Tuesday morning, she called Janice before work to tell her where she’d be, and left a message on Frank’s machine with the same information. It bothered her that she was once again relieved he wasn’t home. He was just too cheerful for times like these.

After doing laundry and paying her bills, she packed and put her suitcase in her car. She thought of Misty and her gang. They’d probably be by sometime this week and wonder what happened to her, but it couldn’t be helped. She felt almost lighthearted as she roared down the country roads toward the interstate. In just a couple of hours, she’d be there.

Pulling up to the little ranch style house that her father had built, she let herself in with the key she’d had since grade school. She’d often suggested that her mom move to a condo so she wouldn’t have to worry about maintenance and the yard, but her mother wouldn’t think of it. “No other place is going to have a pantry like this one that your dad made, with shelves just right to fit my containers. And think of the built-in bookcases in my bedroom. Where would I put all my books? And the flower garden—Dad hauled in enough dirt to fill a sink hole in Florida. No, this is the place for me.”

And now as Charlotte walked into the house, she felt relieved that her mom hadn’t listened to her. It was awfully nice to be someplace familiar. And she knew her mom would get strength from this place to battle the cancer. She went around back to look at her mom’s flowers. They were perfect as usual. Charlotte leaned over to smell a rose as big as a saucer and as red as Marilyn Monroe’s lips. She breathed in the sweet scent as if it were life-giving oxygen.

She’d just gone back inside when her mom returned. “How fun to come home and find you here; I thought maybe I’d beat you this afternoon.”

“Not a chance.” They hugged each other more intensely than usual, and Charlotte noticed her mom had trouble letting go.

“Where do you want to eat?”

“Luigi’s, of course. I’ve been hungry for it all day. It’s a little early though.”

“Oh well, let’s beat the crowd. If I know you, you probably skipped lunch anyway.”

Charlotte grinned, “I’m starving now that you’ve reminded me.”
