CHAPTER 11

Over the course of her life Justine had many regrets, which she mentally cataloged and graded on a scale of one to ten, one being a regret of little significance, ten being life changing. The thing with Sean Elliot had been a ten because it was life changing in that she allowed him to mess up her life, but she had no regrets about what happened in the stable.

Some time back she'd gone through a metaphysical phase, reading about reincarnation and soul travel. What she took away from it was, when two people had intercourse, the act bound their souls together for eternity. It bothered her that she'd be bound to men like Sean and all the others she'd slept with to get where she wanted to go, and who she'd felt nothing for, but she found the idea of being bound to Brad for all eternity comforting, like a tonic for the soul.

More important than being bound to Brad for eternity, since that wasn't within her power now, she wanted Sophie to remember her not only with affection, but with respect, a woman she might one day look back on and want to emulate. So she made a solemn vow to maintain a modest demeanor which included, along a sports bra at all times, a turtleneck jersey, but with a shirt over it, also buttoned up, loose-fitting slacks, and socks inside her fleece-lined slippers.

After the session in the stable, Brad was more agitated than usual, and she knew he had big regrets about what happened because he wasn't a one-night-stand man. He had to feel something for a woman before having sex with her. She also knew what happened wasn't his fault. She'd been waiting for him. So if she did have one regret it was that he hadn't wanted it to happen. But it was done, and now the idea of being with any other man shut everything off. In fact, the thought of it made her stomach queasy.

She had just stepped out of the bedroom in her modest attire when she heard the sounds of Ricky and Sophie's voices just outside, and Brad calling out to them to take off their boots before entering the cabin. The kids rushed inside with a great burst of enthusiasm, Sophie talking over Ricky, as she looked up at Justine, and said, "We saw an eagle and he was this big—" she stretched her arms wide "—and he swooped down and caught a mouse—"

"It was a meadow vole," Ricky corrected.

Sophie propped her little hands on her hips. "It was a mouse!" she insisted, and stomped her foot for emphasis.

"Well, whatever it was," Justine said, "Mr. Eagle’s going to have it for dinner."

"Will you come see?" Sophie said, taking Justine's hand. "He has a big nest way at the top of a big huge tree and it's this wide—" she released Justine's hand and stretched her arms out again.

"It's way bigger than that," Ricky corrected.

"It is not!" Sophie stomped her foot again.
