Letting You Know
“The day grew forth full of ink wash grey and brooding clouds, a morning that felt nothing like the normal joy of the holiday season.
I had already been up for a few hours, abusing the hot shower, cleaning up for my own personal trip.
I don't have a lot of time, I need to get into town, buy Leah's gift, then get back before she wakes up.
It seemed an impossible mission, I suspected she'd rise before I returned. But, that was still better than her seeing me leave in the first place. Making up a r...eason that I went out without her was the lesser of the two problems.
Stepping into the kitchen, my eyes flicked over the quiet room. The scent of coffee was strong; I wasn't shocked to see my mother awake, drinking a steaming cup at the table.
“Morning,”
she said to me, smiling over the rim.
“Hey.”
Grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl on the counter, I dropped into a chair across from her. “Is it still okay if I borrow the car to go run into town quick to do some shopping? I'll be back before we leave for Grandaddy’s.”MoreLess
