Chapter 3: Crazy Things Can Happen

Lucy found two seats in the back where they could cuddle, and of course make out. But as they were waking up the aisle to get to they top, a woman stopped Kevin…

"Kevin, is that you?" questioned the woman.

Lucy is just standing there confused, no knowing whom the woman is. She looks at Kevin who has a guilty look on his face. This makes Lucy very upset.

"Kevin, are you coming or what?" Lucy said, trying not to sound arrogant.

Kevin stands frozen; he doesn't know what to say to the woman, or to Lucy. Both women stand there looking at him. Kevin knows he needs to answer the woman and his wife, but he is thinking and starting to turn very red.

"How am I going to explain this to Lucy? I know I should have told her before we got married. This is going to screw everything up. Why did she have to come and ruin it all? This is bad, very bad. I can't just come right out to Lucy and tell her. She is going to go berserk, I know it!"

"KEVIN!" both women yell.

This interrupts Kevin thoughts. He looks up at his wife. She is looking at him as if she is going to kill him before he has a chance to explain. He then looks at the woman not knowing what to say. Kevin takes Lucy by the hand, Lucy unwillingly, but goes with him. He takes her out of the room and kisses her passionately. She doesn't return the kiss.

Oh no this means she isn't too happy with me. What do I tell her? I can't lie to her; I just need to tell her the truth. I know she loves me with all her heart and I lover her with all my heart, so this should be no problem. We can work through this, or I don't know. She just had to come back into my life again. She always shows up at all the bad times.

"Excuse me, Kevin, but I think I have the right to no what went on back there," Lucy said loudly, to get his attention.

Kevin looked at Lucy. She was glaring at him with her big blue eyes. He couldn't help but melt right there. Kevin loved this woman so much and he knew this was going to crush her.

"Well sweetheart, I need to tell you something really important, but I really don't think this is the place…."

"Well Kevin, I do!" Lucy replied.

Right then the woman comes out of the theater. Walking up to Kevin and Lucy….

Nathan's Secret Place

Nathan had taken Ruthie by the hand and was going to take her to his secret spot where he had found the first day he went exploring around Glenoak. It was way back in the neighborhood. There were woods and in the middle was an only a gardener's dream. Flowers everywhere, a little spring, and bright green grass. It was lovely.

"Well here we are," Nathan announced.

"It's beautiful," replied Ruthie.

"I thought you would think so," he said.

Over by the spring there was a blanket and basket set up.

"Well I took the liberty of setting up a blanket and some snacks before I came to your house. Over by the spring I set up a blanket and a basket is there too," said Nathan.

"Oh, Nathan, that is so thoughtful," she said as she went up to Nathan and kissed him on the cheek. Ruthie normally wouldn't have done that, but he seemed special. There was something different about him.

She took him by the hand this time and took Nathan to the blanket and basket. They lay down and were just holding each other, feeling the warmth of the sunshine, and of each other….

The Camden House

Eric, Annie, and the twins return from their day at the zoo. Eric called for Ruthie, but he got no answer. He looked around the house, but no one was there. He checked for a note, but nothing.

"Annie, Ruthie is not here and she didn't leave a note," Eric said.

"Well maybe she went out with a friend, I don't think we have to worry. Ruthie is very responsible and we trust her," Annie said.

Eric reluctantly agreed, but he had a bad feeling about this.
