Chapter 10

“I don’t know if this is a good idea. You might come across looking, well, a little ...”

“Desperate,” Karen finished her sister Cindy’s sentence over the phone as they spoke with their brother who was a way down the line on his way to San Francisco.

“What are you talking about? Her father said I could come and pick up the reward personally or he’d send me a check. I thought I could use a change of scenery and just check in on Julie a minute. See if she is adjusting alright.” He let out a deep breath. “You guys wanted to know how she was doing, too.”

“Yeah, but I thought maybe dropping her a line in a couple of weeks, maybe a month or two,” Cindy said sounding as if she were yelling from another room.

Aaron gripped the wheel a little tighter in his hands as he checked the signs on the expressway and began to merge to the right.

“I don’t know what you hens are clucking about. It’s no big deal.”

“Aaron, we just don’t want to see you get hurt ...”

“... By her big, strong fiancé who looks like a man willing to fight for his woman, if you catch my meaning,” Cindy added.

“Thank you for your concern. I’ve made it to the exit where I’m supposed to get off, so I’m hanging up now.”

“Turn back! While you still can!” Cindy wailed in the background.

“Shut up, Cin! Good luck, Aaron. I hope you don’t get your heart or face stomped on.”

Aaron hung up the phone and listened to the hum of his car’s engine as it moved along the road. In the quiet, without the banter of his sisters or the noise from the radio, Aaron began to listen to his own thoughts and second guess his entire plan.

It had only been a couple of days since Julie left. But her father did invite him. Julie was engaged. But she didn’t seem all that excited about the prospect. Maybe her amnesia was cured. Or maybe not, and Aaron would be one of the most recent good memories she had. For every reason he had to go, he countered it with a reason to turn around, tuck his tail between his legs and just go back to his sisters, his comfy home, his boring job and forget about Julie.

“No. Where’s your sense of adventure? What is the worst she could say? Get out of here? That would be horrible, but I’d survive. Yes, I’d make it.” He pushed the accelerator down a little harder and referred to the GPS directions on the dashboard. His heart began to race with every passing mile. After another two hours in the car, he came to his final destination.

“Jeez, this is a mansion. Wait, get a hold of yourself. You saved their daughter. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like you do. No need to be nervous. They owe you, just remember that Aaron. They owe you.” With three quick, deep breaths he parked the car, climbed out, marched up to the door and rang the bell.
