After our shift was over, Judy dropped me off at home, and as she drove away I gave her a wave goodbye. After I lost sight of her, I turned and strolled toward the door to my apartment building. I opened it and walked to my room.
After finally getting into my room I went to look at my calendar. I looked at when vacation was. I grinned and pulled out a pen. Under what had already been written, I wrote: 'Vacation with Judy.'
I stepped back to admire my handiwork and then headed to bed.
The rest of the week went by quickly. Me and Judy went through our regular routine. We argued, laughed, and got things done. By the end of the week we had solved our case.
"Hey Nick, I was thinking, we ought to leave early on Saturday so we have a ton of time. Does that sound good?" She asked, sounding extremely urgent. Who was I to tell her no? "Definitely, I'll be ready at 5, sound good?" I replied, hoping I made her happy. To my surprise, it did.
The next day I did as I promised and when I was finished getting ready it was 5. I picked up my bags and headed to the door, but not before my buzzer went off. "Nickkkk come on! We have a train to catch!"
My eyes widened. I threw open my door and slammed it shut behind me before I tore off towards the apartment building's entrance. I stepped out of the building and saw an excited looking Judy tapping her foot rapidly. "Come on! We gotta go!" She said as she saw me.
We caught a cab (which you can somehow do at five in the morning) and it took us to the train station. When we arrived at the train station we grabbed our tickets and quickly got on the next available train.
"There's so much I have to show you when we get there!" She said as the train pulled out of the station. "Like what?" I asked, genuinely curious about Judy's hometown. "Well there's my family's farm, the sugarbeet processing plant, and tons of other stuff too!" She said, grinning from ear to ear. I looked at her and grinned. "Sounds good Carrots."
I could've sworn I saw a pink tinge on her cheeks.
Nah, it couldn't have been.
I sure hoped not.
