When Samuel and Tracy returned from Jamaica, the first thing they did was to prepare the course was to begin shortly. Samuel had to go back to 'Cheers'. When they arrived, they all received the young couple happily. Near the end of the night, before closing, the gang of bar commented about their news and summer experiences. The most celebrated new was the one who gave them Frasier:
-… You will have noticed that Frederick is not here. The reason is that they are living together. It was a terrible decision because Lilith and Frederick clashed. It seemed a battle ... something like the D-day. Finally won my son, but Lilith does not give up easily, and I fear has not said her last word.
-But, your son is happy? Tracy asked.
-Oh yeah! Very happy. -Frasier said full of pride- Have their house across the river, just outside Cambridge. They want to be far enough away from his mother, but near the university, for Grace, because she continues to study.
-Did Fred found work? -Samuel asked.
-With his academic record? Are you kidding?- asked rhetorically Frasier- the offers of employment rained. Finally he´s working in a prestigious psychological cabinet, here in Boston. In addition, he is helping me to practise... If it follows the thing, I'll have to rename my office as "Crane and Son" ...
All of them congratulated Frasier by such good news.
When the bar was closed and returned home, Tracy was very quiet. She has lots of ideas and feelings that intersected with its comings and goings, as in a huge whirlwind. She was glad, for Frasier and Grace, but couldn´t help feel a little jealous, with "healthy envy", for the fact that, taking less time together, Fred and Grace had a good house, a good job, and, ultimately, a more stable life. Isn´t that she had complaint of her relationship with Samuel, but maybe, at that time, it seemed to her to be more "bohemian" . She was happy with Samuel. That summer had left obvious that were meant for each other, and both families had fitted so well. Maybe for all this, now she wanted more, needed more. On the other hand, she was aware of the youth of Samuel and she didn´t want to push him to something moreover formal, ...lest the cure would be worse than the disease. She decided, therefore, be silent, choke that desire, for the sake of her relationship with Samuel.
When they arrived to apartment, Tracy could feel suffocated in the confined space, She felt like a caged sparrow. Samuel realized something was wrong.
-Do you think of anything?. At the bar you were too distracted , when you were driving home very quiet, and now have a expression on your face as if you were to mourn... -Samuel said tenderly as intertwined his fingers with hers.-
-It's nothing ..- lied Tracy- ...maybe the jet lag, depression post vacation, or may not be anything, and just be a silly moment.
-You´re a bad liar -Samuel said with his charming smile-... but you're so pretty ...
He could not finish the sentence. Tracy pulled him towards her and kissed him tenderly on the mouth. That, ignited the spirit of Samuel that succumbed to her charms, ended up tangling his body with hers. They stayed until dawn. So Tracy drowned her desire to change their lives emulating to Frederick, dipping into the deep waters of their passion.
Will continue...
