Gerard
“A month didn’t seem like that to most people, but to her it had seemed like a lifetime or two. As soon as she saw her mom she moved forward, nearly taking down the security officer that was standing by the door when she got there. Her dad was just coming down the steps when she finished hugging her mom.
“You come to meet your old dad, did you?” She said that she was there for Mom, but he was okay to see too. “Hush that now, you know that I’m your favorite.”
“Did you bring me anything?” ...He just smiled at her. It had been their joke, probably for more fathers and daughters than just the two of them, since she’d been a little girl. “I got some news for you too when we get to the car. Things around the ranches have been a little stressful, but we got it handled. Even without you here.”
Helping them get their luggage into the new car had been fun. She teased them about having much more than they’d left with, and told them about the boxes that had arrived yesterday.MoreLess
