JUNIPER
Present Day
“I think I’m dying.” My voice creaks into the phone as I talk to Catherine
Johnson. She’s technically one of the bosses on the Johnson Ranch. Next in
line after Catherine would be Russell, and after that it would be Lawson.
Nope, not going there, not even thinking about the horse’s ass. I’m being
dramatic, but waking up with an upset stomach for what seems like too
many consecutive days in a row will do that to a girl. Only today, it was
different. The vomiting started the second I was vertical. I barely made it to
the bathroom, which is where I’m sitting now.
The cold floor tile feels
heavenly on my legs, but that’s where the happiness ends and the
annoyance begins. I absolutely hate vomiting. It makes me cry and makes
me angry. There is nothing worse in my eyes. The last thing I want is to be
overly emotional. Then I become mad at myself. Believe me, it’s not a
pretty cycle.
“Oh no, what’s wrong? Take the day off, Juni. You’ve yet to use any
time you’ve accrued. And make sure you’re resting. I’ll bring over some
soup, electrolyte drinks, and a heating pad.” Catherine’s mom mode is
activated, which doesn’t surprise me. She’s usually there twenty-four hours
a day, seven days a week. But when someone she cares about is sick or hurt,
the love and affection are amplified. And as much as I know she’s coming
from the right place, the last thing I can think about is eating or drinking.
“I’ll take you up on the day off. As for the food and drinks, maybe hold
off for a little bit?” I wince, worrying I’ll upset her. Except making the
slightest move makes my stomach swirl upside down. I’m currently on the
tilt-o-wheel at a carnival, ready to hurl, afraid to ask for the ride to stop. I’m
sucking back air, trying not to move so much as an inch. The toilet is in
front of me just in case, but there is absolutely no way I’m going to toss my
cookies while on the phone with someone.
“Will do. It’ll take me a bit anyways. I don’t have any chicken thawed
out, plus the guys will be here for breakfast soon.” The thought of food is
making the queasiness worse. I’m going to have to end this call soon.
Except I know Catherine more than I do my own parents. She’s not through
with our conversation. She’s a talker, and, well, I know listening is the least
I can do, so that’s what I do as she continues, “Keep your phone near you.
I’ll text you in a little while to check on you. If you don’t answer, and as
long as you don’t mind, I’ll use my key.”
Everyone who works full-time on the ranch lives here. While I’m
fortunate and have a small cabin on the property, a lot of the ranch hands
don’t and stay in the bunkhouse. And now I couldn’t be more thankful, even
if I’m on call constantly with being the only nurse on the Johnson
homestead. I couldn’t imagine being sick and having to share a space right
about now.
