guest.”
As Johnny speaks he lifts the bag handing it to
Stephanie. Laughing she takes the grocery bag checking the
items inside.
Seeing the bag of kitten food, the bag of litter and a
few toys she decides Chase has to be one in a million.
Raising her eyes to look at the Deputy, Stephanie sees him
staring behind her, looking over her shoulder she sees the kitten
sitting on the bottom step cleaning its paw.
Looking back at
Johnny, she states the obvious, “That is my kitten.
Sorry I can’t
introduce you, I don’t know its name.”
At his confused expression,
she explains she is waiting for Chase so he can help pick the name
for their kitten.
Shaking his head, Johnny grins then takes his leave.
As
Johnny walks to his cruiser he wonders how the Sheriff will handle
fatherhood. Once in his car, he waves goodbye to Stephanie. On
the road to town Johnny decides to stop by the diner to share this
new development in the lives of the Sheriff and Miss Stephanie.
Stephanie stands at the door watching until the car tail lights
disappear from view.
Closing the door she turns the lock, walking
to the stairs she picks up the kitten.
Carry the kitten and the food
Stephanie goes to the kitchen.
She places the kitten on the floor
before selecting another bowl from the cabinet.
After opening the
bag of food she puts a little in the bowl and places it on the floor for
the kitten. Picking up the bowl from earlier that held the milk she
rinses it then fills it with tap water. Placing the dish beside the
food bowl Stephanie watches the kitten eat for a few minutes.
Deciding it’s time to find something to eat Stephanie moves to the
refrigerator.
After checking the freezer she selects a frozen pizza.
Finding a pizza pan she sets the oven and waits for the preheat
buzzer to sound.
While waiting Stephanie removes her computer
from the case and plugs it in the electrical outlet closes to the table
turning the computer on she watches as it powers up.
Hearing the
buzzer she goes back to the stove, puts the pizza in the oven and
sets the timer.
As she waits for the pizza to cook Stephanie sits
back down at the table.
Glancing at the computer she decides to
wait until after she eats before logging on.
When the timer beeps
she removes the pizza from the oven, after cutting her a slice she
stands by the counter to eat.
Finished eating she checks the time; it’s early still, just a little
after eight in the evening.
Feeling tired she opts to just watch
television and relax, letting work wait another day.
Powering
down the computer without even checking her emails Stephanie
leaves it setting on the table.
Upon entering the living room Stephanie turns on the
television then she sits on the loveseat as she flips through the
channels; stopping when she finds a rerun of a crime series.
Smiling she snuggles on the couch pulling the throw blanket from
the back of the loveseat over her legs she gets comfortable.
Half
sitting, half laying she leans her head on the back cushion as she
watches the show.
Chase sits down to eat his supper, he wasn’t hungry but his
Mother had brought him a burger plate from the diner.
Knowing
he has to eat he picks up the burger and takes a big bite.
While he
chews he wonders what Stephanie is doing. Is she getting settled?
Is she feeling better?
Swallowing he pushes the burger across the
table. Why is she becoming so important to him?
What is it
about her that makes him want to get to know her better?
Getting up from the table Chase paces around the apartment
above the sheriff office.
He stops in the middle of the room
looking at his home. It is one big room; the kitchen, the bedroom
and small alcove he uses as his living room have no walls to separate
them.
The one closet and bathroom are the only spaces with
doors. Noticing the lack of personal items he concludes he just
spends time here, this is not a home. He had not made it a home;
having lived here for over two years he
