Chapter Sixteen - Nina

Life was like a beautiful dream — nothing like the horrors that visited me at night. It was getting to the point where I was dreading the night while rejoicing in the dawn. I couldn’t get enough of being with Chad, even if it was mostly at work. Though we’d managed to figure out ways to be together, like taking extended lunches and meeting up after work. Auntie Blair was more than happy to drive me to whatever meeting spot. There were a lot of picnics, particularly at Album Park. A nice cluster of trees with water views where I was confident we wouldn’t be found. I felt terrible that we couldn’t be open about things but was really just glad we could be together at all. I felt so safe with Chad, so loved.

The picnic date had been the real start of things. The drink had been a plot of my part thought the dinner at his house had been great, especially what happened afterward. Though the park picnic felt like an actual date, like something a real couple would do. Not, just co-workers who’d had a fling. It felt real.

I loved green spaces. And I used to love it when Daddy would take me to the country club. It wasn’t much, but it still gave me a chance to connect to nature. Garrett would play with me in the surrounding woods while the grown-ups did whatever they did there.

“Are you okay, sweetheart?” Chad asked, squeezing me tight as we cuddled under a blanket near the ponds.

“Absolutely,” I said, wiping away a tear, hoping he wouldn’t notice.

We hadn’t had sex again, even though we had the whole weekend away from work to get down to it. I wondered if maybe Chad had regretted what we’d done as if he was taking responsibility for something wrong or something changing. That would be just like him.

The thing was, something had changed, and I wasn’t quite sure how to deal with it.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Auntie Blair asked, cutting to the chase as usual.

“I love Chad,” I said at the breakfast table Monday morning.

“Isn’t that good news? You look like your puppy just died.”

“Yes, yes it is good news, except—”

“Your daddy won’t be happy about his little princess marrying a mechanic.”

I nodded and dropped my head into my arms. “Yeah.”

“Well, you know how I feel about the matter.” My aunt put her hands on her hips.

“Yup,” I agreed.

“And that I think you should tell your daddy to go eat his hat.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. Auntie Blair really did have a way with words. While likely not making much sense to most folk, ‘go eat your hat’ was a grave insult among the Dunn clan. Which Auntie Blair knew all too well.

I just wished I could be so bold. I wanted to be brave, to tell my daddy precisely what I wanted and what I thought, and hang the consequences. I wanted to but wasn't at all convinced that I could.
