Quest

An annoying, pecking sound woke me. I groaned and pulled the heavy quilt over my head. Ta-ping. Ta-ping.

Next, my vibrating cell phone joined the chorus, scuttling on the glass top of my bedside table. The clock read two o’clock. I squinted to read the caller’s name. “Hello.”

“Mia. It’s Arizona.”

“Yeah?”

“Are you awake?”

“Do I sound awake?” I sat up and looked for Biscuit. The realization that I’d never see my dog again suffocated me.

I sat up and put my forehead on my knees. “What did you say?”

“I’m outside your window. I’ve been throwing pine cones at your window for ten minutes.”

“Why are you here?”

“Mia. Wake up. This is important.” Arizona spoke in a rush.

I flung my quilt to the side and got out of bed. He had to be crazy. The temperature had dropped to ten degrees—unheard of for most winters around here. Ice with a layer of fine snow covered every surface.

At first, I couldn’t see him. I turned on my light, stood in the window, and glowered at him waving frantically.

I padded across the hall to Pete’s room and listened. The door was unlocked and the room silent, so I peeked inside.

The bed was empty. An avalanche of panic slid into my stomach and I inhaled sharply. A second later, I saw his duffel bag on the chair and exhaled.

He hadn’t left.

After I tiptoed down the stairs, I disabled our home’s security system and my shoulders drew up tight at the beeping sounds in the quiet.

Arizona didn’t waste time and stepped inside. I motioned for him to follow me to my room. Not turning on any lights, I sat on the bed.
