Chapter 1
Ashley was so tired; it had been a long day. Her back and feet were protesting loudly and her head ached.
The Chinook Diner was filled to capacity with tourists, loud and ignorant tourists wearing their cameras around their lily-white necks like trophies. Ashley had been a waitress at the diner for three years now. The work was steady, the pay was crap and the customers were reminiscent of animals eating in a zoo, but it was a job.
Summer was always the worst time of the year in Orofino; tourists would flock from everywhere to visit the Clearwater National Forest.
“More coffee Ma’am?” Ashley asked as she stood hovering at the edge of the table with the steaming coffee pot in her hand.
“Yeah, why not. Thank you sweetie,” the woman drawled at Ashley.
As she carefully poured the woman’s coffee Ashley felt something hit her face.
“Ha, ha got you good!” a little voice squealed.
“Seriously, do I look like a human target?” Ashley turned to see a little boy of about seven years old laughing and poking his finger toward her, he was sitting with his parents.
The low flying offensive object was a harmless french fry, but the tomato ketchup covering the said french fry wasn’t as harmless. Ashley could feel the red sticky sauce snaking its way down her face. She knew what she’d like to say to his parents but the customer was always right, as her boss always said, she smiled sweetly while the parents apologized profusely. Ashley made her way to the kitchen.
“Want some fries to go with your ketchup up there honey?” Ashley’s co-worker, Abigail sniggered as she saw Ashley walk in the kitchen.
“Shitty little brat; god I hate summer,” sighed Ashley as she sponged the ketchup off her face.
Ashley was 24 years old and approximately 5’7” tall with a curvaceous fuller figure; she had long straight black hair, which was very often thrown up in a high ponytail.
Her eyes were a striking shade of green and Ashley had a warm smile and a very pretty face, when it wasn’t covered in ketchup. She was proud of her voluptuous cleavage and her shapely ass and sexy legs. Ashley’s younger years had consisted of various episodes of taunting regarding her fuller figure, but now she was beginning to appreciate her size and not envy the slimmer women.
Her words spoken to Abigail in anger were untrue; as Ashley actually loved the summer with its long hot days she just hated tourists.
She was glad when her shift ended. Ashley walked along the leafy lane leading to her home. Home was a three-bed roomed condo, which she shared with her mom. Her dad had walked out a few years ago and Ashley had settled down nicely living with her mom.
There was another family member living in the condo, Ruby a very lively springer spaniel. Ruby, by definition, lived up to her name, as she didn’t so much as walk but rather sprang everywhere. Her nose was always on the floor and her tail was always wagging frantically, she was a liver and white color with ridiculously long pendant shaped ears. She was Ashley’s pride and joy her home was with the family but she was loyal to Ashley, they were inseparable.
“Hello, my beautiful girl,” Ashley whispered to the excitable spaniel as she entered the condo.
Ruby replied with a bark and Ashley knelt on the floor with her.
“You can taste the ketchup can’t you?” Ashley giggled as Ruby licked her face.
“Hey love,” her mom called through from the kitchen.
Ashley walked through to the kitchen with Ruby on her heels. She was greeted with the delicious smell of baking, her mom baked cakes for the local church group. She’d suddenly and unexpectedly found faith when her husband had left, nobody questioned her, if her faith helped her through a tough time then so be it.
“Smells great mom,” Ashley said as she kissed her mom’s cheek.
“What happened to you?” her
