Chapter 8
He took Daniel out to a baseball game. Elise had been working over and he called and asked her if he could do so. It was already February and snow had been falling for the past two days. âYou said you want me to spend more time with him, remember?â he had asked her when she hesitated. So she had said yes, he was right and she wanted them to get to know each other better.
They had grown closer over the past two months. Daniel had asked if he could call him 'Uncle Peter' and he had looked at her. She had told him yes, feeling resentful and happy at the same time. Daniel had been only hers for years now, apart from the relationship he shared with her parents, and she was not certain if she was ready to accept him sharing the love with someone else.
They came home a little after eight with Daniel all excited and talking a mile a minute about the time they had had and what Uncle Peter had bought him. He was wearing a baseball cap over his hair and said he was bursting with all the things he had to eat.
Elise saw them together and something triggered off inside her. She was the one who was supposed to make him bubble over with happiness like that! Not Peter!
âYou look like you had fun.â His grandmother teased him. He was still holding on to Peterâs hand and usually he would rush into her arms, Elise thought, the jealousy rushing through her.
âMom, could you take Daniel and get him ready for bed? I need to talk to Peter for a little bit.â Leslie looked at her searchingly for a moment and then took her grandsonâs hand.
âWill I see you tomorrow Uncle Peter?â the little boy asked looking up at him.
âI am not so sure Daniel, I will let you know.â He gave the boy a brief hug and then Daniel skipped away with his grandmother, talking excitedly about the game.
âAm I in trouble?â he asked lightly as soon as they were out of the room. âI did not realize it was so late and being a school night you must be upset. I assure you it wonât happen again.â
âHe is my son, not yours!â she told him angrily, her eyes blazing. She was being unreasonable but she could not help the words coming out of her mouth. She felt cheated. He had not even hugged her when he was leaving with her mother.
âWhat?â Peter looked at her startled, his gaze narrowed. He was wearing a black sweater and black jeans and his cashmere jacket.
âYou think you can come into our lives and just take him over? He has been my son before you and he will continue to be mine when you are gone!â
The silence that followed her outburst was awful! She wanted to take back the words but they had already left her mouth and she was not sure she wanted them to be unsaid anyway.
