Too Much to Learn

Sang

We dropped off Nathan just on the edge of the property, in the woods near where the Sorenson farm started.

“Get back when you can,” Nathan said.

“What are you going to do?” Luke asked him. “Just sit in a tree?”

“I’ll walk around in these woods, see if there’s anything interesting, but keep an eye on the house. Make it look like I’m just exploring.”

He waved to us and disappeared into the woods before we could turn the Tahoe around.

I gazed back using the side mirror at the woods and the Sorenson farm behind us. Worry edged into my thoughts. Nathan being alone in the cold seemed like a risk. Yet leaving my grandfather alone for too long felt worse. Would there be any trouble while we were gone?

Luke drove us into Winchester but slowed when he caught my worried expression. “Are you okay?” he asked.

I’d been looking out the window, at nothing at all really. I would normally have wanted to explore, to see things I hadn’t seen before. Having been very isolated living with my parents, I naturally wanted to see everything possible now.

Yet, I just wanted to go back to the RV and hide today. “I know what I should be doing today,” I said. “I just don’t know if I’m up for meeting anyone else right now.”

“You don’t have to,” he said. “And actually, I’d say don’t. Not with your father’s father. Better if I go in and look and talk to him. We don’t know if he’s ever sent updated photos at all. It seems like that’s a no, but let’s not risk you showing up and pushing our luck. I’ll carry a camera and you can see the whole thing. I’ll ask whatever you want to know. And I’ll come back later to check the house if there’s anything about you in there. It might take me a while. But there’s no reason to for you to meet anyone you don’t want.”

I nodded slowly, grateful for the reprieve. While I was wearing makeup and had changed my hair, it was far riskier to meet this grandfather.

It was years ago of course. I remembered watching baseball, the only thing my grandfather would watch. I didn’t remember the conversations much. Maybe I was too young.

“I wish I could remember why they stopped showing up,” I said.

“We could make a guess there was some disagreement,” Luke said. “But I can ask. If I can think of a way...” He smiled a little. “I kind of wish Dr. Green was here now. He’s got that way of smoothly sliding in questions no one else dares to ask.”

Luke went on to talk about Dr. Green and stories about different times he’d utilized this talent.

Sadly, I wasn’t paying attention, even if I wanted to distract myself. I was zoned, still sleeping, and yet I was awake.

Luke eventually stopped talking and when we got to a stoplight, he turned to me, looked me dead in the eye and said, “Your meter is empty, isn’t it?”

I blinked repeatedly, trying to figure out his meaning.
