Besides… I was hoping you’d stay here those days to help me out too- I looked at him pleadingly- After all, we need to start planning the wedding. Well, she asked and it’s only for a couple of days, next week Uncle Charlie will still be in Columbus so we’ll have extra rooms. He raised an eyebrow-Are you sure you can handle all that right now? Your schedule is full She’ll bring your mother and I’m sure her husband will come if Cornelia is I told her she could stay here for a couple of days next week. She wants to come to Chicago, Cornelia is born. Lucille?-He looked at me now sitting at the table after washing his face- What did she say? He gave me a sarcastic smile in response, the one you gave to your mother as a kid when she forced you to be photographed, and it made me laugh- Go throw some water on your face, will ya? You’re giving me the heebie-jeebies- I said running my fingers through his hair to fix it up, after a few seconds I got his attention again- Hey, your sister wrote me Why wouldn’t I be? I’ve got the most handsome man in the world right in front of me He chuckled looking at me- You’re in a good mood Morning, my dear fiancé- I put emphasis on that last part We were truly domestic now, all that stood in the way were the days until I walked down the aisle His disheveled hair that was usually in pristine shape and his slightly swollen eyes from having just woken up made me warm inside. I finished breakfast and was about to wake Neil up when he came down the stairs. Hazel would be here these days, so it was better to separate things for now. I wrote her back immediately, letting her know I was sorry for disappearing and that I’d love to have her in Chicago next week. Lucille was so understanding, too much for her own good. It was sweet of her to have written me after I stormed out of Boston without even saying goodbye. I am thrilled to have you as a new addition to our family Please reply to my letter as soon as you can and let us know when it is a good time to visit you. My mother shall come with me if you accept, she’s ready to make amends. I’d be delighted if you’d allow me to introduce you as her aunt as well. I wish to visit you both in Chicago and I’d love for Neil to meet his niece. I also wanted to notify you and my brother Neil about the birth of my daughter, Cornelia. It was an unfortunate turn of events, and I wanted to be sure to let you know my mother heard her share about it from me. I couldn’t help but feel guilty about how we ended things with you. I sat on the dinner table opening the letter I assumed Neil gave her my address in case she wanted to reach him somewhere else, but it startled me that it was addressed to a “Miss Granger”. I arranged his clothes that were thrown on the floor last night on the bed and went down to whip up us some breakfast.īefore I did so I went to get the mail, and surprisingly found a letter from Lucille.
I got up, leaving him peacefully and putting on my robe. Part of me wondered what it was he dreamt about. His brows furrowed in his sleep, his slight frown that made him a cynic even when he was unconscious. I laid on his bare chest, noticing the details on his face. I didn’t complain, how many sleepless nights and meals he skipped in the years since the war? He had some catching up to do.
Neil now ate more than me and woke up later than me, so he was still sleeping.
Neil and me were wrapped up in last night’s sheets, but at some point I had to get moving. That’s what I was thinking about that morning. So even though I wasn’t sure if we were going to beat Vera once more, I’ll be darned if I let her win. A leader keeps doing whatever he has to do and he never shows insecurity, he never lets doubt grow in those who depend on him.
But if there’s one thing Poppa told me is that you don’t show that. I have faced dangers and sometimes I wasn’t sure if I could do it. When I told Uncle Charlie I’d take over the Ice Box for him, I had the common sense to know it’d be dangerous, but I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into.
