Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!

This will be my last snippet from Lud – it’s a little further on in the story, and Lud is doing something odd when Deacon gets home one morning. A bit longer than six sentences, but I hope you enjoy it! 🙂

When I unlocked the door at eleven o’clock, drop-dead tired, the smell of Clorox halted me in my tracks, as did the sight of my roommate vacuuming the carpet in the living room, still wearing the clothes from the night before.

Not believing my eyes, I walked toward Lud and stood in the way of the Hoover. He jumped a little, then turned off the vacuum cleaner, scowling.

“Took you long enough to get home,” was the first thing out of his mouth.

Wow. “Excuse me?”

“Why the fuck are you working sixteen-hour days?” he retorted as he rolled up the cord. “You trying to die early or something?”

“Why are you leaving fifty-dollar tips and acting like someone I don’t know?” I snapped back.

Lud snorted. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”

“You’ve said that before.” I yawned widely and decided now was not the time to argue. I was too tired. “Whatever. Thanks for cleaning up the place, even if it’s just the once. I’ll—”

Another yawned cracked my face and I gave up talking. I thought I heard him call out to me, but my ears were buzzing from exhaustion and I just wanted my bed.
