December 1999
She was going back to Southfield.
Serena Jenkins sank back into the less than comfortable seating of the
commercial plane. She was oblivious to the discomfort as she stared out the
small window next to her, her index finger idly rubbing against on her chin.
Her mind soared through the clouds and past the spectacular aerial view of
New Mexico. What she was thinking of was far more paramount than the
geometrical shapes of dusky colored land peeking through the wisps of cotton
candy like clouds.
She allowed her mind to go back to the sleepy town in Maine where her
life was forever changed twelve years ago. She sat motionless while the
airhostess politely asked her which beverage she would prefer; she was
impervious to the curious look she received when she remained silent to the
inquiry. Because she was not here on the plane to Maine, she was far away in
a cramped space where her life took the one turn that was irrevocable.
Serena jarred herself out of the trance when warm fingers brushed her
hand to capture her attention. She smiled politely at the passenger next to
her, answering his question which curt formality. She adjusted her attention
to the small television screen some yards away from her. Julia Roberts was
reiterating her non-negotiable terms for one night of passion with her to
Richard Gere.
Soon enough she drifted from the steamy sex scene to far more pressing
matters.
She was going back to Southfield.
And when she got there, all hell would break loose.
