Chapter 12

Kevin awoke to the sound of a large airplane droning overhead as it prepared to land at the Los Angeles Airport. The loud humming sound was so unlike the peaceful and serene sound of the Pacific Ocean outside his windows back home in Mendocino. It amazed him how quickly he had grown accustomed to life in a small town, and he yearned for the moment when he could return home. Yes, he now considered Mendocino his new home and was proud of it. He shuffled over to the small coffeemaker in the room but changed his mind and decided to pick something up on the way to his uncle’s office.

Kevin climbed out of his car and looked at the huge building. Standing at the side was his Aunt Deloris looking like her impeccable self. She was wearing a pretty little pink suit that made her look professional and yet welcoming. Her hair was pulled up in a professional hairdo at the nape of her neck. She waved at him and smiled as he walked towards her. He handed her the cup and smiled.

“You’re so sweet dear boy.”

“Two cream and two sugars right?”

“You have a good memory, too. Good, you’re definitely gonna need it in this place. So many people work here now that it makes my head start spinning just thinking of all the names. He laughed at his Aunt Deloris as they began walking. “First, I’ll introduce you to Jen. She’s the office manager and a peach I tell you. You’ll really like her. She’s single too, you know.”

“Aunt Deloris, I should tell you. I have someone special in my life back home.”

“Really? How come you never told me about her? She must be very special for you to like her. Who is she?”

“Her name is Stephanie. Do you remember the little girl who passed away before I left?”

“Yes. Poor dear. She had been so young. They had it in all the papers. Four of her friends had died at the scene and she had died shortly after in the hospital. Such a tragedy.”

“Yes. Well, I treated that girl, and the woman I’m seeing is her mother.”

“What? Well. I mean, wow.” His aunt’s eyes widened with surprise. “If this world isn’t full of enough surprises already. I didn’t expect that.”

“Ha. I didn’t either. I have to say she saved me, Aunt Deloris. When I was in the depths of despair, feeling like life wasn’t worth living, she saved me. I wanted to abandon medicine, but she pushed me to get back into it, so now I’m ready. We’ve been there for each other through that tragedy. She helped me overcome the struggles I’ve had since Sarah and Rachel’s death. Her daughter reminded me so much of Sarah that I couldn’t eat or sleep or even think straight. Aunt Deloris, she brought me back from the brink of death. Literally. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know if I’d be here standing in front of you.”

“Poor Kevin.” His aunt reached out and brushed her hand across his cheek.
