June stepped up to Wolfie, “How long has he known?”
“The day after we met him. He approached me with proof and I told him everything but specifically why, Juniper. He said he would have done the same thing for his wife or daughters.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Her arms crossed.
“I didn’t want you to worry, no one needed to know. You already told me you hated knowing what you know. How would you like me to handle this?”
“I don’t know.” She shook her head. “I’m going to go lay down for a little bit, Zeppelin.” She called him and turned towards the stairs.
He grabbed her arm as it swung away from him, “Hey,” She stepped back, “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Wolfgang
He closed the sliding screen door behind him with two beers in his hand, “Thank you.”
“For what?” Pat acted clueless.
“Hiding her.” He handed his extra beer to Pat as a gift.
“I didn’t hide anybody. You’re sounding like a crazy person.”
Wolfgang smirked, “Well thank you for taking care of her, of us. My mom is extremely grateful.”
Pat didn’t look at Wolfie, he continued looking straight ahead. “I talked to June about you.”
“What do you mean?” His can cracked with a fizzle.
“I don’t want you doing things for a girl who would leave you at the drop of a hat. She likes you.”
“I knew that.” He opened his mouth letting the beer fall in.
“Well I’ve been observing, she’s quiet, but she’s one of us. She’s a keeper.” He knocked his beer into Wolfies. “Good job.”
“Thank you. I waited twenty nine years for her.”
“Nothing like your parents, Marilyn wassoyoung.”
Wolfie looked at Patrick’s narrow eyes and followed his gaze into the trees. “Yeah, they were young.”
“There he is.” Pat stood, set his beer down and hiked the back of his pants up going down the porch steps.
“Seth!” He shouted through the trees. “Seth!” He took a straight path to the neighbors house in the near distance. Wolfie stood to get a better look at the interaction, not sure of what was going on.
The neighbor, Seth, met him halfway. Wolfgang could see by the way Pat was gesturing that he was not happy. His feet apart and arms crossed as Seth responded. Pat then pointed in his face and jerked his thumb back at the cabin. Seth threw his arms in the air and spun to head back to his cabin. “Leave ‘em alone!” He hollered, proceeding to their porch.
Wolfgang sat back on the bench, “What was that about?”
“Had to tell him to leave you two alone. You’re my nephew and niece, not outlaws and quit calling the police on you two.”
He quietly chuckled at his uncle, “Thank you.”
Pat returned to his previous seat, “So what’s the update on your flight?”
“Jay is going to be here sunday. I was asked to help find resources for the island and I have some money left over from,” He paused looking for the word, “you know. So I’ll be gone for a few days. Could you stay here with June while I am gone?”
“Sure can, Syl may come back up on Friday to see you two off.”
