The Lake House
“The temperature stayed in the high seventies, and the lack of rain in the past month made the humidity tolerable. It reminded him of summer days when he lay on the beach, his mouth smudged with chocolate ice cream, creating pictures out of shifting cumulous clouds as the sun reflected off the lake, making wavy light patterns on the leaves.
It had been weeks since he’d visited Nagog, and he felt homesick. He needed a day to fish with Bill and Carl while they told him their crazy stories. The tho...ught of a meal at Molly’s made him salivate. He’d eaten too many meals in restaurants and at his desk lately. He wanted to lie on the beach, take an afternoon nap, and then have a beer with his grandfather and Bill around the campfire. The last time he’d spent a full weekend in Nagog had been before Annabelle died. Since then, he hadn’t made time for lazy days with his family.
Tom loosened his tie and pulled it from under the collar. Instead of sitting in the grass enjoying the beautiful day, he’d spent ten hours in meetings that concluded with a three-hour dinner with the developer from the West Coast, who had highlighted hair and manicured nails, sucking down oysters and telling Tom he wanted twenty distinctive home designs with all the bells and whistles.MoreLess
