Five: Criminal
What I need is a good defense
‘Cause I’m feelin’ like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I’ve sinned against
Because he’s all I ever knew of love.
“Is there something wrong? You’ve been awful quiet lately.” Brennan asked, staring up at the bedroom ceiling. He was trying to get some sleep, but the light from the lamp on Abigail’s night stand prevented him from slumber. Tomorrow she was going to set out for Vermont, a day earlier than planned but with a storm that was coming Abigail didn’t want to take her chances.
“I’m always quiet, you know that.” She retorted, finishing up a chapter in her book.
He turned to lay on his left side, his back to Abigail. “I know, but you haven’t really said a word since you got back from your studio.”
“That’s because I’ve been thinking, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“You never stop thinking, do you?”
“Not lately, no.”
Brennan sighed. “That’s why I think there’s something wrong. You’ve been acting like there’s something on your mind, this huge decision or something... Is there?”
“Well, I’m worried I’ll miss the deadline or the wall hanging will be hit by lightning on my way there. And I’d like to take a route to Vermont I haven’t taken three hundred times already.” She said, closing her book and setting it on the night stand. She set her alarm and shut off the light, resting her head on the pillow and pulling the covers up to her ears. “The scenery gets boring when one’s seen it more times than one can count.”
“Then get someone else to go and stay here with me.” He suggested.
She buried herself under the sheets more, shutting her eyes and waiting to fall asleep. “If I had a company I’d do that, but it’s just me.”
“Why don’t you hire someone to help you? You get to spend more time at home if you do.”
“I’d rather not. What I do is a hobby that’s turned into a dream job, I’m not about to make it some sort of conglomerate.”
He sighed again, aggravated. “You wouldn’t be doing that, you’d just have a little help.”
“If you want me to have a little help, why don’t you drive around the country and deliver things to my clients? I don’t want to fight, Brennan. It’s late and I have to wake up early tomorrow morning.”

Matt shoved his dirty clothes in the empty bunk below his and sighed, for the first time in his life not up to going to another town. “Do you remember that girl I’ve been talking about?” He asked his cousin Tony, a lanky blonde sprawled out on the lounge couch. Walking into the back room, Matt sat down beside the other man’s feet and looked at the blank television screen.
“How could I not? You only talk about her 24/7.” Tony replied, putting his hands behind his head. “That Abigail girl?”
“I’m falling in love with her. I mean, I’ve never felt this way about anyone before and—” Matt paused, “—even though she’s married...”
Tony couldn’t help but laugh. “You always had bad luck with women, man. But seriously, the girl’s married. You’re just going to have to live with the fact you can never have her.”
“She’s having an affair, Tone, and I’m the guy she’s sleeping with behind her husband’s back.”
“You what?”
Matt shook his head and brought his attention to his cousin. “You don’t get it. Her husband has the IQ of a fucking gnat when it comes to Abigail. He doesn’t know her at all, he doesn’t treat her right. He’s cheated on her four times. You should see the way she looks at me, I... She’s coming to the Concord show.”
“People who have affairs have problems with intimacy. This is probably all about sex to her. She’s only trying to sabotage her relationship with the other dude, and then she’ll cheat on you to ruin your relationship.” Tony explained calmly.
“Stop listening to Love Line.” Matt replied. “You have issues because you fuck every girl that comes along, if you want to get into that. Right now though, I really need to get this all off my chest.”
Tony shrugged. “They’re a family. You’re not going to break up a family, are you? Think of the kids.”
“They don’t have any. Brennan hates kids, wants nothing to do with them. How messed is that? He makes her miserable and she’s happy around me, she’s told me.”
“I bet she’s a loon, you just don’t know it. This is going to come back and bite you in the ass, Matty.” Tony stated. “You’ve gotten into something like this before, and it wasn’t pretty. The second we left she cheated on you, who she used to cheat on her boyfriend, who she used to cheat on her fiancé!”
“Abigail’s not like that.”
The blonde scoffed. “How do you know that? You don’t know the entire story, you could be fucking up something deep.”
“She’s the first person that I’ve ever had feelings like this for. All those corny love descriptions you hear about in movies are finally making sense to me now.”
