Pelican Pointe Boxed Set Books 1 - 3 (A Pelican Pointe Novel)
Page 85
Cord trudged off, his long legs eating up the ground. He’d be pushing forty by the time he completed his internship. But he could do that at FMRC. He shook his head. He’d done crazier things he supposed than setting out to become a veterinarian at this late stage of his life.
When he got to the Life Sciences Building, he pulled open the door and stepped into the hallway, scanned the nameplates beside each door.
After finding his first class, Molecular and Cellular Biology, he settled into his preferred seating, a desk in the very back of the room.
There were some things that stayed the same and never changed, he thought.
And some things did. Even though he didn’t need the financial help, his father, Gabe, had agreed to foot the entire bill for his stint in college and vet school. In fact, Gabe had donated a very generous sum to make sure FMRC stayed afloat for the rest of the year.
Cord had to admit that in a matter of six short months, Gabe Bennett had become a permanent, steady fixture in his life, something Cord had never thought possible. Only three hours away, the man made a point of visiting him often and when that wasn’t feasible, he still would text or phone Cord almost every day.
Cord couldn’t believe his good fortune in the father department.
Or his good luck. Keegan had agreed to marry him over Christmas break.
While he waited for class to start, Cord nervously drummed his fingers on the wood and decided to open his textbook. He had to look twice at the signature line on the inside front cover that listed all the students who had owned the book over the years. There scrawled on the second line was the name Scott Phillips.
For some reason, Cord felt compelled to thumb through the book.
There it was, practically in the middle, sandwiched between pages 260 and 261, a piece of paper, folded in two, and used like a bookmark at the beginning of Chapter Ten, Biomembrane Structure.
Cord slipped it out, unfolded the note.
I told you it wasn’t your time to go, that you still had a lifetime of things to do. And that’s the fun part. Make sure you never take life for granted again.
Grow old, Cord, live life every day like a precious gift because you never know from one day to the next what the dancing tides will bring to shore.
