It gave me time to clear my head and settle into my decision to leave. I was feeling a little lost. That job had been my life for so long that I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I tried to calm my mind and enjoy the crisp air and beautiful scenery I took for granted all too often.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen our little cabin came into view, it was a relief to be home. I dropped my bag just inside the door and went to fall onto the couch. Cash jumped up on the end and sat staring at me.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"It's not even close to dinnertime, bud. I know we're home early, but our schedule is going to be changing a bit.\" He just stared at me. \"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm sorry I put you on the spot with Brian, but seeing him jump like that was funny as hell.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCash tilted his head. \"I didn't find it near so amusing.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm pretty sure my jaw hit my lap. \"Did you just talk?!\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCash sat a little straighter. \"You said if I have something to say, then say it.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI was in shock, no, awe, maybe both.

Until now, apparently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI sat up and faced Cash. \"Exactly how long have you been able to talk?\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"I've always been able to talk.
