They sat
side by side in the car; Vanessa felt pangs of excitement mingled with fear.
The jitters, it’s the jitters she kept saying to herself. Oh God, who was she kidding?
She was terrified and suddenly unsure. What was she doing? This was crazy.
“They are only your parents and
family. They may not like what you are doing but they will accept your decision
on it. They have to- they love you after all.”
She looked at him. She didn’t know
how he could keep doing that but he just seemed to know what she was thinking. She
thought back over the past weeks. They had gone so quickly, it seemed, since
Quest had first come back into her life. A sense of wonder spread over her
heart. So much had happened; so many things had changed- both good and bad. Her
family was confused but not resistant.
She knew that the car was taking
them out to her parents house. She knew that her brothers would be there. She
knew that Dad would go get her sister. She knew she would have to take time to
say goodbye to each of them. She knew she was ready. But- but what?
But what? Then it hit her that there
was something she had forgotten about. What was Sue going to do with that
mahogany and teak desk in her old office. She looked over at Quest who started
smiling.
“This is all your fault, you know.” She
quipped.
Quest
laughed his musical laugh, shook his head and winked at her.
“Perhaps
she can replant it.”
