Touch
“Moving to my clothes, which were back on the chair thanks to my prep the night before, I asked, “Mom, can you come home an hour early tonight? It’s important.”
As I tugged my jeans up, I glanced at my desk. More than half the puzzle lay pieced together. I paused with one leg in and one leg out, staring.
“Do you need me to stay home?” Mom asked her voice laced with concern.
Tearing my eyes from the puzzle, I looked over at Mom while hopping around to get my other leg in. “No, I’m fine. I ju...st want to talk. To all of you and there’s not much time before dark lately.”
“Okay. Today wouldn’t be a bad idea for it anyway. The weather’s going to turn. I think it’s supposed to snow by lunch.”
I grabbed the plate from her hand and kissed her cheek as I rushed by. “Good. I’ll see you later then.” Heading for the bathroom, I devoured the toast in four bites.
By the time I finished in the bathroom, Mom and Aunt Grace had already left. Coming home early meant getting to the office early. Gran sat at the table going through a cookbook when I stepped into the kitchen. “What’s for dinner tonight?”MoreLess
