We returned to the waiting area and sat with her parents for a while and then they left us to grab something to eat, forcing Ben to go with them. Eventually they came back and shortly thereafter the doctor returned to talk to us. Ivy and I remained seated and her parents stood on either side of Ben. Her mom held his hand while her dad had his on Ben’s shoulder, silently offering him their presence and their support before the doctor gave them the results. Their unwavering unity punched a hole in my gut. These were good people. They cared about each other. This was Ivy’s world and it was normal. There were no bodyguards. No one tried to screw you over or kill you because of a business deal or because they wanted to protect their illegal trade. Just normal. I looked down at Ivy’s hand enclosed in mine. She squeezed me and I looked up at her.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing. Your parents and Ben and Bev are great people.”

“Yes, they are and they’ve accepted you as an important part of my life, too.”

“You think so?”

“Yes.”

Little did they know.

We weren’t near enough to hear everything the doctor told them but we heard some of it and from the way everyone’s shoulders relaxed it seemed like good news. Allison turned to us and smiled. “She’s going to be fine kids. They got it all.”

Ivy jumped up and rushed to her family, embracing everyone. They stood there crying and holding onto each other.

Yeah, normal. I never felt more like an outsider watching them. The love and care they had for each other was palpable. Joe and I loved each other but we’d never really been the touchy sort until he landed in the hospital. These people showed affection like that all the time. I’m glad I had that brief kind of time with Joe, to tell him I loved him. It wasn’t till Ivy entered my life I even became aware of the different types of intimacy existing between people. Love and loyalty yes, but this was somehow different. What I saw before me I’d never been a part of. But then Ivy, my amazing Ivy, looked up and held out her hand to me. Unable to stop myself, I got up and grasped it like my life depended on it. She enclosed me in the circle. But in my heart I was well aware she couldn’t save me. It was too late.
