Rock and Water - Chapter 9

... or Alex as she prefers to be called, come to the city to pick him up the next afternoon. We’d spent the last few hours with Addie, and she’s decided after all to visit the farm on the day I’m to go out there. Frank and his girlfriend, Carrie, offer to drop the two of us off in the morning, and pick up Addie at the end of the day. I’ll be staying on for our last days of vacation until it’s time to head home. The next few days with Addie are a whirlwind of shopping, watching silly summer movies, and just hanging out. I won’t say it’s been all easy; preteen hormones would never allow for that, but overall we make the most of our time together. It’s clear she enjoys having me all to herself, but she seems to understand that Patrick and I are involved now, and that we plan to stay together and develop our relationship. She asks some good questions, including if he’ll be sleeping at the house with us. I tell her in time, probably so, but not straight away after she comes home. She seems satisfied with that answer, but she then gets a questioning expression on her face, and looks down at her fingernails shyly. “Do you love him, Mom?” I nod my head. “I do, Addie…very much.” She nods her head, and is quiet for a moment. “I think Dad loves Carrie.” She peeks her eyes up to mine through her eyelashes, looking to see how I feel about this news. “That’s good honey.

It’s so good to see Patrick, but we curtail our enthusiasm a little for Addie’s sake. The plan for the day is for the three of us to ride horses through fields and trails, our destination a sheep farm owned by some of their friends. Once there, we’d sample some cheeses and tour the ranch before heading back. Tyson and Alex plan to drive there and meet us. The ride itself shouldn’t take much more than an hour each way, unless we stop to take in some sights. Sadly, the best laid plans never turn out as one hopes, and it turns out one of the horses has thrown a shoe, leaving only two to ride. Patrick is a much stronger rider than I am, and knows the area well from previous visits, so it’s decided that he and Addie will go alone. She’s so wrapped up in excitement that it doesn’t seem to faze her much that it will just be the two of them. It’s odd to watch them ride off together, but I can see her chatting away happily until I lose sight of them over the ridge. Tyson, Alex, and I drive to their friend’s farm, getting there only twenty minutes before the riders should arrive. Twenty becomes forty, and my nerves begin to rattle a ...
