, too, because the rumbles of thunder that had chased her all the way to their apartment heralded the arrival of a real frog-strangler of a rainstorm.

“Guess I’m here for the duration, at least,” she said with a smile. “Hope this doesn’t mess up your plans for grilling.”

He smiled as he took the pie from her and headed over to the small kitchen with it. “We have a backup plan. Aunt Tammy gave us one of those little electric grills for Christmas last year.”

“Where’s John?”

“Shower. He had an emergency job to handle. He just got home a few minutes before you arrived.”

“Ah.” As she looked around the small combined living and dining room area, she was pleased to see two full discount store bookcases along one wall. She walked over. “Who’s the reader?”

“Both of us. He likes mysteries, and I’m more into sci-fi and fantasy.”

It looked like they had a yard sale coffee table paired with their low-end IKEA sofa and a mismatched thrift store chair.

She loved it and them. Loved that they weren’t all about fake appearances. It said a lot about them.

There were a few prints on the wall that looked like they’d been framed with discount store frames, but the digitally created art was gorgeous. Several different themes, from a futuristic spaceship, to a woodland scene, to a beach scene.

“These are neat.”

“Thanks. They’re mine.”

She looked at him. “You did these?”

“They were projects in college. I don’t get to stretch my chops like that much now. I do ad copy and signs, mostly.” He shrugged. “It’s a living.”

She stared at the pieces again. “You and Brad should talk. He’s an artist. You probably have a lot in common.
