CHAPTER 20

The conversation with Heather had been exactly what Selma had needed; confirmation that what she was doing for Gia were the right things. Heather had been patient and so understanding that Selma almost hadn’t wanted to let her leave the restaurant, but the woman had added her to the online parent group she belonged to, where they discussed their gifted children and the issues they had. Heather had explained that it was a way for them to learn from each other but also to vent about being parents and the toll it took on them at times.

On the drive back to Drew’s apartment, things were fairly quiet between them. It was as if Drew had known that Selma would be thinking about what she and Heather had discussed. The whole lunch, Drew had been relatively quiet, letting Selma and Heather talk about Owen and Gia. She had only chimed in a few times and seemed content to sit back and listen. Selma was so appreciative of this woman who had come back into her life, but she also felt more than appreciation, and it was getting harder and harder not to act on it. She wanted to ask Drew out on a date – or, at least, tell her that she liked her – but she had too much going on to date anyone right now, let alone someone like Drew. And that’s assuming the woman said yes to begin with.

Drew would be traveling around the world just like Selma would be, and while sometimes, they’d be in the same place, other times they wouldn’t. Selma already felt guilty about being here with Drew when she should’ve been at home, spending time with her daughter before she left for the training camp. She couldn’t spend much more time away from her kid, so even if Drew were interested and said yes to them going on an actual date, Selma wasn’t sure how it would work until maybe Gia was eighteen and out of the house or, at least, a teenager who didn’t want to hang out with Selma anyway.

“So, I was thinking that there’s this park where people sometimes do bonfires and stuff… It could be fun. They have some beers there and just hang out.”

“And you want to go?”

“We could go. If you want, I mean.”

“How do you know these people?”

“Most of them are boarders or skiers I’ve met over the years. They’re good people, I promise.”

“And you want to hang out with them tonight?”

“It’ll be fun. Someone always brings a guitar and starts playing something. Everyone starts singing. At first, it’s okay singing. Then, some of the guys drink too much, and it turns into very bad singing.” Drew laughed a little. “Anyway, it’s just an idea. Everyone is sort of around our age. I say sort of because you’re, like, ten years younger than me.”

“I think it’s closer to nine, remember?”

“Still…”

“We can go. I wouldn’t mind,” Selma told her.

“Do you sing?”

“No.” She laughed a little.

“Not even badly?” Drew teased.
