The Way Down
Page 17
Life was so busy these days sometimes Abbey wondered if she and David would ever have time to spend together without the kids or farm or jobs or multitudes of things that needed their attention.
They managed to sneak away for a night here and there with her dad’s help and David’s parent’s help…but sometimes Abbey dreamed of a time when she and David were young and free and had their entire lives stretched out before them.
She would never give up her life now, and she wouldn’t want to do it over again, but at times she regretted giving into the gloom and despair that had overcome her after the death of her mother.
If she’d been able to see David for the man he was, even back then, she would have chosen differently.
She would have chosen him.
But life had a funny way of working itself out, and in this case, it had worked out perfectly.
Pax started to cry in the other room and Abbey jumped up, set her coffee on the table next to her back-porch rocking chair and rushed into his bedroom.
Once again her moment of musing disappeared as reality took over and she immersed herself fully into the hectic and utterly lusciousness that was her life.
