CHAPTER SIX

After Todd left, I wasn’t sure what to do. On the one hand Dave was miserable, but Todd had looked pretty upset by Dave’s words when he’d left also. It had hurt to see the light in his baby blue eyes dim and his face so unhappy. But Dave had seemed fine with me staying around. If this was going to work, all of us had to be treated equally. Dave couldn’t treat Todd like he was the third wheel. It upset me that both of my men were down, and made me feel like crap.

“Dave, what happened?”

“Bev, I can’t talk about it right now. Just suffice it to say I didn’t get the job.”

My normally stoic, even-tempered Dave looked completely dejected. I knew he was frustrated with the job search. The roller coaster of finally getting an interview for his dream job and then not receiving an offer was hard to take. I gently rubbed his back with my hands, trying to calm him. I could feel knots of tension in his muscles.

“Hey, there are plenty of other jobs out there,” I said soothingly, pressing the tips of my fingers to his spine.

“It’s not just the job, though that sucks big time, but it’s Gerald also. My mom called and told me he is pretty sick. They thought it was some sort of virus but he’s not getting any better.”

I winced. “Gerald—that’s one of your dads, right?”

“Yeah,” Dave furrowed his brow and put his head in his hands, rubbing his forehead. “It’s just not been the best day.” He glanced up at me. “Look, I know you are off school for the next few days. I’d like to go visit my parents in the Catskills.”

“That’s in New York, right?”

“Yeah, the southeastern section of New York,” Dave replied, glancing at his watch. “It’s about a five hour drive. If we get started soon, we can be there late this evening.”

“Will you come with me?” He implored, giving me a pleading look.

I’d been looking forward to the long weekend to get caught up on some of my coursework, but how could I refuse Dave. Plus, I really wanted to meet his parents. I would just have to take my work along with me. “Yes, yes of course. Let me pack my things.”

Dave got up from the chair and put his arm around my shoulder. “Thanks Bev. I didn’t mean to be rude to Todd, I just…”

“Shhh,” I put my fingers to his lips. “We’ll work it out. We all have bad days. Let’s get packed.” But though I said the words to reassure him, inwardly, I felt bad for Todd. Dave couldn’t just discard him when he was having a problem. We needed to rally together and support one another in both the good and bad times. But with his dad sick and the sucky interview, now was not the time to discuss things.

After throwing a few things in my duffel, I retrieved my credit card from the dresser drawer. Dave didn’t have any money, so it looked like I was going to have charge gas and food.
