The rest of the day I purposely avoided people. When I finished all the tasks I intended to I stepped outside and waved at Shana Thompson who'd come on duty in the southeast guard tower. I sat on a bench in the fading sunlight and a light breeze, leaned back against the siding, and reviewed the happenings of the past week. It had been one hell of a week and I was beat.
A soft voice said, "Want some company?" Kira looked at me sympathetically before she sat. "You alright?"
I smiled weakly and nodded. "Yeah, I'm good. But for some reason I feel like I went ten rounds with a professional boxer. A heavy weight boxer with a hell of a punch. This has been some week."
"It's been a painful week, with the death of James and all the stress you're under from day to day. But remember and bask in the fact that you practically got a standing ovation earlier today from all of us when you leadership was challenged. Everyone here is glad to have you as our leader, caretaker, confessor and most importantly friend."
"And that includes you?"
"Yeah, that includes me. Definitely me."
Kira scooted closer until we touched shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh. We relaxed and together watched the sun set peacefully behind the shimmering trees.
