Chapter 6 – Battle of the Hollow

We gathered some wood from the overhang behind the Inn and made our way to the kitchen door in the back. We paused at the door, and she looked over at me and said, “Hey Imelda?”

I tilted my head and wondered what the look she was giving me was all about, it was almost coy and shy, two things Dorothy Jefferson was not. “Yes?” I swallowed.

She shrugged looking down, her hand still on the peg for the plank barring the door as she asked, “Do you remember the promise?”

I nodded, remembering that day, we had made a pinky promise when she... she kissed me, and the joy of the memory slammed into me. Only now, with her lips on mine, there was so much more going on as my body reacted instinctively. I was suddenly overheating in the winter-like air.

She pulled back with a satisfied smirk on her face, I was too stunned and, aroused, to come up with a witty jab at her smugness. I just stood there with my lips slightly parted, blinking as she turned and slid the peg back and stepped into the Inn with a chuckle.

I was grinning like a fool as I realized I should follow. The weight of the door cause it to swing back and closed in my face on the slated hinges, and I almost dropped my load of wood. I heard more laughter from inside.

My smile grew, why that little wretch. I sighed. Dot had kissed me again. I pushed the door open and followed her through the kitchen. I gave Abbey and the two adorable girls helping her knead bread dough a smile.

Then I hesitated as Hank said, “Hello Imelda, Dotty's putting you to work I see.” I just nodded and followed the beguiling auburn haired beauty into the public space. Casting one last glance back toward the kitchen where he was.

We placed the wood in the rack, the pub was already filling with the die-hards who weren't going to hide themselves away in their homes when the sun set. Dot threw a couple logs on the fire and then turned to me with that self-satisfied grin.

I felt the burn on my cheeks again as I looked down and tucked my dark hair behind my ear. She stepped past me offering a pinky. I roaring fire ignited inside me as I bit my lip and locked mine with hers. She let go then said, “I've never forgotten.” I swallowed then scurried after her like a lovesick girl. Had it truly meant to her what it had meant for me?

She put me to work in the kitchen while Abbey prepared something for me to eat. I realized just how hungry I was as I ate with fervor while Dorothy tended the tables up front. Then we all talked about life in the Hollow, and I avoided speaking of my exploits around the girls. Innocents didn't need to hear of the darkness in the world. They were too adorable.
