The name was familiar, too, as familiar as my own. I’d read it on a similar card long, long ago…
Later, I thought. I’ll deal with this later.
So I had a lot of things to share with Dewey during our long talks, though, of course, Hal’s visit wasn’t one of them. My next-to-last night in Iowa, she said she had something to share with me, too.
I’d moved from the guest room into her bedroom, and over the last several days, we’d been sharing a lot more than just words.
She asked me, “Remember the night I came to your house and told you about the little ceremony I wanted to have? With those pregnancy test strips I bought at Bailey’s General Store?”
We were in the kitchen, had just finished cleaning up after dinner. I watched her hold up a little box. It was similar to the one I’d found in her bathroom on Captiva.
I said, “Oh yeah. I remember that night.”
She wagged her finger at me, a fun, familiar look in her eyes telling me to follow her to the bedroom. “Well, it’s about time you found out if you’re going to be a dad again.”
Later, as we made love, windows open, the smell of hardwood, clover, and corn moving through my girl’s bedroom, she spoke into my ear: “Are you sure?”
I was thinking of Lake, and Dewey, and of friends who had become more than friends. Key elements came to mind, then key words: family. .. heredity… genetics… blood.
I leaned and kissed her, then kissed her again, feeling her hands on me, searching; felt the imperceptible shifting of her legs as she made a wider space and began to guide me.
“I’m sure,” I said.
