After talking with Kelly about the case this morning, I’m noticeably in a better place about what she should be doing. Things regarding our case are back on track and Kelly is being the super sleuth that we need her to be.

She had some good questions this morning, to include asking for the picture of the sign. Most see it when they’ve never been here before, but as one moves in and out of it on a daily basis, you kinda forget it’s there.

Also, feeling much better from last night’s discussion surrounding Owen’s and my emotions, I’m grateful for our honesty to each other. Although we’re back on good terms, even slapping and joking around again, I still have some reservations about having sex with Owen present, like the air between us still holds a bit of uncertainty.

Once Kelly leaves in search of all things hopefully leading to a perp, me and Owen sit at the kitchen table and discuss what the day before us has in store. “Well, I know that Elizabeth is trying to fix the tractor, although I think it should’ve been working by now,” I say to Owen as he sips his black coffee. How does he drink it like that? A shiver tingles up my spine in disgust.

We’re fortunate today that the pot had coffee in it, at least enough for us to each have a cup. If I saw another empty pot this morning, I would’ve totally gone ape shit, on a tirade for it. Inconsiderate asshole person. Downright selfish.

Owen stares back at me, “But she is a woman you know?”

Placing my hands to the side, I shout, “So the fuck what? My mother could fix a car, or a refrigerator. Just because they are of the female persuasion doesn’t mean that they’re incapable of doing things men can do.”

Owen smirks and says, “Well, I sure as hell don’t want the busy work of a woman.”

“What you’re not realizing is that you do it every day. Whether you cook, clean, wash clothes, what used to be considered woman’s work, no longer fits. We all do whatever we can to make our lives better.” I watch as that settles into his head. “Like making a simple pot of coffee when you take the last cup.”

“I do understand the general belief about gender related jobs. It’s old,” He looks at me quizzically, “You get your ropes all in a knot when the pot is empty.”

“That’s my prerogative,” I say, sucking the last of mine down. “Good to the last drop! C’mon, let’s go check on the tractor.”

“And Elizabeth,” he smiles at me as we walk out the door and I notice that he has a fantastic smile, brimming with pearly white teeth. Playfully, I shove him to the side and quickly step forward. “Hey!” he exclaims. “What’s that for?”

“What? You didn’t see that snipe right there on the ground?” I laugh as he tries to punch me and misses my shoulder. “Nana boo-boo, you can’t hit me,” I tease him, bouncing around like we’re back at mom’s playing in the yard.
