Ben glanced out the window again as he hung up the phone. The deer were long gone. But the view was still breathtaking. There were snow-capped mountains in the distance, soaring green trees and glistening lakes. Riston was beautiful and something about the air here really agreed with him. Just looking out the window at the serene views filled him with a sense of peace, and the sureness that this was where he was meant to be.

Chapter 5

When Anna pulled in the driveway, she smiled at the sight of a half-dozen or so deer grazing in the backyard. Growing up in Riston, it was a sight she was used to but never got sick of. As she was getting Taylor and her carrier out of the backseat, she thought she saw movement in one of the windows, in the room that Ben used as an office.

When she came into the house, Ben’s door was closed and she could faintly hear him talking on the phone. Betty came over to help and shut the door behind them. Taylor was ready for a diaper change and a bottle, in that order, and when she brought her to the kitchen for the bottle, she caught a whiff of whatever Betty was stirring on the stove.

“It’s chicken stew for your dinner tonight and I just took a loaf of bread out of the oven.”

So, that was what smelled so good. Fresh baked bread. She would definitely need to check out that gym soon.

“Yum.”

“There’s some leftover lasagna, too. I figured you might want to have that for lunch tomorrow. Ben made a good dent in it today.”

“You’re going to fatten me up,” Anna said with a smile.

“If I do, then I consider it a job well done. Want to try a piece of the bread? I was just about to have a slice with a cup of tea. You can keep me company.”

“Okay, twist my arm,” Anna said as Betty slid a plate with a thick slice of buttered bread across the island. Taylor’s started making noises when she saw Anna eating the bread and she broke off a small piece and gave it to her.

“Taylor likes it.”

Anna spent an enjoyable hour chatting with Betty and feeding bits of bread and butter to Taylor. She learned that both of her children were married. Her son Philip was a resident at Mass General Hospital in Boston and her daughter, Andrea, was a corporate lawyer for a top firm in New York City.

“They’re both doing wonderfully with their careers and are too busy to have children. I keep asking and they tell me as soon as things slow down, then maybe. I’m not holding my breath that it will be any time soon.”

“Do you think either of them might ever move back home, to Riston?”

Betty’s eyes clouded a bit. “I’d love that, of course, but it doesn’t seem likely for either of them. But, you never do know what the future holds.” She cut another slice of bread and gave most of it to Taylor.
