Excerpt
I decide not
to waste much time on my wardrobe. I grab my new jeans, a long-sleeved
white tee, boots, and veto drying my hair by putting on my favorite camo ball
cap. Once I’m ready, the girls and I grab a bite to eat and all go our
separate ways. I crank up the radio and the heat in the Honda. It
feels like minutes instead of an hour when I realize I’ve been lost in thought
the majority of the way. Can we say dangerous? Note to self: focus
while driving.
I pop in our
drunk mix cd that Caroline always plays in her room while we drink PJ.
It’s a lot more comical to listen to while sober. Seriously, the country
version of “Gin and Juice” and “The Monster” by
Eminem? I can’t help but laugh. It doesn’t get any better when
“Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera begins playing. What was she
thinking? Oh, wait. She wasn’t thinking because she was drunk.
I approach
Grassy Pond, and nothing has changed since Thanksgiving. It’s still
stoplight after stoplight. I can’t wait to hit that gravel
road. I see the farm approaching and feel the butterflies within my
stomach. For once, I’m excited and relieved to be home.
Turning off
the ignition, I see Blue running toward me. As soon as I’m out of the
car, he attacks me. “Yeah, boy, I’ve missed you, too.” I rub behind
his ears and then make my way to the house.
There’s no
need to hurry, because as I glance up, Tessa and Mama are in full out
sprints. I giggle inside. Tessa wraps me in a tight
embrace.
“Miss me
much?” I smirk.
“Char, I
swear. Mama and Daddy have been workin’ me to death on this farm.
If you didn’t get home soon, I might actually have had to take care of those
stupid goats, not to mention sloppin’ the hogs. Yuck!”
I should have
known Tessa was more excited because that meant less work for her, but that’s
my sis, always missin’ when a little hard work needs to be done.
“Hey, hun,
I’m glad you’re home. Your dad’s gone into town to get a few posts for
the fence. I don’t know what has gotten into that bull out there.
It’s like he just doesn’t know which side he belongs,” Mama says.
I pop the
trunk and grab my bags. Mama grabs my laundry basket, and we make our way
into the house.
As I walk
through the screen door, the sound of an F250 that I’d know anywhere rings in
my ears. I smile and throw my bag at the bottom of the stairs. I do
a one-eighty, press the screen door open, jump off the stairs, and run as fast
as my legs will go to that perfect sound. Cash opens the door and steps
out in one swift motion. He has on a pair of jeans, a white plaid pearl
snap, camo hat, and boots. Damn. I jump straight into
his arms and hold him as close as possible.
“Miss me
much?” He winks.
I begin to
laugh uncontrollably. “You know, I just used that line on Tessa.” I pull
him closer. He looks into my eyes, smiles with that damn dimple, and I
feel complete. Cash Money makes me whole.
He finally
puts me down when he hears the screen door open. I see Tessa standing
there with her hands on her hips. “Um, did y’all plan that?”
“Plan what,
Tess?” I question as I straighten my long-sleeved white shirt. Then, it
dawns on me. Jeans, white shirt, camo hat, and boots. Cash and I
look like we planned our freakin’ wardrobe.
“What can I
say? Great minds think alike,” Cash says as he slaps my ass while we walk
toward the house. We go inside and Mama has lunch waiting.
Haven't ready No Turning Back?
