As he pulled away he whispered, "I love you too."
They kissed again and the world around them melted away.~
Three Days Later
Danny
sat with his back to the memorial stone that sat in the yard. He often sat at
his father's grave when he needed to think. Without looking at the stone he
could feel the letters.
Daniel
Walker
I soared
above the songbirds
And
never heard them sing,
I lived
my life in winter
And then
you brought the spring
He
knew his father had written that poem for Evelyn. It pieced his heart when he
read it knowing that his father wasn't here to see them.
Danny
closed his eyes and rested his head against the stone. The sound of a car
coming up the road drew his attention. It was the mailman. The mailman got out
of the car and walked to the door. Danny ran up the side of the porch.
"Hello
Danny," the mailman said.
"Hi Mr.
Nation, do you have anything for me today?"
"As a
matter of fact I do," Mr. Nation smiled. "Your Momma and Daddy got a few bills
and you have a letter from a Ms. Bet Winkle in Virginia." He handed Danny the
several letters.
"Thank you
Mr. Nation,"
"No
problem," Mr. Nation left and Danny ran into the house.
"Mailman
come yet?" Evelyn asked.
"Yup,"
"And?"
"These are
for you and Rafe," he tossed the bills on the table then headed back out.
"Where are
you going?"
"Just the
back yard," Danny sat in the patch of grass at his father's grave and opened
the letter. The page smelt of woman's perfume. He grinned.
~Dear
Danny,
I was
happy to get your letter. It was okay you stole that plain. That was the
happiest night of my life. But with Rafe working you, you have to remember he's
getting older so he'll need help. Just think of it that way. If you really want
to get out of there so bad then maybe you should join the air force or
something since you love flying.
I also
miss you so much. It's only been two weeks and I don't know how I'll make it
without you until next year. Every time I see a sunset I remember that day and
when I see the moon I remember that night.
I don't
think it's morbid that your father is in the back yard. And I can't imagine
what its like to lose a loved one, but I'm guessing they are doing they're best
to remember him. If you need to talk I'm always here. I love you so much and I
miss you.
Love
Always and Forever,
Bet~
Danny
ran his fingers over the letter and then rested his hands on the cool grass.
"Danny!
Dinner!" Evelyn called from the kitchen. Danny sighed and got up.
Two Weeks Later
Bet
looked at her calendar and counted the days. "No." she said to herself. She
counted the days again. Same number. She threw the calendar across the room and
it hit the door. Just the she heard a tap.
"Bet?"
"Come in,"
Rachel walked in.
"Here's
your letter,"
"Thanks,"
she took it from her mother and walked back to her bed.
"You okay
Betty?"
"I'm fine
Mom,"
"You're
sure?"
"Yes,"
"So how
many letters have you gotten from Danny?"
"Including
this one, six,"
"You really
care for him don't you?" Bet nodded. "Well I'm going to start dinner."
"Okay,"
Rachel left and Bet opened the letter.
~My
Dearest Bet,
How are
things? I'm doing better. Rafe doesn't have me working as hard since I twisted
my wrist fixing the plane but it won't last that long. I don't mind. I'm still
working up the courage to leave. I'm thinking of going to college. But I don't
know, all I really want to do is fly and to be with you. Being states away is
bad enough.
I wish I
could be with you right now. I wish I could run my fingers threw your hair-
She
couldn't even finish reading the letter. She reached for a new sheet and pen.
Three Days Later
Danny
looked threw the pile of letters on the kitchen table until he found the one he
was looking for. He made a mad dash for the back yard. It was now a tradition
for him to read the letters by the memorial.
When he
opened the letter he saw tear stains on the paper and the running ink.
~Danny,
I
couldn't finish reading the last letter you sent me. I couldn't finish reading
it because there's something inside of me that I have to tell you. Danny…I
couldn't call you and…
Danny
dropped the letter. His eyes stared at the ground. Evelyn obviously saw from
the kitchen window. She walked out.
"Danny,
what's wrong?" Danny didn't answer. Evelyn looked at the paper on the ground
and picked it up. She placed her handover her mouth when she read the shocking
line: Danny I'm pregnant
