Chapter XVI

Danny

A week went by without any word from him but his mother called her many times. Mrs. Ryder was in a state of such dismay looking for answers of why he had left the way he did. She sobbed loudly whenever she called and begged her for details of what had happened and why he had left. She asked if she could take her to dinner so she could explain to her what transpired. Arianna didn’t relish the thought of speaking to her about all that had happened but she knew Mrs. Ryder was falling apart and she owed that to her. If it were one of her sons, she would expect the same.

“Yes, I’ll come over. I understand how upset you are. I miss him and love him dearly. I always will. I know that might make you feel uncomfortable because I realize how awkward that is when we are both married. It’s shocking to other people besides us and I get that, I do.”

“Please come over as soon as you can. Do you have any free time tonight?”

This last week had been stressful. She had imagined that he would ride 100 miles or so and turn around and come back to her. She had forced herself to believe that.

Mrs. Ryder and Arianna dined in Clearwater at the Kapok Inn. One of Tampa Bay’s tourist traps filled with beautiful scenery and gift shops. It was an open spaced dining area that proved to be peaceful to her.

“So please, Arianna, begin. Tell me why my son has left town. I have not been this upset since my husband died. He calls me but he won’t say a word about it except to say it’s not your fault.”

“It’s hard to say what happened exactly. He just had a meltdown. He had made an appointment to see a lawyer to start the divorce proceedings and he never went. He said he couldn’t go through with it and that maybe he still had feelings for Patty Jo. Then he said he loved me but didn’t know if he could be the guy I needed him to be for the kids’ sake and mine and maybe he should get back together with his wife. But then he said he had never loved her as he loved me and didn’t see the point. He just kept going back and forth and then said if he couldn’t please anyone including himself, maybe he should just go away and live by himself somewhere and wander around for a while.”

“This is just crazy. He has a wife here and financial payments to consider. I hear what you’re saying but it seems like there’s got to be more to it than that. He wouldn’t just leave because he was confused about what girl to have a relationship with.”

“That’s the truth as much as I know it. He just seems to be torn apart and unable to make any commitments to anyone at this time. He also said he wanted some freedom from everyone to think about his life and what direction he wanted it to go in.
