Chapter Nine

* * *

A few days later, Jim asked his mother if she wanted to go riding. It was late in the afternoon and his father wouldn’t be home for dinner that evening. His father had an important business dinner with a client, which wasn’t unusual. When Jim asked her this she was in the kitchen going rummaging around in the pantry. She stopped what she was doing and turned to face him with a blank expression; a can of peaches in one hand and a jar of hearts of palm in the other.

He smiled. “Why do you look so shocked? Can’t a guy ask his mom to do something without looking suspicious?”

Helen set the food back on a shelf and smiled. Then she grabbed his arms and said, “Wait here. I have to change first. I’ll be right back.” On her way upstairs, she shouted, as if to make sure he wouldn’t change his mind, “Don’t go anywhere.”

When she returned, she was wearing jeans, a white blouse, and a brown suede vest that matched her boots. He smiled and said, “People are going to think you’re my sister instead of my mother.” He’d always marveled at the way his mother never seemed to age. Of course there were a few extra lines on her face and a few veins on her hands. But she was still the same size she’d been the day she’d married his father, she still had her hair colored the same light brown with subtle blond streaks, and she never left the house without wearing at least a three inch high heel.

Helen blushed. “Don’t be silly.” Then she smiled and headed toward the back door. She seemed a little hesitant; as if she were afraid she’d say the wrong thing.

They rode to the back pasture and up a wide path that Jim knew would lead them into a wooded section just off the property. The heat wave they’d been experiencing all week had broken and there was a gentle breeze blowing through the trees. They talked about the weather for a few minutes, and then went silent for a while. They hadn’t actually spoken to each other since Helen had confronted him in his bedroom the night he was getting ready to sneak out to meet Len.

As they rode, Helen seemed content not to speak at all and he figured it was her way of letting him know she didn’t want to pressure him that afternoon. Although Jim’s father would have been asking him about his future and law school, his mother always took a different approach. She waited and listened. In some ways her silence could be even louder than his father’s aggressive approach.

When they reached a clearing that bordered a wide meadow, Jim took a quick breath and said, “Let’s get down and walk for a while. We don’t get many days this nice. I’d like to talk about something. I feel bad about what happened in my room the night you asked me where I was going.
