Liam (2014)
“He wouldn’t normally pick them up but he needed a haircut and decided to kill two birds with one stone. He was calling on Eleanor this evening and wanted to make a good impression.
When they returned to the cabin, he shaved for the first time since he left Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The cold wind was raw on his newly shorn head, making him wonder if he shouldn’t have left it alone and kept the hair and beard.
He dressed with care in his black three piece suit, the only one he’d brought with him from Missouri. He put on his white shirt and black cravat and was assaulted by the memories of Mary’s funeral, the last time he’d worn the suit, of bending down and kissing his wife goodbye for the final time. Holding his children while they cried for the mother that would never again answer.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and willed the memories from his mind. He must look to the future. Mary would want this he was sure, want him to move forward and go on with his life.
He called the ...children to him.MoreLess
