Juniper ‘Yes.’
A single minute later she heard a bang on the door and shuffled out to the living room in an oversized tee shirt of Wolfie’s to open the door, “June!” Whitney barged in with a hug and a shirt in her hand.
“Whitney.” She smiled at her, welcoming her embrace. Her hug was long and rocked side to side. “You were fast.”
“I was at Fade’s. He lives down the road.” She stepped back. “Where’s Wolfgang?”
“Showering.” June turned to the bedroom and back to Whitney.
“Is that his bike out there?”
“Uh, yes.”
Whitney leaned in, “Hot. Anyway, I’ll let you get ready and I will see you in a bit. Cute hair.”
She smiled at her, “Okay, bye.” June walked back into the room and changed her clothes as the sound of the water turned off. The bathroom door opened, revealing Wolfie in a towel and June asked, “How is this?” Showing him her tight jeans and blue tank top.
His eyes darkened, looking for seconds, “I like it.”
“Don’t.” She stopped him, “Get dressed.”
There were quite a bit of cars in the community center parking lot, not as many as Community Day but more than she expected. After resting the helmets on the seat Wolfgang grabbed her hand walking up the sidewalk and into the building. “They’re here!” Brittanya squeaked and ran to them, wrapping her arms around both of them in a group hug. “Thank you Wolfie for bringing her back, and her hair doesn't look too bad.” She released them and June looked around seeing Max and Shianne, who was definitely pregnant, Margaret, Golden and a few of her coworkers, members of the council, Marilyn, Amy, Whitney, Fade, Jay and others she didn’t personally know.
Brittanya handed them both a glass and turned to the small crowd, “Welcome home.” She led them in unison as they toasted to the couple's return.
The guest came and greeted them one by one throughout the night, “Junie babe!” Golden found himself hugging her.
She gasped, “Golden, do I still work with you?”
“Yes, I’ll see you tuesday!” He turned from them after looking Wolfie up and down.
“Congratulations on your wedding.” She smiled at Shianne and Max.
“Thank you!” She rubbed her stomach. “We wish you guys could have made it, but I guess he was off rescuing you or something?” She laughed after her comment, “Baby I’m starving,” She looked at Max as if it was a command and not a comment.
“Welcome back guys, I’m glad you made it Wolfie, now you can take half the load again.” They shook hands with an embrace.
“I appreciate it Max. You’re going to get one hell of a paternity leave in November. I also got hardware for the system, things should start running better when that gets installed.”
“Awesome. I better get her to a table with a plate.” He pulled Shianne away.
Margaret made her way to them, “I’m sorry.” She looked at each of them apologetically, “I wish it didn’t have to go that way and that I knew it was him.”
“No, thank you Margaret, for letting me come back. My life would have drastically changed for the worst if Wolfgang didn’t save me.”
“You’re a blessing here Juniper. I apologize for my misjudgment on Elijah, we’re working on better security. Let me know if I can help you with anything.” She smiled at them both and turned away.
June turned to him, “You know, this is where it happened, where it all went downhill. But I’ve thought about it, if we had known earlier, they still would have asked me to go with him and leave.”
His brow crinkled together, “They asked you to leave?”
“No.” her head tilted, “They told me he wouldn’t remember the island, but he would remember me. And if he could track me the first time, what would stop him the second time?”
He pulled her in by both arms, “I would have.”
June looked up at him, “I mean, you did.” She reached up to kiss him.
