Going Home

“I do. They’re two years old, but they’ll be three when this one is born. They’re rambunctious

boys, but this one is a girl, thank God.” All if this was said as she was moving toward the door in

that heavily-pregnant waddle.

He finished filling his plate and took it over to the counter because the table was full. “It was

really good to see you again, Allie.”

She nodded and waved. “I’m sure we’ll see each other again before you leave. I hope we get

another chance to talk ‘cause I want to hear what it’s like to be a bestselling author.”

Drew stopped her just before she went out the door. “Um, Allie,” he said, walking across to her.

In a lowered voice, he asked, “Have you seen Colby lately?”

She looked up at him and said, “All the time. This isn’t exactly a big city, you know.”

“Is he…uh, is he doing okay?”

She gave Drew a sad smile and patted his arm. “You’ve still got it bad for him, don’t you?”

He didn’t answer, just shrugged.

“Drew, I think he’s doing fine, but he’s had some things happen that I think he needs to tell you

about. I think that it’s past time for y’all to reconnect. Now, I’ve got to get home and rescue my

mother from babysitting duty or she may never do it again.”

He gave her a tired smile and waved as she went out the door.

Kicking his shoes off, Drew fell back on his old bed, having eaten like the condemned man

having his last meal. It seemed odd to be home without his dad there, and he felt uneasy and

sad. He hadn’t realized that he was so hungry until he’d started eating, and now, he was tired

and sleepy. His mother had always said that he was like a little pig – as soon as his belly was

full, he was ready for a nap. Within a minute of his head hitting the pillow, he was out. He

wasn’t aware of anything, no dreams, no noise in the house, nothing until he heard his loud-

mouthed brothers come into the room.

“Well, well, well. Is that the famous author come to our lowly little town, brother? Maybe we

can have a sign made that says DREW HARRISON SLEPT HERE.” That was smart-ass Mark.

Then, Paul. Another jackass. “I do believe it is. He sort of looks like the guy on the back of the

books.”

Drew opened one eye and asked, “Could I help you gentleman with anything?”

Paul spoke up. “Yeah, Mom told us to come and wake you up so that you can get ready to go to

the funeral home with us.”
