It was rounding up towards midnight when he pulled up in his new driveway. It had been a long haul up from the city. His back was tight and his eyes were strained from staring threw the windshield wipers and misty rain. Rolling his broad shoulders back, he unbuckled his seat belt and looked out at his riverside cabin threw the beams of his yellow head lights. “Home.” He said to himself with relief and turned the ignition key back towards himself and killed the lights. For a moment he sat there in the still of nothingness to take in the darkness. There was not a street light or a neighbor in sight. In fact, until his eyes adjusted to the moonless night, he couldn’t see his hand in front of his nose much less his front door. Perfect he thought to himself and swung out his cab door for his thick legs to pour out. The dome light that shone above the rear view mirror illuminated the brim of his ball cap and not much else as the repetitive dinging bell reminded him that his keys w...
Cash was up the following morning bright and early with an agenda. He had his coffee brewing and his eggs in the fry pan. He knew that the ball was in his court concerning his next meeting with Negan, or so he thought so. He had no idea that Negan wasn’t one to look for an invite from anyone. He had showed up the first time unannounced. Cash should’ve take note. He had no idea that as he was changing the water in that jelly jar to keep his rose fresh that Negan was up and planning his day too and no, he wasn’t waiting for Officer Howlett to call or text much less to to magically appear to drink his liquor. He was going to him with that cat. The vet was coming by at 8 am to check River’s hooves and to give Officer Howlett’s new cat its vaccinations. To say that Negan was clock watching was an understatement. He was unsure what he would act upon if at all but what he definitely wanted was to be in Officer Howlett’s company regardless. The cat was his excuse and he’d find an ex...
Cash had gotten home from town right around the lunch hour feeling accomplished and then some. He had his furniture to be delivered shortly and when he had stopped in at the hardware store for a rake and leaf blower he spotted a handful of big, man’s man grills marked down for the end of the season and knew that was coming home too. With the bed of his truck filled full of things to keep him plenty busy for the rest of the week, he stopped in at the grocery store for some fresh steaks to christen the new grill with and some veggies too. His stomach grumbled the whole way home in anticipation. In his mind he thought he’d give Negan a call after his furniture was all squared away along with some other odds and ends and then he’d ask him over for a drink. He wasn’t sure how to pursue a man but he figured it to be the same as any. If he were interested in a female, he’d invite her to dinner or out for a drink. He wasn’t sure if being seen together in Canton would be such a good idea a...
