After all the tears of joy were cried, Katheryn's mother, Lacey, went into
the kitchen and cooked Katheryn's favorite meal: Shake 'N Bake chicken with
homemade mashed potatoes, fresh salad and filtered water. The three of them
sat down to eat. Katheryn's parents informed Katheryn of all the happenings
in the past 7 years and Katheryn told her parents about life in America and
all the wonderful things she saw and all the people she met. "They're not
much different than us," she explained. "Just a little more rude, but they
work harder too."
Dinner soon passed, and nothing about Jason was mentioned. Katheryn sat on
the couch in the living room just looking at her house. It was redecorated
since she left, probably even redecorated a few times, but it still felt
comfy. She felt safe and it seemed like she never left.
Jim was downstairs in the workshop, doing his handy woodworking. 'He hasn't
changed a bit," Katheryn thought to herself. She went into the kitchen to
find her mother doing the dishes. "Need help?" she asked.
"Sure sweetie," Lacey replied.
As Katheryn nervously dried the dished her mother handed her, she
contemplated whether to ask about Jason. Five plates and 4 glasses later,
she finally asked, "How is Jason?"
Lacey smiled. "Jason is doing fabulous! You know him and Adam are in the
WWF?" Katheryn nodded. She knew, but she could never bring herself to watch
her brother and best friend on TV. It was too painful for her. "Anyway,
Jason and Adam are a tag team, Edge and Christian. You know that of,
course." Well, actually, Katheryn didn't but she pretended she did. "They
won the tag titles 7 times. And Adam won King of the Ring just last week!
Jason made the semi-finals but Kurt Angle beat him, but I was proud of him
anyway."
'She always took pride in Jason. He really is as amazing as she says. I
just can't wait to see him," Katheryn thought to herself. She continued
drying dishes when she asked, "So, uh, mom? When will they come to Toronto?
Anytime soon?"
"That is a good question isn't it honey?" Lacey took her attention away
from the dishes and went to the calendar. "Toronto...Toronto..." she said
to herself skimming the calendar. "Ah! They will be here in a little over 3
weeks. Oh sweetheart this is so exciting. The whole family together for the
first time in 7 years!" she squealed in delight as she hugged her daughter.
Katheryn simply smiled and then got back to drying dishes. It took about
another 10 minutes and then it was all done.
Katheryn made her way upstairs. Boy, was she beat. She went into her room,
which was left ultimately untouched all these years and flopped on her bed.
"3 weeks," she said to herself.
She rolled on her stomach facing her nightstand. She looked and saw a
picture in a frame. It was her and Jason hugging at a party when the
Toronto Maple Leaves were in the Stanley Cup Finals. That was years ago,
and they were so young then. But, they looked exactly the same. "I hope he
forgives me. Otherwise I don't know what I will do."
