CHAPTER SIX
Lucille did make it through but she wouldn't be able to leave the hospital for quite awhile. The doctors told them that there was nothing that could really be done for Lucille outside of a care facility. Since, there was none closer to home, she'd have to remain there until she was strong enough to walk. This wouldn't be for several weeks, the heart attack had been very severe and damaged a good portion of her heart. The slightest stress could send her into another.
Mark's wife, Sara, came in and took the brothers' places at Lucille's side. This was so that they could drive Lucille's Jeep and Karen back to town. In the vehicle, Karen rode shotgun while Mark sat in the back with the two boys.
"Sheez, Mark, I don't know what I'm going to do about Justin now when I'm out." Glenn pondered to his brother as he drove.
"It's too bad we don't live closer to one another, Sara would watch him I'm sure." Mark suggested.
"No, I don't want to put her out." Glenn sighed. "I know she has enough on her plate right now."
The wheels in Karen's head were turning. She didn't know why she was thinking of it but something just made her say it.
"If you want Glenn, maybe I could watch the boy for you." Karen ventured quietly. "You..uh.know why I'm in this town. I've got some time on my hands."
"No offense Karen but you barely know us." Glenn told her. "Why would you want to help a complete stranger?"
"Because you've helped me." Karen replied. "Come on. I've been thinking about relocating for some time now, this is just the excuse to do it."
"She's got a good point there, bro." Mark chimed from the back.
"Miss Karen is pretty; is she going home with us?" Justin asked innocently. "I like her Daddy."
"Justin, I."
"Really, it's no trouble." Karen reassured him. Why am I trying so hard to stay in this town? What is wrong with me? "Please let me repay you for your kindness."
She seems nice enough and Justin apparently would get along with her. It's just there's something about her, something so much like Rose. Oh God, how can I be thinking these thoughts. This is all wrong. Glenn's thoughts were running rampant.
"If you're sure, the job is yours." Glenn said.
"Great! When do I work?" Karen smiled.
"Well, I have to go every Saturday morning early and I come back Wednesday morning." Glenn explained. "Mom usually just came up Friday night and stayed till Wednesday when I got home. That worked out best."
"You have to work on weekends? What kind of work do you do?" Karen was curious.
"Uh.I'm in sales." Glenn replied. "Sales at sporting events and stuff."
"What??? That's not what I'd call it." Mark started to say something.
"Shut up Mark! Mind your own business!" Glenn shouted.
"Whatever man!" Mark retorted.
"Uh, how do I get to the cabin without my car though." Karen tried to interrupt.
"Well I'll just have to pick you up I guess." Glenn decided. "I'll pick you up at Miss Lily's Friday say around 4. That okay?"
"Sure." Karen said.
"What do you charge?" Glenn then asked.
"Uh.it's been awhile. If I'm staying over night .uh. thirty dollars a day should be all right." Karen guessed.
"That's only $150 a week, you sure?" Glenn was surprised.
"That's enough for a baby-sitting job." Karen said.
"Well, hopefully, you won't have to work for me for too long." Glenn thought aloud. "I know you can get better pay than that elsewhere."
"I know, but I need a break from things for a little while." Karen assured him.
"Sounds like you've got yourself a sitter." Mark smiled from the back.
Karen was dropped off at Miss Lily's then and Glenn agreed to pick her up on Friday. The first time, he said he wanted her to come out early so that he could show her where everything was. Usually, he'd be picking her up at seven. For some reason though, the few days till Friday seemed to take forever. Karen was actually looking forward to this. She didn't know why but she felt some strange sort of safety whenever Glenn was around. Maybe just maybe, but no.she couldn't allow herself to think of it.
After the brother's dropped Karen off, they drove over to Lucille's to collect their own vehicles. They got out and had a little conversation before going their separate ways.
"Glenn, what is it?" Mark asked his little brother. "You've been really quiet since we've dropped off Miss Karen."
"I don't know, nothing I guess." Glenn muttered. "It's nothing really."
"Come on bro'. This is me you're talking to and you can't fool me. You're thinking about her aren't you?" Mark surmised.
"What?!? You're crazy brother! I think you've taken one too many chairshots to the head." Glenn was shocked. "The last thing I need right now is another woman in my life. No one could ever replace Rose."
"Uh.I wasn't talking about Karen. I was talking about mom." Mark quietly informed. Hmmm..I think maybe that he was thinking about Karen. He protested that a little too strongly. Could she be the answer? No stay out of it Mark, don't get in the middle of it. "Now that you mention her, she's a really kind person isn't she. It would be nice if Mom didn't have to rush back to work for you." Mark couldn't help himself.
"Mark! I know what you're thinking and you can just forget it right now. I don't need you trying to run my life. So drop this silly subject if you know what's good for you." Glenn was still on the defensive. I hate him sometimes he just knows too much.
"Sheez! Calm down Glenn! I was just pointing out that maybe Mom would appreciate a vacation, that's all." Mark retorted as he promptly got in his truck, started the engine, and pulled away.
"Sorry brother!" Glenn called after him softly.
