“It’s well past dark, Jaime,” Mildred reminded again.

“I know well what time it is, Mildred,” Jaime answered, standing to pace to the window, peer out and then return to his table again.

“Then when are you going to look for her?”

“I’m not going to smother her. She knows where she was going. She is not helpless. She’s just running a little late. Have a little faith!” Jaime said, irritatedly. Then he got up and stalked over to the window again. “What the fuck could be keeping her?”

Mildred pointed her wooden cooking spoon at him. “I just asked you that!”

Jaime huffed at her and sat back down. He didn’t like it. Didn’t like this feeling. He hated the aloneness. The wondering if the person you cared about was okay, or needed you, or maybe just ran away because they couldn’t stand to look at you anymore. He raised his head. “Mildred? You check her room?”

“No. Why would I check her room?”

“Just to be sure,” Jaime answered, noncommittally.

“Sure of what?”

“That she’s coming back.”

“You mean like she ran off without saying goodbye? Naw. Naw, she wouldn’t do that. Besides, the way you two was looking at each other this morning, ain’t no way she’s leaving here regardless.”

“I’m going to check her room,” he said, hurrying toward the back door of the diner.

“What did I just say?” Mildred asked.

“Don’t care. Have to be sure,” Jaime answered.

Mildred shook her head. Her brother and his mate had done a real number on Jaime. She wished often that she could throttle them both for discarding him the way they had. He had commitment issues. And serious issues believing he was good enough for anybody to love. Then she’d remember her brother, the boy she grew up with, and she knew there was no way he’d have just discarded his son the way everybody thought. Something else had to happen. She’d spent her own fair share of time wandering out in the desert looking for any clue of them, but there was never anything to be found.

The front door swung open and a familiar red head flounced in.

“Where the hell you been, girl? Me and Jaime both been just about fit to be tied!” Mildred said, near-shouted before she’d even turned around to fully face the front door. “Least you could’ve done was call and say you’d be late.”

Mildred’s mouth fell open when she got a good look at the woman standing there regarding her with a smirk on her face.

“Well, had I known you were waiting for me, I might have called. But since I didn’t know your number, and still have no clue who the hell you are, I doubt I’d have called anyway.”

Mildred didn’t answer, her mind was busy putting together all the facts it was quickly adding up.

The door behind the woman was shoved open and Jaime stomped through it, already complaining. “I checked her room, her stuff is still there, and her shower hasn’t been used, the pavement is dry.” He got a look at the bright red hair on the back of the head in front of him and relief flooded him.
