Certain Jeopardy
“Gina sat at the dinner table with her mother. Stacy had set the table for three, but only two of the family sat around the oak dining set.
“I don’t know, sweetie.” Stacy set a bowl of mashed potatoes on the table. “You know that Daddy takes these trips from time to time and we never know how long he’ll be gone. Maybe this will be only for a few days.”
“I hope so. I miss him when he’s gone.”
“He misses you, too.” Stacy looked at her daughter: straight brown hair with blonde highlights hanging pa...st the shoulder, blue eyes that at times seemed brighter than possible, thin frame, and an infectious smile. At twelve years she was still at that wonderful age where parent and child enjoyed each other’s company. Her father often claimed that he lost his free will the day Gina was born. Stacy believed it—and so did Gina. She could play her father like Beethoven played the piano.
Gina was the light in the family, but Stacy wondered how she would change as twelve became thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and— heaven help her—sixteen.MoreLess
