A Killer Column mbtn-2
Page 24
WE WERE NEARLY TO STATESVILLE WHEN ZACH SAID,
“I’ve made my decision about the job.”
That was it? There wasn’t even going to be a discussion? “What did you decide?”
“Unless you are completely against it,” he said, his voice low and resigned, “I’m going to turn them down.”
“I understand,” I said, and then it caught up with me. “What did you just say?”
Zach laughed. “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Savannah, I like the way our lives are right now. Why would I want to get behind a desk again? Things are good, so let’s not mess them up.”
I put my puzzle down and kissed his cheek. “That sounds wonderful to me.”
“I thought it might,” he said.
By the time we got near the Hickory exit, I thought about my uncles, and their great Alaskan adventure. I wondered where they were at that moment, and Zach surprised me by slowing down and getting off the exit. I glanced at the fuel gauge and said, “We don’t need gas.”
“No, but there are a couple of men who’d love to see you. Tom and Barton called this morning. They’re at Tom’s, and they asked me if we’d stop in and see them.”
“And you didn’t tell me?” I said, slapping playfully at his arm.
“They wanted it to be a surprise.” He just grinned at me as he added, “Surprise.”
I had to laugh. It would be good having my family together again. I’d come close to dying at that park, and there wasn’t anything in the world that made me more thankful for what I had than coming close to losing it all.
