Love And Peaches
“The air smelled like hot tar and melted grape Blow Pop. Murphy squinted at the large wooden front doors, and then at the clock hanging above them. Quarter to three.
Murphy had no romantic notions about finding her father. She wasn’t looking for a hug, or any Oprah-type crying, or hours spent reconnecting. She didn’t want him in her life, and she respected that he had chosen freedom over her. Most girls would have been angry or angst-ridden that their dads had skipped out when they were babies. ...But when Murphy had thought of her dad at all, she had always hoped he was off somewhere living exactly the life he wanted. She understood his desire to be unfettered. She had been sure that, if nothing else, that was something she had inherited from him.
The discovery that he existed in some real, connected way had just made her want to see him; that was all. She knew Jodee was meeting him here. She just wanted to lay eyes on him.
She had gone with Birdie to her mom’s for lunch and had left Birdie there.MoreLess
