CHAPTER 26
Tylo came down from tucking in said, "She 's all tucked in."
"Thank you."
"You're on your own Mr. Donovan."
"Are you saying this the end?"
"Pretty much."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
"Yes, it does. In the long run it will be better for the three of us." She said walking towards the door.
Frank thought about pursuing her, but he knew she was right, they really had nothing in common except Veronica and that was not enough for a relationship to grow.
Tylo knew that it wasn't going to work out between her and Frank, he had only acknowledged her because of Veronica and it was not a reason to pursue Frank.
Tylo went into work knowing that Gary would be the DA firing off questions as soon as he could.
Gary walked in her office without knocking. "How did it go?"
"Don't you knock anymore? Fine, Veronica is talking to him and I washed my hands of the entire situation with him." "Meaning?"
"That he has never been interested in me except when it comes to his daughter. So as much as I like Veronica, that is not enough for a relationship to grow between Frank and myself."
"You're not even going to try?"
"What's the use? I'm being realistic here."
"It's your choice. On a lighter note, are still watching the kids this weekend? Marlene and I are looking forward to quality time together."
"Yes, she picking them up and bringing to the office right?"
"That's the plan, right after school."
"Then I guess we're both leaving early that day."
He walked around and kissed her on the forehead, "You're the best, and someday your ship will come in."
Frank noticed that Tylo's car was in her driveway earlier than usual. Of course it was Friday and she worked for herself so she could come and go as she pleased.
"We have a little time before we go to dinner, what do you guys want to do?"
Gary popped up and said, "Shoot some hoops."
"What about your sister?"
"I don't want to play, can I ride my bike?" Jackie asked.
"Sure, we have about an hour before getting ready to go."
Jackie got her bike out while Gary dragged the basketball hoop out onto the driveway. They all were playing when Mabel pulled in the driveway with Veronica. Veronica looked over and saw the two kids by Tylo. Mabel saw her look over towards Tylo, and then the sad face appeared.
"What's wrong?" Mabel asked.
"Tylo has new kid friends, she doesn't want to be my friend anymore."
"I don't think that's the correct."
Frank wondered why Mabel and Veronica were sitting in the car so long and came out to see what was happening. He noticed Tylo playing basketball with a boy, and a girl riding her bike up and down the road. He knew that it would be a long night with his daughter.
Frank opened the car door to get Veronica when he noticed she was starting to cry. It pulled at his heartstrings, because he could do nothing for his daughter.
"How's my babygirr?" Frank said hugging Veronica.
"Okay."
He held his daughter for a minute, looking over at Mabel asking with his eyes what to do. Mabel didn't have any answers, so she shrugged her shoulders. Frank let go of his daughter and they started walking in the house, when the basketball hit Frank. Gary had swatted it so hard to block Tylo's shot, that it hit Frank in the back.
Frank caught himself before he fell, feeling a sharp pain though his leg, and had to lean against the car.
Tylo walked up to Frank, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"Yeah." He said.
She bent down to get the ball, when Veronica said; "I'm not going to be your friend anymore!"
Tylo looked up at Frank to see that he was surprised as she was. She debated whether to ask Veronica what she meant or just leave it alone. She looked at Frank and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"Why did you say that?" Tylo asked her.
"Because, you have new friends."
Gary yelled, "Come Aunt Tylo!"
She turned around, "In a minute!" and threw the ball at him.
"I have lots of friends, that doesn't mean that they're any more important than you."
"But you're playing with them."
"They are my niece and nephew, I am babysitting them for the weekend."
"But if they're here, you won't be my friend."
Frank noticed that Tylo was having a hard time handling the situation and her explanation wasn't as endearing as when she talked to Veronica before. She was being curt and straight to the point. He needed to rescue Veronica before it got any deeper.
Tylo's patience was getting short with Veronica; she just didn't have it in her anymore to keep explaining herself especially to a child. Frank was absolutely no help, but then again why would he.
Before she could respond to Veronica, Frank said, "Veronica, that's enough. You are not Tylo's only friend; you have to accept that there are times when she will be with other people and kids. That doesn't mean, you're any less of a friend. Do you understand?"
Veronica started crying and ran over to Mabel whom took her in the house. Tylo looked at Frank and he said, "Either you were having a hard time in general not handling the situation or you didn't give a shit. Which one is it?"
