CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

On Saturday, I spent the day together with my niece and nephew at the aquarium in Long Beach. Bill and Lisa were grateful for the time together and I enjoyed the time alone with the kids. This was my one regret about deciding to sell my house. I would be down for visits whenever I could, but it was not like seeing them almost every day.

Until I finished the current book those visits would be impossible though. I was considering this book to be the last of the Jessica series. Not sure where I would go next in my writing, I felt that Jessica’s time was over. I needed to move on. Jessica had been with me since the beginning and finally I knew the newest character I had introduced into the book would be her forever love.

I pulled Lisa’s Volvo station wagon into the driveway. My little Saturn Sky, a two-seater would never have fit the kids, the car seats, the stroller, and all the other items that were necessary for a day’s outing. The kids were fast asleep and I was exhausted too. I dreaded the thought of packing for my trip.

Bill came out and carried Marybeth into the house. She was a little rag doll in his arms still fast asleep and clutching her new stuffed sea otter. Jon woke up briefly as Lisa picked him up, but he just cuddled closer to her and fell back asleep. I followed everyone into the house with the rest of the stuff.

Lisa turned and whispered to me, “Let me get them into bed. I need to talk with you.”

I nodded silently and went into the kitchen to wait for Lisa. Lisa and Bill joined me in the kitchen. I scanned their faces, and they both looked serious.

Lisa sat next to me and took my hand in hers. “Bill and I want you to stay here with us tonight.”

I am sure I looked as confused as I felt. “Why?” I asked.

Bill spoke up this time. “Kevin stopped here about an hour ago. He was drunk. He said he knew you were down in Southern California and he was looking for you. He saw your car parked in front of our house. It did not look like he was up to any good either.”

I looked down and rubbed my forehead with my free hand. I did not need this tonight. I was already tired. Looking back up at their anxious faced I tried to reassure them. “Guys, I’m really sorry that Kevin is bugging you. I’ll talk to him and make sure he understands that you are off limits as far as he is concerned. I’m not sure why he needs to talk with me, but I’ll give him a call when I get home. I’ve got to pack for my trip.”

Lisa looked directly at me and frowned, “We think it’s a better idea if you stay here tonight. I’ll go home with you now and help you pack.”

I patted her hand in my big sister way, “I appreciate your concern, but it’s not necessary.
