Chapter 20

Landon and Nysa were headed back toward to airport. It was a totally different scene than earlier that morning. The ride on the way to the airport and on the plane was just so quiet; Nysa didn’t know what to say to Landon.

“Sweetie, are you ok?” Nysa asked after thinking of a thousand ways to initiate the conversation.

“Yeah, I’m ok!”

All the way back from the JFK, Landon barely said two words to Nysa. When they finally got off the plane and got into the car, Nysa had the driver pull over for a couple minutes.

“WHY ARE WE STOPPING?” Landon asked, very irritated.

“LANDON, WE ARE NOT MOVING THIS CAR, NOT UNTIL YOU TALK TO ME!”

“WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? THAT I HATE MY FATHER RIGHT NOW?”

“YEAH, LANDON! SAY SOMETHING. CRY. CURSE. SAY ANYTHING! You are going to say something. You are not going to sit here and keep everything bottled up! Landon, I don’t know how you feel right now.”

“I feel numb. I really want to hate my father so bad right now. But I just can’t. I wasn’t raised like that. I still love him!”

“Sweetie, you can talk to me. If not to me, you need to talk to somebody. I don’t want to see you slip back into depression again. Landon, let me take you out for a change.”

Laughing, Landon asked, “Really, you want to take me out?”

“I can take my gorgeous man out to dinner! You might have to settle for something like a red lobster,” Nysa replied, giggling.

“Ok, let’s go somewhere and eat.”

“We both have had a long day, so I will call Uncle Larry and tell him that you can’t make it to the meeting. We will go to dinner, and then you will return to my condo with me. You will lay your head in my lap and go to sleep. You are not going anywhere tonight.”

After some hours, Nysa took Landon out to dinner. While they were eating, Nysa told Landon that she would go to the ladies’ room, but she really went to call Uncle Larry.

“Hey, Uncle Larry!” Nysa said after waiting for seconds to hear the voice on the other end of the call.

“Hey, Nysa! How’s Boston? Is Landon trying to make you do all of the work?”

“Well, we had to cut our trip short!”

“Is everything alright?”

“No, Uncle Larry, actually, things are pretty bad.”

“Did you and Landon have a fight or something?”

"No, we’re fine! Our relationship is fine. Uncle Larry, at this point, Landon will need all the help he can get. I can’t really explain it. I can’t stay on the phone for long. Landon is really in bad shape, a lot worse than when Mrs. Lori died. He won’t be able to meet with you tonight. I finally got him to calm down. Please come over in the morning around 9 or 10, but call first.”

“Nysa, what’s going on? What’s wrong with Landon?”

“I can’t tell you. I will let Landon tell you tomorrow.”

“I’m coming over tonight.”

“NO, UNCLE LARRY.
