CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

“If you don’t mind, I want to come out to the clubhouse with you today,” Leslie told Tucker over breakfast.

“Sure. What’s up?”

“One of the other women, Mari – I think was her name - was asking about some old iron kettles that are stored in the old barn that sits behind the clubhouse. Your Aunt Meredith said they were your mother’s. I didn’t realize your parents had lived out there in a house at one point.”

“We all lived out there. The house burned not long after my mother died. Marshall and I were already out of the house by then. I was in college and he was living in one of the rooms of the clubhouse. Dad just moved in there too and didn’t bother rebuilding. Those iron kettles were practically the only thing that survived the fire. Like most things, Dad moved them out of sight.”

“Would you mind if I brought some of them home and used them in the garden? They’d make fantastic old flowerpots.”

“I think that would be lovely. Take a look at them and if they are what you want, I’ll have someone bring them over to the house. They are quite heavy to carry.”

“Sounds great. Will you be there long, or should I drive separately?”

“No. I won’t be long today. I just need to have a short meeting with some of the members of the council and then I’ll be coming back to get some work done in the garage. It’s been a handful trying to get bikes done for people and maintain my position as Alpha.”

“Why do you still do that kind of work? I mean, you don’t seem to need the money, and it’s so time-consuming.”

“Oh, that’s easy. I do it because I love it. I’ve always preferred working with my hands. It might not be the traditional use of an engineering degree, but it’s the most rewarding, as far as I’m concerned.”

“I suppose that’s all that matters then. Maybe I should get a hobby.”

“I can’t imagine you having time for one,” he laughed.

“Why is that?” she replied, not understanding the comment.

“Well, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen you idle for more than a few minutes at a time. You’re always busy doing something. You’re with the girls or taking care of something for them. If nothing else, you are reading or researching something. What is it that you find so fascinating?”

“It’s nothing in particular. I’m just curious. I was never afforded much of an opportunity to learn about things. I want to go to school when the girls are a bit bigger, but I can’t spend hours away from them while they are so small.”

“Come on. We need to get going,” he told her.

They left the table and headed out to the car to make their way to the clubhouse. Once they were settled into their seats and headed down the road, Tucker picked up their conversation again.

“You know, you don’t have to wait until the girls are bigger to go to school.
