Dear Sam,

There is no easy way to say I am leaving you. My life is with someone I realize I have loved since my college days

Brian will be happier with you. After all, he is a Colton—something I can never become and do not want to be.

Donna

He had sat on the side of the bed and read the lines over and over till his eyes were burning, his vision blurred. Then finally he remembered Brian and ran back to the truck to bring him inside.

He had dressed him in dry clothes, then rocked him to sleep, and only when he was quiet did he phone Donna’s mother in Atlanta.

She had apologized for what her daughter had done and said she had cried when Donna called her from the airport and told her about it. Donna had been on her way to a holiday in the Caribbean with her lover and said the only thing that bothered her was how Brian happened to wake up as she was leaving and seemed very upset. But she was sure he’d get over and that Sam would, too, and everyone would see it was for the best.

Sam had slammed the phone down in the cradle so hard it had broken.

And in that anguished moment, as he thought of his son crying for his mother not to leave him, he knew it was good she was not there, for he’d have lost all control, for sure.

And to have left him, knowing he would be alone till morning was unconscionable.

It was just a miracle he was all right...a miracle he’d not gotten lost in the woods but evidently had waited till first light before starting out to try and find his daddy.

When several days passed, and Brian refused to speak, Sam had taken him to a doctor who was at a loss as to the reason. He said in time he might get over it. But now, over a year later, it did not look as though he were going to.

Sam started the truck moving again.

He did not want to send his son away, did not want to be without him for even a day. But it was constant agony to know he was still suffering from the anguish of losing his mother. She’d not returned, and there had not been a letter or a phone call. Neither had he heard from her family.

So he felt as if he bore the weight of the world on his shoulders, trying to keep the farm going and take care of his son, and he did not need a flatlander moving in and complicating things.

Especially a female flatlander who had a way of igniting feelings and emotions he had sworn never to feel for any woman, ever again.

But, he decided with a weary sigh, it appeared she was going to stay, for a while, anyway, and he supposed he would have to make the best of it.

Only he intended to keep it on a business level.

And he wanted Brian to stay away from her.
