I stared at his full bowl of black bean chili I’d made for us. It was untouched, the melted grated cheddar cheese on top looking more like melted plastic. “Huh?” Boner turned to me. “Since when are you not hungry?” I put my empty bowl on the small table to my side of the log bench where we sat on the front porch of his house the following day. The red-orange sun sank on the horizon in the distance. “I drank too much coffee today. Bothered me.” Boner rubbed a hand back and forth across his stomach, right over his scar. We had managed to get another night to ourselves to spend at his house, and this time Becca had come with me. She was already asleep in her new crib upstairs. We’d managed to get her to sleep without a problem even though I’d thought that, since she was in a new environment, maybe she’d be anxious about it. She’d had an active enough day, exploring the house, enjoying the staircase a bit too much for my liking, and coloring nonstop. “Becca loves that room.”
