Owen watched as the truck pulled up. He recognized the driver as the man Jules had mentioned to him the day prior. He had pegged the other man as Jules’ boyfriend or husband, recalling that he was the only other one who worked there. He also recalled the familiar way they spoke with one another. There seemed to be no pretenses. Something long-time lovers usually established over the course of a relationship.
No good mornings were exchanged as Sairus jumped right into accusing Owen of being the new hiree. He didn’t mind as he was used to gruff and somewhat more mute co-workers.
“Ah - yes. She did. I think.” Owen confirmed that he was indeed who Sai had identified him as. “We had some paperwork to do.” Recalling the rapid way Jules had offered him a job, Owen was still unsure whether it was for real or not. Perhaps she might change her might after a night to think things over. Owen was uncertain how to respond to the idea that he was something that Jules might have pitied with her soft spot for everything. He made a mental note to try to be less pitiable in the future. However that was achieved.
“Owen.” He exchanged his name, although he already knew Sai’s.
He waited near the counter as Sai wen through the motions of opening up the shop. Lights flickering above and the computer whirring to life. Odin sat obediently by his side. Owen would have lied to himself if he said he didn’t feel nervous. His body felt like it was ramping up for something. Maybe to run away.
He swallowed and let his hand fall against Odin’s head. “Seattle.” His fingers massaged the shepard’s ear rhythmically. “I just arrived yesterday.” Owen knew that good conversation hinged on an equal give and take so he blurted out the first question that came to mind. “How long have you and Jules been together?”
