A Shopping Trip- Chapter One- Maureen's P.O.V.
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I asked Olivia to go shopping with me. Actually, I'm pretty sure I wasn't thinking at all, it just sort of happened.
She answered my dad's phone. And I could hardly tell it was her by the casualness with which she did it, like it was the most natural thing in the world. They were partners, but its 8 o'clock at night, so either they have a hard case, or there's something he's not telling us.
"Hello?"
"Oh, uh I think I have the wrong number. Sorry."
"Maureen? Is that you?
"Livia? Yeah, it's me. Where's my dad?"
"He ran out to get us coffee. We're working on a case and it looks like it'll be a late night. And I needed some caffeine, you know? I guess he forgot his cell. But how've you been? I haven't talked to you since the twins' birthday when you guys dragged me along to pizza."
"I've been busy with classes. I'm really looking forward to having next week off. Hopefully I can get some relaxation and shopping done. I haven't been in forever."
"Yeah, well I know your dad is hoping to get to spend some time with you. He misses you, you know."
"I know, and I'm totally going to reserve a day for him. That is if you think you can convince him to play hooky?"
"I bet I can."
"Well, maybe you could make him a deal. You'll take a day off if he does? That is if you'd interested in shopping with me. It's no fun shopping by yourself. And we haven't talked…well…ever. At least not really."
"That sounds great to me. I could really use a shopping trip too. But Casey doesn't like shopping. And I wouldn't put your dad through that torture. What day?"
"How 'bout we go Wednesday, and I can spend Thursday with dad? Do you think that'll work for you guys?"
"I'll have to double check with him, but I'm sure it will. See you then?"
"Absolutely, thanks Livia."
With that we hang up and I'm thinking this shopping trip could be the perfect time to find out about her and my dad. Kathleen and I have been wondering for years, but especially since the divorce was final. Livia and my dad have seemed to just get closer. He even hugged her good bye when we went for pizza for the twins' birthday. If there's not something happening there already the way I see it is that it's only a matter of time. I'm not sure if I'm okay with that or not. But talking to her on Wednesday about it should definitely help. Now all that's left is to plan what I say.
