“Hi, Dad,” she said as Banger came into the kitchen. “Want a cold beer?”

He nodded while smiling. Ever since her mom had died, she’d run to the kitchen when she’d hear his powerful Harley pulling into the garage. She’d always offer him a beer, and then they’d sit down at the table and talk while he had a drink. That’d been their way of staying in touch with each other during her high school years.

“Belle’s upstairs resting.” She reached out and touched his hand lightly. “She’s fine, it’s just the heat. It’s bad enough if you’re not pregnant, but I can’t even imagine having to endure it in her condition. She told me you’re in the freezer every night.”

Banger chuckled. “Freezer, my ass. I’m in the middle of the fuckin’ South Pole. Shit.” He gulped down his beer. “How you been doing?”

“Great. I got the job at the wildlife reserve. I’m super stoked!”

“That’s great, honey. I’m happy for you.”

“I had a good feeling about it when I went in for the interview. It’s going to be such a cool job. I start this Thursday. I’ll be glad to have something worthwhile to do.”

“Is this the big one off the highway?”

“No, this is a non-profit animal rescue. It’s very small, but they’re growing and they work with all sorts of wildlife. It should be fun.”

“Good for you.” Banger rose from his chair and threw his can in the recycle bin. “I’m gonna go up and check on Belle. You staying home tonight?”

“Yeah. I thought I’d make a big salad with a ton of stuff in it, and we can order pizza. It’ll just be the three of us, since Ethan’s over at Luke’s and Emily is with her boyfriend. Sound good?”

“Sounds great. In a couple of hours?”

“Okay.”

Banger left the kitchen, and Kylie wondered if she shouldn’t go over to Jerry’s later that night. Deciding it was a good thing for him to miss her she walked to the reading room, a tall glass of iced tea in her hand, and settled into a cushy chair to read her mystery novel.
