I sat down heavily on the sofa and ran a hand through my hair in frustration.
What a clusterfuck.
When I’d advertised for a roommate, I thought it would be easy to find
someone.
Some of the people I interviewed today were downright scary. Two of them, I
was certain, were only here to case the joint. I made a big point of talking
about the state-of-the-art security system and the guns I kept in the house.
I had neither, but I hoped that would deter them.
One woman who showed up asked me for reduced rent. She’d “make it up in
other ways,” she informed me with a lewd wink. She even offered a sample.
I got rid of her as quickly as I could.
Another woman was searching for someone to look after her. When I
explained the shared duties, she pulled on her hair and asked me if I could
just “do all that stuff” and she’d stay out of the way. I could barely manage
on my own, so I wasn’t what she needed.
The obviously high dude who asked about using the basement to grow his
necessary “medicine” was a no-go as well.
I was ready to give up.
There had only been one decent possibility, and he had called an hour after he
was here to say he’d found another place.
I sighed, looking around. It was a great house. Easily shared, but if I didn’t
find a roommate, I would have to beg Charly to let me go back to the
apartment since I couldn’t afford to live here on my own.
I knew if I told her, she would laugh and remind me I had millions in the
bank, but I refused to touch that money. It was used to help others because it
had never done me any good when I’d needed it. I didn’t want to use it now.
She’d give me a lecture about letting the past go and that purchasing the
house was a positive move. Financially responsible.
The doorbell sounded, and I frowned in confusion. I wasn’t expecting anyone
else. I opened the door a little faster than I should, startling the person on the
other side.
Amber eyes, golden-red hair, and thousands of dots of cinnamon on a heartshaped face that haunted my dreams met my astonished stare. It was a face I
saw often when I shut my eyes.
I met Officer Gallagher on a day when I was dealing with some painful
memories. Determined to rid myself of them, I sat alone at Zeke’s, drinking
far too many shots of tequila and chasing them with beer. When the agony of
the memories became a dull roar, I hazily recalled stumbling outside to my
truck, knowing I needed to sleep it off. The back bench had been used more
than once for a quick nap, and I fumbled with the locks, which refused to
work.
Like an angel, Hannah had appeared. Instead of busting my ass about how
drunk I was, she talked to me, and I attempted to explain my problem. She
was sweet and understanding, more concerned about my pain than the fact
that I was drunk. I knew I said some inappropriate things to her, but she only
smiled and kept me talking. I was in and out, drifting at times, and the next
thing I knew, Brett and Kelly were there. I explained to Brett in what I
thought was a quiet voice my instant fascination with the pretty police officer
and her freckles. They were a particular weakness of mine. I called her
Officer Cinnamon, although it came out sounding more like Occifer in my
state. Brett was equal parts amused and annoyed, and he manhandled me
