"For the last time, Alice, where are we going?"
We're sitting out in the gazebo that her parents just had installed, sipping ice tea looking out over the pond. I come here frequently, trying to find a way to make things better between Edward and me.
It has been a week since my doctor appointment, since I got the news that my blood work is in the normal range and there is no detection of cancerous cells. I have been off chemo for over a week. There are days when I still can't believe it, when I worry that I will wake and it will all be just a bad dream.
"We are going out. It is a surprise. We need to celebrate your prognosis; we need to get you back out there."
I know that she means well but I am just not in the place yet. But from the gleam in her eyes, I can tell that I am not going to get out of it. When she reminds me that it has been way too long since we've gone out like this, I cave.
Her squeal of delight scares a small group of birds that we hoping along the ponds edge. I laugh at her exuberance and allow myself to be dragged back to the house. She makes me shower, then we spend the next few hours giving ourselves home manicures and pedicures.
We laugh and talk like it was when we were in school. It feels good to have this small weight lifted off my chest. For the first time I feel normal. When the polish is dry, Alice barges ahead and picks out clothes and a scarf for me. I have a very fine growth of hair on my head, but I'm still self conscious about it.
She does her hair and both of our faces. By the end of it all when I look in a mirror I gasp. I have not seen this girl in a while. There is color on her cheeks, a smile on her face that isn't forced; there is even a sparkle in her eyes. She looks happy and healthy. Things I haven't felt or been in what seems like forever.
Arm in arm we actually skip out to the waiting limo and head over to the Hilton for dinner. We drink wine and let the good times roll. I have the familiar floaty feeling when I have had too much wine. I try unsuccessfully to sneakily figure out where we are headed next, but Alice stays mum.
I'm sipping on more wine as we are driving when I happen to look out the window. A huge, lighted marquee glows like a beacon in the night.
Midnight Dawn- One Night Only
"Alice?" I whimper. "Please tell…you did not…I'm not ready…"
"He asked that I get you here." She holds out an envelope with my name on it.
With shaking hands I open it up.
Give me a chance to show you just how much I need you. Let me show you how I feel.
Yours Always,
Edward
