She takes her eyes off the road, looks over at me.
"Everything will work out at home in the end. You know it will." she
says. We both get lost in our thoughts for a bit. I turn up the music, and we
enjoy singing together on the ride back home.

I haven't had much time to think about what I did on our
little vacation. I was thankful that I didn't have to see Kyle when the girls
came home. I am not ready to see him yet, after what happened at the bar. We
are slow this afternoon, so I have to much time to think about all this stuff.
I felt devastated, wondering why Kyle didn't fight to save our marriage. Tessa
explained all that, he obviously had a back up plan for our marriage.
I remember fighting over his texting and talking to her
while at home. He would tell me that she was helping him at work because he was
new. But he would walk out of the room and sometimes he would walk outside to
talk to her. He would say she lives out of state, like that made it ok. Then
he told me she was going through a divorce and needed someone to talk to. Deep
down, I think I knew something was going on.
He went to training in Memphis, because that is Delta's head
quarters. I don't want to think about what they did. What might have started
off innocent, definately did not end that way.
As I am cleaning, I think more about my weekend with Ted.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed myself with him. I guess I thought that it would
make me feel less cheated on. I'm still technically married and never thought I
would have done anything like this. It didn't lessen the sting of betrayal I
feel, for what Kyle has done to me. I decide, that before I ponder to much on
my worries, I need to get out of the shop for a little while. I find Jaylah in
the back doing some inventory.
"Hey Mama." She looks over at me and smiles.
"Do you mind if I take off a little early. Amanda will be here soon, for
her shift. I want to go see my dad and give him his gifts." There seems
to be something on her mind. "Are you okay, Jay?" She looks over at
me sadly.
"Yeah I'm fine. Talked to my dad today, he isn't
feeling well. I am trying to keep my mind busy."
"Hey if you need to go, I can stay until Amanda gets
here."
She shakes her head, "No, you go. I am going over
there for dinner tonight. Tell your dad hello from me, okay."
I give her a quick hug, "Thanks, if you need anything,
let me know?"
She nods her head and keeps counting. I feel awful for
leaving her like this, but I know she needs some time alone.

I pull into "Tom's Car Repair" and park my car. I
grab my bag of goodies and walk into the shop. I walk into an empty office, I
look around and see nobody. I open the door to the garage and walk right into
Wyatt. Oh my god, again . I can't believe I keep bumping into him.
Man he has such a nice body. Why do I feel that same
electricity. I realize, I haven't moved my hands from his chest and I quickly
lower them.
I look into his eyes, "You know we really need to stop
meeting like this, Anne" he says. He gives me that beautiful smile of his.
I smile back, "I'm sorry. I was looking for my
dad." He looks like he wants to say something, but not sure how to say it.
And frankly, I'm still embarassed about Christmas Eve and the Bar. Before
either of us can say anything more....
"Anne, how the hell are you?" says Rick. He walks
up to me and I gives me a big bear hug. He actually picks me up of the ground
and twirls me, I laugh in his arms. He has always been like family to me.
"I'm good, thanks. I haven't seen you in awhile, how
are you and your family?" Out of the corner of my eye, I see Wyatt walk
away. I guess its better that way. Then Dan comes around the corner.
"Anne girl, come give me a hug." Dan says. As a
teenager, I worked a couple days a week here. It was fun, and easy money. But I
thought of Rick and Dan, more like Uncle's. The three of us are catching up and
dad walks up to me.
