Chapter 1
I sat on the bed in the room I am renting from the daughter of the man I love , tears streaming down my face. Earlier that day, Walt and I had had a huge fight, and naturally I it was my own damn fault. Now I'd made an ass of myself and Eamon hates me too. Eamon isn't Walt, but no one is Walt, and I really do like the cop from the neighboring county. Ok, maybe I should not have seduced him after he was kind enough to drive me hoe from the emergency room, but I was pissed at my boss and horny .
I padded to the kitchen , where Cady sat reading some sort of legal brief.
"Wanna talk about it?" she asked me when she heard me walk into the kitchen area.
Hell no, I didn't wanna talk about how shitty my roommate's father made me feel today .Walt and I were in the field and got the call from Ruby to go investigate a " kerfuffle" at the Veterans Administration Clinic . I'd known for a week that Walt was interested in that psychiatrist, but when I asked him point-blank if he is seeing anyone he denied it. But I saw the way that he looked at that doctor . He used to look at me that way. Tears welled behind my eyelids, but I'll be damned if I let Cady see me cry over her father.
" No. Got any more beer?"I asked Cady.
She pointed to the fridge.
Deftly I opened the door and grabbed two cans of Rainier beer- Walt's beer. Damn, don't those Longmires drink ANYTHING else?
" Thanks," I muttered to Cady and scuffled back to my room.
Safely inside my bedroom, I flopped onto the narrow single bed and popped open the tab. Gulping the frothy liquid, I snorted and wiped y mouth with the back of my hand. The bed covers were still messy from my wild one-night stand with Eamon, and I made a mental note to myself to take the sheets and towels to the laundromat in Durant tomorrow- I just wanted to erase that night from my memory.
"I don't want to be a pawn in whatever dynamic you have going on with Walt," the other deputy told me after I'd foolishly mentioned to him that Walt asked my opinion on hiring him to replace the deputy whom my boss had fired.
Eamon is correct, there is something between Walt and me, and has been ever since I arrived in this God-forsaken county . At first I thought that he only cared for me as a deputy, but after our overnight adventure in Arizona I knew that my boss felt the same attraction towards me that I felt for him.
I only slept with the cop from Cumberland County after Walt became so damn distant after he met that doctor. I saw the notes from Ruby that Walt had collected in his desk drawer, and even if he isn't in a full-fledged relationship with her , he is totally smitten with her.
Finishing the first beer, I crushed the can with my left hand and tossed it into the wastebasket. Tears flowed freely down my face as I recalled my argument with Walt this afternoon. Damn, as long as I was laying it all out I just should have told Walt that I love him. Oh yeah—in my mind I'd uttered those words to him many times, but when reality hits me in the ass I clam up and say nothing. Now the man I love is following another woman around and I totally fucked up any chance I might have had with Walt
