Vineyard Chill (2008)
“Clay said, giving me a thoughtful look. “Don’t worry. I didn’t come here to bring you trouble.”“You haven’t,” I said, “but ever since you arrived, you’ve been looking over your shoulder and studying everybody who gets close.”“I think that’s mostly habit.” He smiled. “You know me. I’m peaceful as a lamb, but from time to time there have been people more interested in talking to me than I was in talking to them, so I’ve been obliged to keep my eyes open and to move on a few times when I really didn’t want to.”“Like the move to Alaska.”“Like that. I have nobody to blame but myself, of course. I’ve had plenty of chances to walk the straight and narrow, but every time I’ve started down that road, I’ve managed to wander off into the jungle. About half the time it was some woman sort of beckoning to me, and other times it was some job that looked interesting. I’d meet a lady and we’d hit it off, or I’d be talking to a guy and he’d ask me if I’d be interested in some work that sounded better ...than what I was doing, so I’d throw away the good life and go off with the girl or off to the job.”MoreLess
