good mood today.

“Can you two please move away from the pumpkin? I need to get a few shots without you two in it trying to pick it up.” I fluffed my hair and took a deep breath. Point and Zephyr could find another pumpkin to play on.

“This is what the girls were talking about,” Zephyr laughed. “Down to Business Deedra is here.”

I rolled my eyes. He may not be cranky, but he sure was a smartass. “It’s Professional Deedra, Zephyr, and I didn’t get this far in my career by being a Softy Deedra.” I glared at Point. “I’m gonna hit him if you don’t get him out of my shot.”

Point pushed Zephyr out of the way and gave me a slight bow. “Your stage is set, milady.”

Pat chuckled behind the camera. “First day back to work, and this shit is interesting as hell.” I had briefly explained to Pat that I was going to have company the next few weeks until they figured out who had killed Joseph. He had thankfully nodded his head and took my words for what they were.

I backed up to the camera and took a breath.

Things were definitely interesting, but now it was time to report on this big-ass pumpkin.

I was back to work, but I also had Point and Zephyr tagging along for the ride. At least Point wasn’t trying to tell me I couldn’t work.

Day one…and I prayed for the dust to settle. I didn’t know how long I would be able to work with Point watching my every move. Part of me wanted to pull him behind the hay bales to make out, and the other half of me wanted to kick him to the curb.

I opened my eyes and zoned out on everything except for the camera in front of me. I took a deep breath and plastered a huge smile on my face. “It’s a beautiful day for a hayride and to take a gander at this record-breaking pumpkin at Hank Denise’s pumpkin patch!”

I managed to finish the rest of my report without noticing Point and Zephyr to the side of me. Though I did hear a few scoffs and laughs when I mentioned it was almost bigger than two motorcycles. A good reporter took their facts from wherever they could get them. I assumed they knew what they were talking about so I ran with it.

I may still be a reporter, but I was also an ol’ lady now.

The crowning end to my report was when I signed off with my name. “I’m Deedra Schmid reporting for Channel 10 news.”

“And cut,” Pat called. He lowered the camera and laughed. “You are going to confuse the hell out of the viewers with that.”

I shrugged and handed him my mic. “Maybe it’ll make me more endearing if they find out I have a husband who doesn’t find me a bitch or intimidating.” I knew it shouldn’t bother me, but I was still trying to figure out ways to make myself more endearing to the viewers.

“Worth a shot,” Pat laughed. “I’m gonna get a few shots of people milling around, and then I’m gonna hang with the family.”

I smiled and nodded. I had the same plans. Though my family was a bit different from Pat’s. “Sounds good. I’ll see you tomorrow, Pat.”

“Does that mean you’re done for the day, Deedra Schmid?” Point called.

I shielded my eyes from the sun and smiled. He was leaning against the pumpkin and folded his arms over his chest. “You like that?” I hollered.

Point smiled wide. “Never heard anything better in my life.”

“There she is!”

“Oh, fuck,” Point moaned. He glanced at Zephyr who was a few feet away. “Did you tell them we were here?”

Zephyr shrugged. “It might have been mentioned.”

Kimber and Petra came bounding over with Gunner in their arms.

“Did we miss it?” Petra asked. “We wanted to see you in action.” Her smile was huge and her eyes were filled with joy.

I nodded. “Uh, yeah. You just missed it.” Though they would be able to catch it on the news in a couple of days.

“Fuck,” Kimber grumbled.

“Can you not cuss with my kid in your arms?” Queenie called. She was a few feet behind Kimber and Petra, with Sledge next to her. She had sunglasses over her eyes, but a huge smile sat on her lips. “Sledge wants to be the one to teach him bad habits.”

Sledge scoffed. “I think you got me confused with yourself, doll.”

Queenie pulled down her glasses and glared at
