I don’t mind listening.
A small smile appeared at the edge of her mouth and she briefly glanced up at him through her lashes. His response wasn’t one that she was used to. Too often in her past she had been snapped to silence by someone close to her. “I think you and I will get along quite well then,” she replied cheerfully, tossing unruly ebony locks over her shoulder. If he was as patient as he thought he was, there was no question that he would be hearing more from her in the future.
She cocked her head at him as she opened the front door. He almost looked as if he was going to decline her offer. She stepped across the threshold and out of the door. Blue followed at her heels. . “No trouble at all,” she replied as the door swung closed when he released it. It caught on the frame instead of fitting properly, and Jules had to lean her hip against it so she could lock it. Her boots made a heavy sound on the stairs as she descended them. Eyes scanned the parking lot and she was unsurprised to find Sai’s car was gone. He often left without saying anything when he was finished. Like he had someplace important to be and they were friends enough that he didn’t have to say goodbye.
Her company followed her obediently, Owen included, and it didn’t shake the imagery of him being somewhat like a wandering puppy. She rounded to the back of a white Jeep Patriot sporting a very heavy coat of red dust. She popped open the backdoor and Blue immediately jumped inside the vehicle, familiar with this particular part of the day. She left it open for Owen to close when Odin situated himself as well, and moved to her side of the SUV.
When all animals and people were secured in the vehicle, Jules plucked a pair of worn aviators from the center console and pushed them onto her face to ward off the setting sun. She started the car, free hand immediately moving the stereo dial, turning down the volume that she usually left way too loud. It quickly receded to a dull noise in the background. Jules backed up into the parking lot and took off down an unpaved path the broke off from the side of the building.
She didn’t talk as she drove, content with the silence and giving him a break from her chatter. It wasn’t long until they pulled up on the cabin, tucked away in the woods and surrounded by looming trees. There was a run-down looking motorcycle parked in front, half-hidden by a dirty canvas. Jules turned off the car and stepped out. She opened the back and the canines poured out of it, Blue taking off to go sniff around the familiar property.
“You’ll probably find a lot...stuff around here,” Jules explained, motioning towards the bike. “My dad liked to fix things and somehow this became, like, his storage unit.” She fiddled with the second set of keys she had grabbed as she walked towards the front door. The deadbolt slid free with an audible click and she swept the door open, flicking the light switch as she stepped inside. “It’s not much, but it’s pretty well-maintained. I think it will be okay for the two of you.”
The cabin was basically a wooden square split in half by a wall. One side housed the kitchen and small living area with a couch against one wall and a desk pushed against the other. The bedroom and bathroom made up the other side. It was simple, but it was clean and furnished, there was an easy charm about it.
