Iris in Bloom: Chapter Eleven

The weather forecast for the weekend was sunny and unseasonably warm for early April.

It was a Friday afternoon and, on impulse, she called Geoff. They were friends, after all. After she’d made it clear that’s all she wanted, he hadn’t made any attempts to get close to her again.

In fact, apart from seeing him every day when he came in for his morning coffee, and that one day talking to his creative writing class, she hadn’t really seen him at all.

Dosana had the day off as she had an exam and there was no one in Sunflower so on impulse, she called Geoff.

She hated to think of him alone on a sunny weekend.

He picked up right away. “Geoff McLeod.”

“Hi Geoff, it’s Iris,” though of course he knew it was her.

“What’s up?”

She could hear noise, laughter, music. Voices. “Did I catch you at a bad time?”

“No. Some of the teachers go out after work on a Friday afternoon is all.”

She heard a female voice with a distinct Texas drawl in the background. Seemed like he wasn’t so lonely after all. But she’d called him for a reason. If they were friends, his dating life was nothing to do with her.

“It’s supposed to be nice Sunday. I was thinking of going on a hike and wondered if you want to come with.”

“Don’t people drink coffee on Sundays?”

“They do but without me serving it to them. It’s my day off.”

“Great. I’d love to. Text me the details.” And he was gone.

Well, seemed like she needn’t have worried about him sitting alone all weekend. She chided herself for being so bitchy. It was good that he was getting out and socializing with his colleagues. And if a certain physics teacher was along, it was nothing to do with Iris. Let Tara Barnes be his transition woman. Iris had made it clear she wasn’t interested in the position.

Sunday dawned as sunny as the weather forecasters had predicted.

Since her dad was coming over to get started on the attic, she knew she had to get out. Jack Chance was funny. If you left him instructions, he wouldn’t deviate from them and he was very good at the things he knew how to do. But if Iris was home, she’d hear the dreaded words, “Honey, can you come up here? I have an idea.” And that would entail listening as he explained why it would be better if the bathroom was over by where she currently planned to put her desk and the closet should be turned into a sauna or something.

Therefore, she’d left him a list, a pot of fresh coffee, a sandwich in the fridge for his lunch and her cell phone number in case he really needed to get hold of her. Since Jack Chance didn’t hold with cell phones she was confident he’d get on with the job at hand and not bother her unless strictly necessary.

She packed her daypack including an extra couple of wicked brownies since she always believed in rewarding herself for a workout.
