Chapter Twelve

Two days without Adin. He’d been such a regular presence in Legacy’s life that she felt a little lost. At least she had to work this morning. It’d make day number one go by faster. She had no idea what she would do on Friday. Adin would be back that night, but he expected to be in really late, too late to come over.

Last night, she’d dreamed her familiar dreams of storms, snakes, tornados, but Adin was in this dream again. He’d told her to be careful like last time. She assumed his appearance was due to her spending all day with him the day before. Plus, he was gone to his dad’s. The girl wasn’t in her dream, so she couldn’t ask any questions about what everything meant.

She’d woken up to rain—but not storms. The day felt dreary. She guessed Ms. Gorgos wasn’t looking forward to her working today. That was fine with her. She didn’t feel like being in a good mood anyway.

While she got ready for work, she thought about Adin and his dad. She wondered if his dad would accept Adin’s reasons for staying here, or if he’d keep trying to persuade him to transfer to the university out there. Thinking about that only made her more miserable, so she tried not to think about it…much.

At work, the dreariness continued. Everyone was in a somber mood, and the rain drizzled all day. She and Yale took turns working the cash register while they both worked on inventory. River was there, but he wasn’t really working. He’d been running errands for his mom. Legacy figured Ms. Gorgos intentionally kept him out of the store as much as she could since she was scheduled to work today.

Whenever River was in the store, he smiled at her, but it felt forced. His mood was also sad, but it was as if he were only smiling at her in an effort to lift her out of her bad mood. She knew he wondered why she was feeling down, and she was so wrapped up in her own sad feelings that she didn’t really think about why he was moping.

While River was out on one of his errands, Ms. Gorgos came out into the lobby.

“Ladies, I need to run to the bank. I was trying to wait for the rain to stop, but I can’t wait any more. I should be back in about an hour.”

She seemed pleasant. If Legacy hadn’t known any better, she wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with the woman. She was sure that Yale thought Ms. Gorgos was the nicest woman in the world.

About ten minutes after Ms. Gorgos left, River came back. “Where’s my mom?” he asked Yale since she was at the register. “Her car is gone.”

“She went to the bank. Said she’d be back in about an hour.”

Legacy heard their conversation, but she wasn’t really paying attention. She had her back to them as she organized the magazines on the display rack for the hundredth time today.
