Wynn in the Willows
Page 22
“Yes and you look lovely. Sit. Eat your breakfast. I want to take a picture of you for the timeline!”
Wynn stood against the wall and smiled.
“Now, it’s time for a new picture!” Roxie held up her camera.
“You need to update your cell phone to one with a camera and get a printer.”
“Never you mind. Stand still, because I am taking the picture right now.” Roxie smiled proudly, and then taped it to the wall where it said, First Day of School. “I may have missed the first day of your going to school growing up, but I shall never miss another.”
Wynn closed the back door and went out to the car. On the seat next to her, Wynn placed her teacher’s book bag. Inside she had her lesson plans for the week and a sack lunch. Jittery with nerves, she prayed for wisdom.
At the end of this very long, nerve-racking day, she’d meet Doug on the beach for dinner. They’d roast hot dogs over an open flame, and follow that up with s’mores – the gooey graham cracker, marshmallow and chocolate treat of campfires far and wide. If the rain held off, they’d watch the sky and hope for shooting stars. Before going home, she’d tell him about her first day as the new Biology teacher at Willow High School, if he was interested. She was in love with the sea, but she was also in love with him.
Doug was in love with her, too. He’d told her so, and though they’d not made plans yet, a wedding was on the horizon.
The sun was barely up and the grass still wet and polished with dew. Wynn drove along the curve of the drive that passed through the orchard where the air was heavy with the scent of apples from the trees that dotted Aunt Roxie’s property. The morning glory vine that covered the fence had died away from the first frost. At the crest of the drive, she braked for the little fox that ran across the road ahead.
And with that, summer had slipped away.
