Sage
Sage woke to the smell of hazelnut coffee, Clark still nuzzled in the crook of her arm. Smiling to no one in particular, all the memories of the night before came flooding back as she realized she wasnât in her cabin. âOh, myâ¦â
With determination, she climbed from the bed and scooped up Clark. âCome on you cutie, we have to get downstairs.â
Travis was in the kitchen, two coffee cups in hand. âOh, wow! You scared the devil out of me! Here, I wasnât sure how you like it so I added a little of each, creamer and sugar. Hope that works.â
Clark squirmed in Sageâs arms and happily ran off when she put him down. Travis slipped the back door open smoothly so he could go out. âHeâll be out there for a while. When you're ready, I can give you a tour of the house, a proper tour as you called it, along with the barn and my workshop.â
Sageâs hair was a rat's nest, her skin ruddy and oily, she needed a bath and proper clothing. âCan we do this in about an hour? I want to get home and take care of a few things. I have a few phone calls to make and then we can do this.â
âSure. Let me drive you home.â
It surprised Sage when he pulled around to the front door in a rusty pickup truck. âSorry, I have two other vehicles, my BMW and a motorcycle, but this was the easiest to get to right now.â
âItâs fine. I like old trucks.â
Travisâs hand brushed Sageâs as he opened the passenger side door. âLet me helpâ¦â
âThank you.â Slipping across the worn leather of the seat Sage got comfortable as Travis shut the door.
The morning sun shined bright across the horizon, a chill of air caressing Sageâs cheek through the slightly open window as he drove. âItâs so beautiful here, I always wanted to live here. Donât get me wrong, I love Boston but Maine is so gorgeous.â
âYes, it is. Originally I was born in Alabama, but my parents moved back here a few years later. Sheâd met my father in Alabama and convinced him to come back to her home, nowhere else felt quite like Freeport. Well, we're here.â
Sage had no choice but to accept Travisâ extended hand as he tried to get out of the vehicle. The last thing she wanted to feel was a physical chemistry between themâfresh out of her broken relationship that ended in standing alone at the altar. âThank you.â
âNo problem. I guess Iâll let you be.â
Travis hurried to his side of the truck and darted out the driveway faster than Sage climbed the stairs. Turning around, it shocked her to see him go, wanting to thank him again for his kindness.
âThat man is a strange individual, one minute heâs here pacing around my house at two in the morning, the next heâs gone on the wind on some other agenda. Strange.â
The wind chime hanging from the edge of the porch chimed in the breeze.
