Take 16

Scene: Emily and Jess’s Backyard

[Gavin]

When I went fishing with Gee, he opened up to me a bit more about his dad, telling me how he was closer to his mother because his dad was strict. To me, it sounded like something a typical kid at his age might say of a parent, but he mentioned again how his father was gone a lot before he was sick. My curiosity about Britton and her relationship with her husband continues.

Dinner hadn’t been my plan, but Gee and I were having a good time fishing. It’d been ages since I went. I remember doing it with my father when I was a kid, probably younger than Gee, but as I eventually had sports throughout the summer and there was always the farm to tend, I grew out of fishing. Gee didn’t have much patience and chattered away quite a bit. The day passed with jokes and stories. The rowboat wasn’t the same one Leo had owned, but it was almost as decrepit as that old one, and I didn’t like the seam of it, slowly seeping water.

Worried about Gee’s safety, I decide to buy Gee a new boat before I leave town.

The idea of leaving weighs heavy on my shoulders with each passing hour. I don’t want to like being back in my small town, but I do in some incremental ways. It’s been great to reconnect with Ethan and Jess, and the party at Jess’s house will be another reminder of all I’ve been missing in family and friends. Then there is Britton and my question as we stood in her driveway. Would she let me come visit her? Would she like to see me again? Could we stay in touch this time?

Britton finally agrees to attend the party at Jess’s house. Gee is invited, as well as the Carter and Scott clans share young cousins, and Holden will be in attendance. For now, Jess and Emily only have his daughter Katie. Jess’s first wife had been a bitch and undeserving of motherhood after what she did to her child. I haven’t interacted much with Emily, but Jess is smitten with her, and I’m so happy for every one of them.

Britton also says she’ll meet me at the party as Gee has baseball practice. Arriving at Jess and Emily’s house, hugs are passed out, and backs slapped as I greet Jess and his future wife. Tom and Karyn are already present with Holden, who immediately asks if Gee and he can go to town for the weekly street fair on Main Street once Gee arrives.

As if on cue, Britton and Gee turn the corner of Jess’s house and step into the backyard. My breath catches at the sight of Britton. In a yellow T-shirt and complementary patterned skirt with her blond hair, she’s a vision of sunshine. Her slight tan enhances her blue eyes, which land on me as soon as she sees me. Her smile is bright as well, and my knees almost give out.
