Chapter Eight

It was after dark when everyone was getting ready to leave. Gina was so thankful to have a day to just relax. She had told her father of her plans for the day and although she felt guilty for missing the time with him, he encouraged her to go. She just hadn’t realized how much she had needed it until now.

“It’s crazy for Mac to drive you home when that’s where we’re going,” William was saying as he came to stand beside her. “I told him that you’ll ride with us.”

“Oh,” she said, looking over her shoulder to where Mac was standing a few feet behind her. He hadn’t spoken more than a handful of words to her all afternoon and her heart sank. He was clearly severing ties with her and although their time together was short, it still hurt. Turning back to William, she smiled. “Okay then. Ready when you are!”

Hugging Lucas and Emma, she thanked them for including her today. “You’ll come for lunch tomorrow, right?” Emma asked. “Maggie will be here and it will be a lot less chaotic and we can discuss the painting for the nursery.”

“That sounds wonderful. I’ll have to leave by one-thirty to get to the hospital but I think that it will be fine. Thank you again, for everything.”

“It was our pleasure, Gina,” Lucas said as he hugged her. “It was really good to see you and I’m sure we’ll be seeing you again before you head back to California.”

“I’m sure of it,” she said. Jason and Maggie came and hugged her goodbye as well and next thing she knew, she was being ushered out the door and into William’s car.

Mac hadn’t said goodbye.

The drive back to the Montgomerys wasn’t very long and once back at the house, William and Monica invited her to have some coffee with them. Gina agreed even though she wanted to be alone and think about where she had gone wrong and misread how things were with Mac.

They were seated at the large table in the kitchen when Gina realized how serious they both looked. “Is everything all right?” she asked.

William looked at his wife before facing Gina. “I was wondering if you’ve talked to Arthur’s doctors yet.”

Gina shook her head. “Not at any great length. Honestly, I’ve just been trying to focus on spending time with him and making the most of the time we have together. His spirits have been up and he’s gained a little weight back and from the few conversations that I have had with them, his scans are showing that nothing has spread.”

William nodded. “That’s all really great news, sweetheart, and I know that your father loves having you here.” He paused and fidgeted slightly in his seat. “There are just some things that you are going to need to start thinking about and maybe now isn’t the time to be having this discussion but I wanted to at least put it out there for you.”

She reached across the table and placed her hand on top of his.
