The Magdalena Curse
“The sea was tranquil and the sun was descending and Mark’s arm was strong and true and moved smoothly in the execution of the hard, flat throw he used.
The remedial work had been done in Edinburgh. Most of the procedures had been carried out by two eminent surgeons of her mother’s acquaintance. Mark was naturally strong and had healed quickly and his high pain threshold had helped with the recovery because he had never shirked what the physiotherapist had asked him to undergo. He pushed and pus...hed himself and she was looking now at the result. And if her mother thought it an unnecessarily complicated way of returning him to health, she did not say so. In fact, Elizabeth suspected she was relieved and approving. The time for confounding nature, in both of their lives, was gone.
The sun had set by the time they stopped their game and Adam walked back to where they had earlier had their beach barbecue. His father stayed at the water’s edge, at the brink of the vast Atlantic, as gentle as a pond under the summer night.MoreLess
