After the noise of the stockyard, she was relieved to see that the water gardens were as peaceful as she remembered.

It had been Kolton who had first been so amazed by the gardens when they had made the trip with their junior class to Fort Worth. He’d already been fascinated with building things and had made up his mind to major in architecture at Baylor University by then so it wasn’t a surprise that the architecture of the fountains would interest him.

“Let’s go this way,” she said as they turned a corner and headed toward the meditation pool.

“I came here with my high school one year and fell in love with this part of the park,” she said as she took his hand and led him down the path.

While the other kids had rushed off to the larger terraced falls where they could wade down the steps to the pool below, she’d found the private meditation pool surrounded by cypress trees as a respite after the noise of the bus crowded with her friends. It was there that she would tell David about her son. Their sons.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” she asked as she led him to a spot where they could sit. The lights had come on across the park and the sun had begun to set as they had walked through the collection of fountains that covered part of the grounds.

“It is,” David said as he sat next to her. “It’s very peaceful.”

She looked around the area to see that very few people were remaining now. Now the time had come, she didn’t know where to start. She decided on the beginning when she’d first seen David in that waiting room over three years ago, or maybe more appropriate was to start with the ending of a young life that was taken too soon from this world.

Sarah turned toward David, noticing that instead of looking at the fountains he was staring at her.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“There’s nothing wrong,” David said as he moved closer to her. “It’s been a great day. There’s only one problem.”

“What problem?” Sarah asked. The only problem she was aware of was the fact that she was sitting talking nonsense with David when she should have been leveling with him.

“Sitting here surrounded by this beautiful park and earlier when we were at the stockyards, the only thing I’ve been able to think about is how much I’d like to kiss you,” David said. While his voice contained a teasing note, there was no laughter in his eyes.

She tried to make her mind concentrate on what he was saying, but all she could think about was the deep longing she could see in eyes that now appeared more of a smoky gray then their usual mix of green. She knew that feeling. She had felt it ever since he had touched her earlier that day as he had laid his warm hand against her. And before, when his innocent touches at the stable had sparked a long-forgotten desire in her.
