Chapter Six

Jason had made his excuses at the office in Boston when he checked in. After arranging to get out of Europe early, he didn’t stop long enough to check out how Emily’s debriefing went. Instead, he headed straight out of town—straight to Harrison, who sneaked home early, too. He wanted to be in Maryland when she arrived.

Jason looked at his watch for the umpteenth time as he paced along the concrete sea wall, waiting impatiently for her with the rest of the family instead of meeting her the way he wanted to at the airport. He had to forego the trip to the airport when the girls insisted they were going. When Andrea heard about Emily’s flight, there was no denying the girls the pleasure of the trip. Andrea claimed it was a girl-bonding thing, so he had to be satisfied waiting at the dock while Harrison fished. How do a two- and three-year-old develop that female attitude? Genetic programming? Women ruled from the second X chromosome. All men were a lost cause where they were concerned.

He interjected a comment periodically to Harrison, mostly on his poor opinion of fishing, while taking slugs from a bottle of root beer. Harrison came prepared. He’d pulled the frosty brown bottle out of a mini cooler by his side and shoved it in Jason’s hand as soon as he’d stepped on the dock. “Here, you look like you could use this.”

“This is root beer.”

“Anything else, and you’d be asleep before they got home. Jet lag is going to kick in eventually. You want it to happen when you aren’t expecting it?”

“True, I did get some rest on the plane, but not much. I was too worried.” That seemed like an appropriate expression, but it wasn’t exactly what he was feeling. Worried was one emotion, but how could he explain all the rest?

Jason sat down on an old overturned wooden box. As he looked out over the end of the fishing pole Harrison handed him, he visibly relaxed in spite of himself. It was impossible to stay uptight with this view. The light off the marsh water shimmered silver. It glinted in concentric circles where unknown creatures below the surface played. The little finger of land where the dock sat projected into the cove, giving a wide unbroken panoramic view of the river beyond.

“Man, it’s beautiful out here. I can understand everyone’s fascination with this place.”

“In all the years you lived with Avery, and even though Annapolis is just across the peninsula, you only made a couple of brief trips out here. Right?” Harrison pointed toward the house.

Jason remembered Emily and Kate spent most summers hanging with Jorge here while Rosa cared for them. “You know that during the week, I stayed with Avery in DC to finish high school at first. Did a stint in summer school to catch up. Then later, when I went to Annapolis, I just didn’t have time to get over here. Even though it’s just a few miles, we all only saw each other at holidays.
