Chapter 14

Edward decided that he wouldn’t spend the last night of his trip stewing over the text message he had run across on Savannah’s phone. He’d let it go, just for the night. He’d address it with her the moment they were back in Florida, though. But for the night, he would enjoy his family.

George Symonette’s voice filled the house, along with the smell of johnnycakes and fresh seafood. Bottles of wine were lined up on the coffee table, and Edward’s mother and father danced in the middle of the floor. Edward removed his Calvin Klein loafers from his feet and leaned back on the sofa. Chloe hopped onto his lap. He sipped on a Bahamian beer and watched as his family enjoyed their time together.

“Where’s Samson and his guitar?” Beverly Talbot asked. “I want him to play something.”

“Yes, that would be great,” said Jackson.

“Jackson should sing,” Edward insisted.

“Alyson, go tell your hubby that Mom wants a selection,” said Whitney.

“Go tell him yourself.” Alyson waved her hand in the air and leaned back in her father’s easy chair. “He’s out on the front porch sulking. We had a fight in the cab on the way over.”

Whitney huffed and headed for the porch. “I don’t know how he puts up with you.”

“I don’t know how I put up with him.” Alyson tossed her hair. “And I don’t know where he’s sleeping tonight, because he’s certainly not sleeping with me.”

“Sweetheart, he has to sleep with you. We’re limited on space. And since Edward and Savannah can’t sleep together, we need all the room we can get.” Beverly Talbot smiled at Savannah and Edward. “Sorry, babies, but we’re Baptists, and you’re not married anymore, and we can’t have you sleeping in the same bed. Now, if you decide to remarry...”

“Mother, it’s okay,” Edward interjected as every eye in the house landed on him. “We’re good.”

Savannah smiled sweetly, embarrassment written on her face.

They were both relieved when Samson came into the house with his guitar.

“What would you like to hear, Mother?” he asked.

“Oh, I don’t know. Something sweet. A love song,” said Beverly.

“Something a little more contemporary than George Symonette,” Nate suggested. “No offense, Mother and Pop.”

“None taken,” said Paul John.

Beverly rolled her eyes at her son. “Fine. Something a little more contemporary.”

“Something by Beres Hammond,” Jasmine suggested.

“These American boys don’t know anything about Beres,” Nate teased.

Jackson turned to Samson. “Let’s show them what these American boys do know.”

Samson sat on the edge of the sofa. His acoustic guitar rested on his leg, and his fingertips began to fret the strings. He began to play the tune of Beres Hammond’s “I Feel Good.” Jackson started to sing the lyrics. Samson closed his eyes. He didn’t see that Alyson’s demeanor had changed, and she was hanging on to every word of the song. When he opened his eyes, he smiled at her. Edward bobbed his head and looked over at Savannah, who was consumed by the lyrics as well. He gave her a warm smile.
