Chapter Fifteen

Mr. Callimer met Melody just as she clocked out.

"Hi Mary. I know Lucas drops you off at Jameson's, but something came up and he left early. I can take you over if you'd like." He seemed distracted, but he smiled warmly. Avery? The baby? Was something wrong with either of them?

"I hate to trouble you," Melody started, but the elder man just smiled and shook his head.

"It's no trouble."

"Is everything all right with Avery and the baby?" It was still too soon for her to go into labor, wasn't it? But then again, look what happened to Shelly and she had been a month and a half away from her due date. She hoped that wasn't the case with Avery.

"Oh yes, they're fine. She's not in labor or anything like that. I don't know fully what's going on yet. Are you ready to get on home?"

Home. That sounded like a far away dream, but Jameson's house felt like home to her. Almost. At least, when she was with Jameson and they had moments where the world and it's problems slipped away, she could easily get away with thinking about it as home.

"I am. I appreciate this."

"No worries. We're all close knit around here. You're doing a marvelous job. Oh! Before we go, I do have your paycheck to give you." Mr. Callimer told her to wait. He came back moments later and handed her a long envelope.

Good. Another paycheck down. She could buy some clothes and things, give Jameson some money and save the rest.

It sucked that she had to keep asking for rides. Maybe she should start walking. The inn wasn't that far from Jameson's and on days like this, she wouldn't have to have someone drive her out of their way. Whether it be one of the Callimers, Lucas, or Jameson for that matter. She needed to gain her independence and figure these things out. She'd come to rely on and like these people too much.

Melody waved goodbye to Mr. Callimer as he dropped her off. The door opened just as she put her hand on the knob. Blaine walked out, followed by Randy. The two had been spending some time together.

"Hey, Mary. We're heading off for a late dinner. You can join us if you want." By the sound of it, Blaine only offered to be nice. She probably wanted to spend more time with Randy. That suited her just fine. She couldn't wait until Jameson came home. What did he have in store?

"No thanks. You two have fun." Melody gripped the handle, eager to get inside.

"Okay. If you're sure."

"I'm sure. I appreciate the offer. I'm just ready to chill for a bit." And hope that you haven't figured out what your brother and I have been doing.

Not that it mattered. She and Jameson were both adults, of course, but the thought of someone else knowing right now bothered her more than it should. Maybe it was due to the fact that she wasn't planning on sticking around.
