Snow Cat

Not a man at all but something more. Something inhuman. It’s a damned good thing you left, Wynn. Because if you hadn’t…if things had happened between us like I sort of hoped they might…would you have told me what you are?


Mick shuddered. Could I…would I have been able to accept it if you had?


“You can’t be cold, Mick,” John said, breaking into Mick’s thoughts. “It’s over eighty outside.”


“And twenty in here,” Mick grumbled. “Damned air conditioning.”


“Uh-huh, not. Whatever’s going on with you, and from the look on your face a minute ago it’s not good, I hope you work it out before you get back from vacation. We need the whole you, not the half you’ve been giving us recently.”


Mick winced. “I’ve been that bad, huh?”


“Well that’s going to change. I’ll come back a new man,” Mick replied with a small grin.


“Naw, just come back as the old you. Not sure I could deal with breaking in a new sheriff,” John said with a straight face. Then he laughed.
