CHAPTER FOUR
A WEEK LATER
âI was surprised when you called,â Laura Dobbins admitted.
âWhy?â
âI havenât talked to you much lately.â
âIâve had a lot on my plate.â
âI thought it might have something to do with your new friend.â
Bridget smiled.
âI see,â Laura said. âThe girls seem to like her.â
âThey do.â
âBridget? How serious is this new interest?â
âYou mean Beth?â
Laura stared at her daughter.
âWeâre getting to know each other.â
âHow well have you gotten to know her?â
Not as well as Iâd like.
âI see.â
âMom.â
âMaybe you should let the girls stay here this weekend.â
âWhy would I do that?â
âSo you can spend a little time getting to know Beth.â
âYou mean so I can have sex,â Bridget said.
âIf thatâs what you want to do.â
âMom!â
âIsnât that what you want to do?â
âI canât believe we are having this conversation.â
âWhy not?â
âWe donât talk about these things?â
âWhat things?â Laura asked. âSex?â
âMom!â
âNo, I guess we havenât talked much about that. Not since you were a teenager.â
âHow about we leave it there?â
âAre you embarrassed?â
âNo,â Bridget said. âItâs just not something we talk about.â
âAre you in love with her?â
âMom.â
âAre we not supposed to talk about that either?â
Bridget sighed. She spent years wishing she could talk to her mother about love, sex, and personal feelings. Laura Dobbins never approached those topics with Bridget. Bridget confided her feelings and her fears to her Aunt Mil. Mil was gone. Now, it seemed Bridgetâs mother was keen to step into the role.
âNever mind,â Laura said.
âMom. Please. I guess I donât understand the sudden interest.â
âYou think my interest in your life is sudden?â
âThatâs not what I meant.â
âI think it is what you mean.â
âNo, it isnât. I know youâre interested in my life. I know youâve always wanted the best for me. We never discuss feelings. We discuss events, goals, and plans.â
âIs that how Iâve made you feel?â
âItâs our relationship.â
âYou think Iâm cold.â
âNo. I donât think that at all,â Bridget said. âI think youâre guarded.â
âIs that what Mildred told you?â
âNot this again.â
âYes, this again. You think you understand what drove us apart.â
âMom, you stopped talking to Martha when she married Nathan. That made it hard for everyone. Over something that had nothing to do with you.â
âItâs more complicated than that,â Laura said. âYou and Mildred arenât the only people who have feelings in this family.â
âLetâs not do this.â
âI think itâs time we do this. You felt drawn to buy that house.â
âAnd you were determined to keep me from it,â Bridget said.
âI donât want to see you hurt.â
âItâs a house, Mom. It canât hurt me.â
âBut what it offers might.â
âThe house isnât cursed, and neither is the family.â
âNot always, no.â
âMom. Please. There is no Morse Curse.â
âYou might be surprised.â
âYou know, for an educated woman, you are superstitious.â
âItâs not superstition if itâs true.â
âOh, for Godâs sake, Mom!â
âMy grandmother told me if a Morse and a Davis ever came together, the curse would be unleashed,â Laura said.
âIâve heard the story. It was a story. Thatâs all.â
âMy grandmother never lied.â
Bridget wasnât sure whether to laugh or scream. Laura held degrees in Art History and English Literature. She spent years teaching at the college level.
