“Can we talk for a minute?” He said after a long moment of silence.

“We always talk.” Suzie said.

“You’ve changed.” Jared said abruptly, like he had to push it out.

“What do you mean?” Suzie asked, worried. Wondering if she should tell him the whole story now. Still, unable to handle the crushed look she knew she would see on his faced.

“You’re distracted or something and I want to know if there is something you are not telling me.” He spoke in a quiet voice.

Suzie remained silent for a moment, looking at the ground. In her mind, her silence proved her guilt. He waited. Finally she began with uncertainty, “If I was keeping something from you it would only be because I love you.” It was the first time she had said it from her heart and in the moment she meant it. She did love him and could not stand hurting him. He could hear in her voice she meant it and he moved in beside her supporting her slumped body.

“If you love me, you will talk to me about it so we do not have this distance between us. Okay?” Jared said gently and he kissed her cheek.

Tears welled in Suzie’s eyes as she knew he was right. She blinked them away and kissed his lips. “Ok, Jared. I know. Can we talk about it on the way home though? I just want to enjoy our time here.” And she meant it. He might hate her for it later but she needed some time to think. She had promised herself she would lie about it so what would she tell Jared. How could she turn this situation into a happy ending?

Jared hugged her again. “Okay, he said. Besides, we’re missing lunch and then you are going painting with mom.”

“Yeah.” Suzie said. Then continued with trepidation, “Unless you want to do something together, you could paint too.”

“Nah, that’s not my thing. Dad and I are going to go out on the lake, maybe the last time before it freezes. Give you some time to get creative. We will have our time tonight.” Jared said as they walked hand in hand back to the cabin. But there was an uncertainty between them.

Lunch was, fortunately for Suzie, brief and they all went their separate ways. Suzie sat quietly on the deck swing for a while before making her way to the painting studio. Helen had gone ahead of her and Suzie dragged herself over there, though the mood to paint had left. She was tired and wanted a nap. Her mind was jumping from one thing to the next and she hardly felt like she knew who she was. Suzie shook her head and opened the door.

The first thing she saw when she stepped inside was Jeff’s painting. He had added to it. When had he come here to paint, she wondered. The immense canvas was beginning to be covered in color and although abstract it had a raw emotion to it and Suzie felt tears well in her eyes.
