Twenty-Three

Henry’s chest tightened. The time for parting had arrived, and far too soon. Annabelle reached up her arms, wanting to be picked up, and he obliged her. She kissed his cheek. He sensed moisture and noticed with alarm the tears creeping down his daughter’s face. “Daddy, please don’t go.”

His heart ached as he gazed into her clear green eyes. “Sweetheart, you’re coming back up to live with me.”

“Right now?”

“No, your aunt and I want you to finish out the semester. But after the Christmas Break, I promise, you’ll come to live with me.”

“And with Charlotte?”

Glancing through hooded eyelids, he noticed Charlotte turning her head away.

“Yes, perhaps,” he said. “It all depends on Charlotte.”

“Oh. I thought she was living with you.”

“No, sweetheart. We’re not living together.” He gazed uneasily over Annabelle’s right shoulder at his sister. Emily stood there, her arms crossed over her chest.

“Charlotte has her own place,” Henry added. “We’re dating, for now.”

“Oh.”

A world of understanding flickered behind those bright green eyes.

“Okay?”

“Yes,” she said, and this time her smile relieved him. She appeared to be, if not exactly happy, then at least content.

Till Christmas.
