Red Sun
“ “You know I’m thinking about selling it. I don’t really go many places and when I do, I’m usually riding with someone. So, if you think you might want it, let me know and we’ll work something out.”
I smiled. As badly as I would’ve liked to be on wheels and have a little freedom, I didn’t see my dad having that much trust in me. But maybe, just maybe, if I continued to do good at work and stayed out of trouble he’d have a change of heart. “What’d... he say about the stone? Was it what he was looking for?” She inquired, reminding me of my encounter with Jolon a couple days before and of his weak apology.
“Oh, yeah, he said you can go ahead and order more.”
She nodded and walked to the back. I could already tell that this was going to be one of those days that dragged on and on, so I settled in on the stool at the counter and yawned. The floor was still clean from when I’d mopped before we closed on Saturday and everything was already fully stocked. For once, I wished that there was something to do and couldn’t find anything. There was a thin folder holding a stack of papers on the edge of the counter near the phone with a sticky note that read “FILE”. Apparently Ruthann had left it there for me to sort when I had time. I reached for it but then had an idea. If I saved that until around the time that Jolon was due to come in that would give me an excuse to be in the office instead of waiting on him. Feeling like I’d found a way out, I settled back on the stool and folded my arms.MoreLess
